Effect of nature and nurture on the personality of the individual?

Answer 1

Nurture - Although "nurture" has historically been referred to as the care given to children by their parents, in particular their mother, it is now widely regarded as any environmental (not genetic) factor in the contemporary nature versus nurture debate. This includes the influences on development arising from prenatal, parental, extended family and peer experiences, extending to influences such as media, marketing and socio-economic status. Indeed, a substantial source of environmental input to human nature may arise from stochastic variations in prenatal development. Additionally, although childhood experience (especially early childhood experience) is often regarded as more influential in who one becomes than post-childhood experience, a liberal interpretation of "nurture" might count all life experience as "nurture".

Nature - Genetic and various inborn biological factors affecting overall development.

If you can find a way to prove this scientifically, you will become the richest person on the planet! Scientists have been arguing over this one for centuries. Nature refers to your genetic makeup and inherited traits. Nurture refers to the way that you are raised. Both contribute to your development, obviously. You learn many things from the adults around you as you grow, but also you have many traits that are inborn. Nobody has ever been able to prove conclusively which one has more influence.

Answer 4

Nature refers to the genetic and biological factors that influence personality traits, such as temperament. Nurture includes environmental influences, such as upbringing and life experiences, shaping personality development. Both nature and nurture play a role in shaping an individual's personality, with genetics setting the foundation and experiences providing opportunities for further development.
