Directions for your Main Entry: The nature – nurture debate has been around for a long time and impacts a variety of areas of research to include personality psychology. Your task this week is to select one (1) of the following topics: Out of the following topics I decided to go with personality theory and the relevance of twin studies. It captured my attention because my father is a twin. My dad and my uncle despite being far apart geographically are a copy and paste of each other over the phone and when we get a moment to fly back to Kenya to see the family. I have always wanted a twin but despite actually having one, I have a cousin who is a week older than me who I consider a twin. In saying my father and his brother are a copy and paste of each other, there are slight differences. They are both people persons, my uncle is more on the talkative and personable side. Take away the topic being interesting, due to the fact that you can be a twin and be semi different or completely different, I also picked the topic because it is relatable. In the article it stated that there has been a lot of research that has shown that about half of peoples differences in personality traits is heritable. In the most recent studies, what’s been reported is that heritability is not fixed, but more so goes down across the life span. So most of the findings are inconsistent and it is yet unclear whether these trends are because of a waning importance of heritable tendencies, attributable to cumulative experiential influences with age, or because of nonlinear patterns suggesting gene and environment interplay. So the four twin samples from Croatia, Finland, Germany, and the United Kingdom, the examinations of age trends in genetic and environmental variance showed evidence for an increasing relative importance of life experiences contributing to personality differences across the life span.

Topic 1 The study of personality seeks to understand differences in the traits of individuals as well as how those traits work together to create an individual. The similarities, or lack thereof, of personality traits between people and why those similarities or differences occur has always fascinated me. Ultimately one of the best ways to investigate how and why personality traits develop is through conducting twin studies. I come from a family with many sets of twins, including my mom and her fraternal brother, and I’ve always wanted to wandered if genetics played a role in their personality development. I chose an article titled “Personality Similarity in Twins Reared Apart and Together.” (Tellegan et al.) that used a large sample of twins to investigate any affect genetics have on personality traits. The study included administering the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire, MPQ, to three different types of twins monozygotic, dizygotic reared-apart, dizygotic reared-together. The results of the study concluded that having a similar growth environment was not as significant as most people think and that genetics did not show any evidence to playing a role in distribution of personality traits.
