Question
If you were taking part in a debate with another psychologist over the relative influences of nature and nurture on development, which position do you think you’d be most likely to take if you wanted to win the debate?
A Research has consistently shown that we are ultimately determined by our genes, irrespective of influence of one’s surroundings.
B Both nature and nurture take a back seat to the influence of technology in today’s world, so that is really the influence we should examine.
C Genes can, in every case, be muted or enhanced by the influences of one’s environment. Therefore nurture is most important.
D Because it is impossible to determine the different levels of influence of nature and nurture, the debate was abandoned in psychology decades ago.
E Nature and nurture interact to determine virtually every aspect of development.
