Abstract
Behavior genetics has dem-
onstrated that genetic variance
is an important component of
variation for all behavioral out-
comes, but variation among
families is not. These results
have led some critics of behav-
ior genetics to conclude that
heritability is so ubiquitous as
to have few consequences for
scientific understanding of de-
velopment, while some be-
havior genetic partisans have
concluded that family environ-
ment is not an important cause
of developmental outcomes.
Both views are incorrect. Geno-
type is in fact a more system-
atic source of variability than
environment, but for reasons
that are methodological rather
than substantive. Development
is fundamentally nonlinear,
interactive, and difficult to con-
trol experimentally. Twin stud-
ies offer a useful methodologi-
cal shortcut, but do not show
that genes are more fundamen-
tal than environments.
Keywords
genes; environment; develop-
ment; behavior genetics
The nature-nurture debate is
over. The bottom line is that every-
thing is heritable, an outcome that
has taken all sides of the nature-
nurture debate by surprise. Irving
Gottesman and I have suggested
that the universal influence of
genes on behavior be enshrined as
the first law of behavior genetics
(Turkheimer & Gottesman, 1991),
and at the risk of naming laws that
I can take no credit for discovering,
it is worth stating the nearly unani-
mous results of behavior genetics
in a more formal manner.
c First Law. All human behavioral
traits are heritable.
c Second Law. The effect of being
raised in the same family is
smaller than the effect of genes.
c Third Law. A substantial portion
of the variation in complex hu-
man behavioral traits is not ac-
counted for by the effects of
genes or families.
It is not my purpose in this brief
article to defend these three laws
against the many exceptions that
might be claimed. The point is that
now that the empirical facts are in
and no longer a matter of serious
controversy, it is time to turn atten-
tion to what the three laws mean,
to the implications of the genetics
of behavior for an understanding
of complex human behavior and its
development.
VARIANCE AND
CAUSATION IN
BEHAVIORAL
DEVELOPMENT
If the first two laws are taken lit-
erally, they seem to herald a great
victory for the nature side of the
old debate: Genes matter, families
do not. To understand why such
views are at best an oversimplifica-
tion of a complex reality, it is nec-
essary to consider the newest wave
of opposition that behavior genet-
ics has generated. These new crit-
ics, whose most articulate spokes-
man is Gilbert Gottlieb (1991, 1992,
1995), claim that the goal of devel-
opmental psychology is to specify
the actual developmental processes
that lead to complex outcomes. In
lower animals, whose breeding
and environment can be brought
under the control of the scientist, it
is possible to document such devel-
opmental processes in exquisite de-
tail. The critics draw an unfavor-

Nature, Nurture, and Development: From Evangelism through
Science toward Policy and Practice
Michael Rutter
During the second half of the 20th century there was an immense increase in both empirical findings on, and
conceptual understanding of, the effects of nature, nurture, and developmental processes on psychological
functioning—both normal and abnormal. Unfortunately, the good science has also been accompanied by ex-
cessive polarizing claims and by unwarranted extrapolations. This article provides a summary review of the
real gains in knowledge, outlines some of the misleading claims, and notes the potential for research and for
science-led improvements in policies and practice. The need to bring about a better interpretation of genetic,
psychosocial, and developmental research strategies and theoretical concepts is emphasized.
INTRODUCTION
Over the last half century, there has been an explosion
of knowledge on the effects of nature, nurture, and
developmental processes. As a result, we have a much
improved understanding of many of the mechanisms
involved in normal and abnormal development,
which carries with it a huge potential for improving
children’s lives. Unfortunately, these advances have
been accompanied by as much misleading scientific
evangelism and journalistic hype as by good science
and honest reporting. As a consequence, both the pages
of scientific journals and the media have been full of the
most absurd confrontations and polarizations. These
have given rise to an unhelpful level of misunder-
standing of the true scientific advances and, more es-
pecially, about their meaning and the implications for
policy and practice. Of course, there have also been
numerous examples of good reporting by scientists
and by journalists. There is every reason to be in-
debted to both. The need is to avoid the twin dangers
of destructive cynicism and gullible expectation.
Nature, nurture, and development are dealt with
in this article as separate topics (with the focus being
mainly on their effects on psychopathology). In each
case, the real advances in knowledge are considered
first, some of the misleading claims are outlined sec-
ond, and the potential for research and for improve-
ments in policies and practice are noted third. Al-
though these are considered as supposedly separate
influences, the truth is that they are closely inter-
twined. The separation is heuristically useful for test-
ing causal hypotheses, but it is crucial that such hy-
potheses deal with the different forms of interplay
that may be occurring. To a considerable extent, it is
the failure to do so that has led to many of the polar-
izing battles and absurd claims.

Where Is the Child's Environment? A Group Socialization
Theory of Development
Judith Rich Harris
Middletown, New Jersey
Do parents have any important long-term effects on the development of their child's personality?
This article examines the evidence and concludes that the answer is no. A new theory of development
is proposed: that socialization is context-specific and that outside-the-home socialization takes place
in the peer groups of childhood and adolescence. Intra- and intergroup processes, not dyadic rela-
tionships, are responsible for the transmission of culture and for environmental modification of
children's personality characteristics. The universality of children's groups explains why develop-
ment is not derailed by the wide variations in parental behavior found within and between societies.
In 1983, after many dozens of pages spent reviewing the liter-
ature on the effects parents have on children, Eleanor Maccoby
and John Martin paused for a critical overview of the field of
socialization research. They questioned the size and robustness
of the effects they had just summarized; they wondered whether
the number of significant correlations was greater than that ex-
pected by chance. They cited other research indicating that bi-
ological or adoptive siblings do not develop similar personalities
as a result of being reared in the same household. This was their
conclusion:
These findings imply strongly that there is very little impact of the
physical environment that parents provide for children and very
little impact of parental characteristics that must be essentially the
same for all children in a family . . . Indeed, the implications are
either that parental behaviors have no effect, or that the only
effective aspects of parenting must vary greatly from one child to
another within the same family. (Maccoby & Martin, 1983, p. 82)
Since 1983, many developmental psychologists have focused
on the second of Maccoby and Martin's two possible implica-
tions, "that the only effective aspects of parenting must vary
greatly from one child to another." The other possibility, "that
parental behaviors have no effect," has never been considered as
a serious alternative.
This article examines both alternatives. I begin by showing
why "must vary greatly from one child to another" cannot ex-
plain the results that puzzled Maccoby and Martin. Then I con-
sider the possibility "that parental behaviors have no effect."
The conclusion reached is that, within the range of families that
have been studied, parental behaviors have no effect on the psy-
chological characteristics their children will have as adults. To

