Nature versus nurture refers to the long-standing debate in psychology about whether genetic factors (nature) or environmental factors (nurture) have a greater influence on human development and behavior.
This term refers to the extent to which individual differences in a trait can be attributed to genetic influences.
These are external influences such as family, culture, education, and social interactions that shape an individual's development.
Epigenetics explores how environmental factors can modify gene expression without changing the DNA sequence itself.
