Overview
Behavioral genetics research has shown that individual differences in psychological traits are influenced by the interaction of both genetic and environmental factors. Although genes contribute to human behavior, they do not determine psychological traits independently. Environmental factors play an important role in shaping how these traits develop and are expressed throughout a person's life.
