Inheritable personality traits include:
*Smoking habits
*Overall addictions
Less heritable traits include:
*Happiness/angriness
*Learned behavior
Three environmental factors that may influence behavior are:
*Behavior of parents/guardians
*Housing community
*Acquaintances/friends
*Upbeat/peaceful cultural gatherings
Genetics play less of a part in the development of certain personality traits, especially when compared to the environment, because most of it comes from learned behaviors and the activities of other around us. Even things that we expect to be genetic, like eye color, are influenced by the environment (in a different way, of course).
Here's a nice paragraph for you:
A personality trait that is more inheritable than others is smoking/addiction patterns. A child whose mother or father (or both) smoke is much more likely to pick up on smoking than one whose parents don't. As for one that is less heritable, angriness is definitely more influenced by past experiences and the environment in general. Someone with generally angry parents could be the happiest person due to different experiences with life. A child who lives in an aggressive household is more likely to exude anger than one who lives in a happy and calm one. Thus, it is clear that the environment plays the greatest influence on the development of most traits. It even, under some circumstances, can determine the appearance of traits that we expect to be 100% caused by genetics -- even if only .1% is caused by [it].
