Nature vs. Nurture Critical Analysis Paper

Note: My opinion for this paper is that "nuture" or environment has a greater impact on behavior than "nature" or genetics This paper must be written in APA format, include APA citations throughout, a Reference page and title page. It is required to have a minimum of 3 pages of content. If you have less than is required, please note that there will be significant point deductions. In terms of sources, you must use a minimum of 3 scholarly sources, retrieved from the LTCC College Library Database (sources attached). In this paper, you will research the role of biology and environment on behavior. You will discuss the following within the body of your paper. The first 2-2.5 pages need to be research, while the final 0.5-1 page will include your personal opinions and recommendations. RESEARCH PORTION: • Identify biological impacts on behavior. • Identify environmental impacts on behavior. • Describe how heredity and environment interact as it pertains to cognition, emotion, motivation, personality, drive states, Etc. • What does research indicate relative to whether "nature" or "nurture" is a greater or less determinant in the examination of behavior? OPINION PORTION: • Prior to your research, explain your opinions regarding the impact of biology/heredity and the environment on human behavior. • Identify additional contributors to behavior that research may not have. • When thinking about your own development thus far, what are variables that have contributed to your cognition, emotional composition and display, cognition, and behavior? • When thinking about your own development thus far, do you recognize any traits that you have observed in family members? If so, what are they? What do you attribute to these similarities? POINT VALUE: 100 RELEVANCE TO COURSE LEARNING: This paper will contribute to your understanding of the interplay of "biology" and environment" in the examination of human behavior. OBJECTIVE OF LEARNING TASK: This paper will allow you to analyze research pertinent to variables that impact human behavior, thought, emotion, Etc.

In terms of sources, you must use a minimum of 3 scholarly sources, retrieved from the LTCC College Library Database. In this paper, you will research the role of biology and environment on behavior. You will discuss the following within the body of your paper. The first 2-2.5 pages need to be research, while the final 0.5-1 page will include your personal opinions and recommendations. RESEARCH PORTION: • Which mental illnesses are known to be the most "heritable?" • Which mental illnesses are known to be the least "heritable?" • How does research explain heredity concerning mental disorders? • What environmental factors contribute to the acquisition of mental disorders? • What are protective factors people can take to protect themselves from acquiring a mental disorder, especially those of which have high probability of being passed down? OPINION PORTION: • Prior to your research, explain your opinions regarding the biological pass down of mental disorders. • After your research, do you believe that people with high probability pass down have ways to protect themselves? Explain. • What types of environmental variables should people with high probability pass down be mindful of to decrease the chances of them eventually getting the disorder? • How might the diathesis-stress model help in understanding psychopathology?
