Nature-Nurture

The video explores the ongoing debate in psychology about whether human behavior is primarily influenced by nature (genetics and biology) or nurture (environment and experiences). It presents the views of Albert Bandura, who argues that aggression is learned through observation, and Jim Fallon, who suggests that brain structure can predispose individuals to aggression. The video concludes by highlighting the importance of the interaction between nature and nurture, using Fallon's personal experience as an example of how a supportive environment can mitigate genetic predispositions.

In what ways did Jim Fallon's personal experiences influence his views on nature and nurture?

How do researchers currently view the interaction between biological and environmental factors in shaping behavior?
