The field of behavioural genetics unambiguously demonstrates that heritable individual differences exist and are important in explaining human behaviour. Despite this, some psychological perspectives ignore this research. If we wish to comprehensively understand the impact of parenting, the environment, or any social factor, however, we must engage with genetics. In this article, I review research that reveals that genes affect not only our personalities, but the way that we understand and react to the social world. Studies further reveal that notable life events are in part explained by genetic variance. I detail how this could be the case through active, evocative, and passive genetic correlations, and go on to argue that all complex psychological traits are likely the result of multifaceted gene by environment interactions. A mistaken belief that genetic influence implies genetic essentialism, and is therefore tantamount to prejudice, is raised as possible reason why heritability is often ignored in the social sciences. The article concludes with practical suggestions for how we can embrace behavioural genetics as our methods struggle to match the divine complexity of human existence.

自然vs.养育是胡说八道：关于整合遗传，社会，发展和个性心理学的必要性

行为遗传学领域明确表明存在可遗传的个体差异，这在解释人类行为方面很重要。尽管如此，一些心理学观点还是忽略了这项研究。但是，如果我们希望全面了解育儿，环境或任何社会因素的影响，则必须与遗传学接触。在本文中，我回顾了一些研究，这些研究揭示了基因不仅影响我们的性格，而且影响我们对社会世界的理解和反应的方式。研究进一步表明，显着的生活事件部分是由遗传变异解释的。我详细介绍了通过主动，唤起和被动遗传相关性可能发生的情况，并继续指出，所有复杂的心理特征可能都是环境相互作用导致多面基因的结果。有人错误地认为遗传影响意味着遗传本质论，因此等于成见，这是社会科学中经常忽略遗传性的可能原因。文章最后提出了实用的建议，说明当我们的方法难以与人类生存的神圣复杂性相匹配时，我们如何才能拥抱行为遗传学。
