    Question



    Human personality is the result of

    A.

    upbringing and education

    B.

    interaction between heredity and environment

    C.

    only environment

    D.

    only heredity

    Correct option is B


    Human personality is shaped by the interaction between heredity and environment. While heredity provides the genetic blueprint that influences certain traits and predispositions, the environment, including family, culture, education, and experiences, plays a crucial role in shaping how these traits are expressed and developed. This dynamic interaction forms the basis of personality development.
    Information Booster:
    · Heredity refers to genetic factors inherited from parents, which influence aspects like temperament, intelligence, and physical traits.
    · Environment includes all external factors such as upbringing, education, social interactions, and cultural influences.
    · Both factors work together to shape personality over time, with the environment modulating the expression of inherited traits.
    · The balance between nature (heredity) and nurture (environment) varies for different traits and individuals.
    · Early childhood experiences are particularly critical in personality development.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · (a) Upbringing and education are part of the environmental factors but not the sole contributors.
    · (c) Personality is not shaped by environment alone; genetic factors are essential.
    · (d) Heredity alone does not determine personality; environment significantly influences personal growth.
