Environmental Influences on Behavior
Pinker (2004) explores the interplay between environmental influences and genetics on human behavior, emphasizing the roles of parenting, peer groups, cultural norms, and gender development. He highlights that while genetics predispose individuals to certain behaviors, environmental factors shape specific outcomes, such as language acquisition and social norms. The article also examines the environmental contributions to psychopathologies like Autism and schizophrenia. Overall, behavior emerges from the complex interaction between genetic predispositions and environmental experiences.
