  6. Small Group: heredity or environment • Sammy has brown eyes and is five-years-old. she attends a neighborhood preschool everyday. her teachers have fallen in love with her witty personality and honey-colored hair. She is very intelligent and does well with the tasks assigned her. Sammy’s parents are divorced and she misses her father very much. Sammy has juvenile arthritis and must see the doctor often., At her last doctor’s visit, the doctor reminded Sammy’s mom that diabetes has run in her family for several generations and that Sammy should be watched closely for any early symptoms of diabetes. Sammys growth chart shows that she will probably be small for her age.

  7. The case of twins separated at birth? Which is more important, genetics or environment?

  8. Facts found in the studies • Twins shared jewelry wearing habits, children's names, phobias • similarities in "temperment, tempo and the way they do things • The results showed that such characteristics as leadership ability, imagination, vulnerability to stress and alienation were largely inherited.

  9. Facts found in the studies • traits such as aggression, achievement, orderliness and social closeness were fostered in the home environment • striking similarities were mannerisms (such as wearing rubber bands on the wrists, or reading magazines backwards), personal choices (such as choice of names for pets or children, or choice of clothing styles), and expressive social behavior (shyness or social ease, laughter, facial expressions and posture). These are exactly the sorts of things many of us refer to as personality, so these findings can be interpreted as strong support for genetic influences on personality.
