Social environment is not the only factor that determines good or bad behavior of a person, but genetic factors also play a significant role in this. Researchers came up with this belief after studying the behavior of adult twins.
Findings of this study stand head to head to the previous assumption, according to which social environment is the only determining factor that shapes good or bad behavior. Commenting on this issue study author Laura Koenig remarked:
This study shows that religiousness occurs with these behaviors also because there are genes that predispose them to it.
Here it is worth mentioning that this several studies, conducted in the past have also shown that genes play a crucial role in shaping our behavior. However, this study has once again renewed this fact. It seems that further study on this subject may provide researchers with more concrete information to explore this sphere of science further.
