Why I Chose This Topic
I chose behavioral genetics because I have a deep interest in both psychology and genetics. When choosing this topic I was curious about the effect that genetics had on mental illness and personality. I wanted to know if traits that our past relatives had were a part of our daily lives. If my third great grandfather raised goats, would I have a natural tendency toward goats? If a mother to twins had a personality disorder, what are the chances that both twins would possess it? Both these questions and more inspired me to research behavioral genetics for this project. |
