Behavioral Genetics
Behavioral genetics is a study of how our genes and environment together shape the way we think, feel and act. Scientists study twins, families, and adopted children, and also look at genes, to find out what comes from heredity and what comes from life experiences. The area suggests that traits such as aggression, depression, anxiety and addiction are not controlled by a single “behavior gene”, but rather by interaction of many genes with personal experiences, upbringing and culture. Understanding these links helps researchers to explain why some people may put more risk to some behaviors or mental health conditions. This knowledge guides new strategies for prevention, treatment and support, highlighting the balance between biology and environment.
