Document Summary
The approach to personality rooted in inheritance and evolution has two facets. One of them emphasizes that your personality is tied to the biological body you inherit. Studies of identical twins raised apart provide yet a different look at the effects of inheritance and environment. with temperaments: broad inherited traits that appear early in life. Evidence supports genetic influences on activity level, emotionality, and sociability. Behavior genetics provides ways to find out whether personality differences are inherited. Twin research has been used to look at genetic contributions to a variety of dispositions, starting. The idea that dispositions are genetically influenced can be extended a step further, to the temperaments for approach, avoidance, and effortful control. There also is evidence of genetic influence in the big five supertraits and other variables. It"s unclear whether the big five derive from (or duplicate) the temperaments studied under other names.
