A persons true nature always comes out. My parents adopted twins and the difference between them and my biological sister and I are night and day. My parents had the easiest time raising my sister and I but the twins are a pain and my parents don't raise them any different. Nurture has a big effect but nature rules.

Very very interesting question to ponder. It would be lovely to be able to reply that Nature had the most influence. However, I am of the belief that Nuture will influence an individual more.

Both. Most psychological phenomena are, under the modern theory, evaluated on a bio-psycho-social (and sometimes spiritual) model. Each of these things is a contributing factor to any one "thing" you're looking at.

Nurture for sure.

Nature.... without it your natural body functions would cease..... I'm a firm believer in living is a good thing!

A lot of smart people have debated this question.
I believe it's 50/50.

Definitely both. I see qualities in my kids that they were born with, and also some that I know they learned from living with their dad and I!
