Individuals’ Level of Aggression is Innate, but somewhat Modulated by Socialisation
Posted December 29, 2017
As with most personality traits, aggression has been demonstrated to be partly heritable. The contested question, however, is how heritable? On this front, studies have been largely inconsistent, with some finding close to zero environmental influence (taking into account both shared and non-shared environments).
Now, a new study, recently published in the journal PLOS One, provides more evidence that shared (familial) environments do matter after all.
