         <description><![CDATA[<div>Article: Are Personality Traits Hereditary? --Ugo Uche<br>"So while personalities are certainly inherited, the behavior of a child or teen is a result of how the child’s personality interacts with his or her daily experiences."<br>In this article, the author Ugo Uche presents his idea that personalities are to some extent hereditary, but there are more factors present coming into play for someone's traits. This concept conflicts with genetics and the Trait Theory, which explains that one's do control one's personality. This article was chosen because it shows the different perspectives on this topic and how the real truth behind it is still not fully known. For example, Uche states, "A strong-willed child or teen who is habitually disrespectful in one household does not necessary mean that he or she has been abused by the parent. It could be a matter of a personality clash between the parents and child [...]." Evidently, this piece of information presents the idea that conflicts can evoke such behavior, not necessarily just genetics. This article enhances our understanding as it does explain how in some ways genetics can influence personality (such as psychopathy), but it also challenges the theory and gets us to have a deeper understanding of it as we see the counterargument.<br>Uche, Ugo. “Are Personality Traits Hereditary?” <em>Psychology Today</em>, Sussex Publishers, 11 Oct. 2016, www.psychologytoday.com/blog/promoting-empathy-your-teen/201610/are-personality-traits-hereditary.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Why is this theory of personality important to the study of psychology? <em>&nbsp;How do you know? What makes you say that?</em></div><div>Genetics and the Trait Theory are imperative to the&nbsp; study of psychology, as it gives reasoning as to why we habitually behave the way we do: it is because of our genes and heredity. With this theory, psychologists can analyze why people have the personalities they do (it stems from their parents according to this theory). I know this as there have been tests that have put identical twins separated at birth in a blind experiment where they both ended up living nearly identical lives, supporting the idea that genetics do indeed have a huge part in people's personalities. Evidently, people's habitual behavior could be then studied based on their parent's genes and their own apparent personalities. Through these key aspects psychologist can trace back what led to someone's identity.</div>]]></description>