Unfortunately, the nature-versus-nurture debate continues in criminology. Over the
past 5 years, the number of heritability studies in criminology has surged. These studies
invariably report sizeable heritability estimates (∼50 percent) and minimal effects of
the so-called shared environment for crime and related outcomes. Reports of such high
heritabilities for such complex social behaviors are surprising, and findings indicat-
ing negligible shared environmental influences (usually interpreted to include parent-
ing and community factors) seem implausible given extensive criminological research
demonstrating their significance. Importantly, however, the models on which these es-
timates are based have fatal flaws for complex social behaviors such as crime. More-
over, the goal of heritability studies—partitioning the effects of nature and nurture—is
misguided given the bidirectional, interactional relationship among genes, cells, organ-
isms, and environments. This study provides a critique of heritability study methods
and assumptions to illuminate the dubious foundations of heritability estimates and
questions the rationale and utility of partitioning genetic and environmental effects.
After critiquing the major models, we call for an end to heritability studies. We then
present what we perceive to be a more useful biosocial research agenda that is conso-
nant with and informed by recent advances in our understanding of gene function and
developmental plasticity.
Questions about nature versus nurture have been a perennial topic of debate in the
social sciences. Since the 1970s, these questions have been addressed by a field of study
known as behavioral genetics. A major focus of behavioral genetics research has been to
partition the variation in an outcome of interest into a proportion caused by genes (her-
itability) and a proportion caused by the environment (e.g., DiLalla, 2004; Plomin et al.,
2012). These heritability studies (also called quantitative genetics, nonmolecular genetics,

Nature-Nurture (Heredity vs environment) Backgro.docxdohertyjoetta
Nature-Nurture
(Heredity vs environment)
Background
It has long been known that certain physical characteristics are biologically determined by
genetic inheritance. Colour of eyes, straight or curly hair, pigmentation of the skin and certain
diseases (such as Huntingdon’s chorea) are all a function of the genes we inherit. Other physical
characteristics, if not determined, appear to be at least strongly influenced by the genetic make-
up of our biological parents. Height, weight, hair loss (in men), life expectancy and vulnerability
to specific illnesses (e.g. breast cancer in women) are positively correlated between biologically
related individuals. These facts have led many to speculate as to whether psychological
characteristics such as behavioural tendencies, personality attributes and mental abilities are also
“wired in” before we are even born.
Those who adopt an extreme heredity position are known as nativists. Their basic assumption is
that the characteristics of the human species as a whole are a product of evolution and that
individual differences are due to each person’s unique genetic code. Characteristics and
differences that are not observable at birth, but which emerge later in life, are regarded as the
product of maturation. That is to say we all have an inner “biological clock” which switches on
(or off) types of behaviour in a pre programmed way. The classic example of the way this affects
our physical development is the bodily changes that occur in early adolescence at puberty.
However nativists also argue that maturation governs the emergence of attachment in infancy,
language acquisition and even cognitive development as a whole.
At the other end of the spectrum are the environmentalists – also known as empiricists (not to be
confused with the other empirical / scientific approach). Their basic assumption is that at birth
the human mind is a tabula rasa (a blank slate) and that this is gradually “filled” as a result of
experience (e.g. behaviourism). From this point of view psychological characteristics and
behavioural differences that emerge through infancy and childhood are the result of learning. It is
how you are brought up (nurture) that governs the psychologically significant aspects of child
development and the concept of maturation applies only to the biological. So, when an infant
forms an attachment it is responding to the love and attention it has received, language comes
from imitating the speech of others and cognitive development depends on the degree of
stimulation in the environment and, more broadly, on the civilisation within which the child is
reared.
In practice hardly anyone today accepts either of the extreme positions. There are simply too
many “facts” on both sides of the argument which are inconsistent with an “all or nothing” view.
So instead of asking whether child development is down to nature or nurture the question has
been reformulated as .

Epigenetics of the Developing Brain
Frances A. Cham pagne
Columbia University
ABSTRACT
Advances in understanding of the dynamic molecular interplay between DNA and its
surrounding proteins suggest that epigenetic mechanisms are a critical link between early
life experiences (e.g., prenatal stress, parent-offspring interactions) and long-term changes
in brain and behavior. Although much of this evidence comes from animal studies, there
is increasing converging evidence of these epigenetic processes in humans. These new
insights into epigenetic pathways highlight the integration of nature and nurture during
development and the potential for heritable changes that persist across generations.
E
arly experiences create the foundations of individual
differences and how each person interacts with the world.
Though debate about the relative contributions of nature
versus nurture to personality, behavior, and risk of disease has
dominated discussions within psychology, biology, and neurosci
ence, the science is now poised to move beyond this dichotomy.
Advances in molecular biology have provided insights into both
nature and nurture and suggest that development is a process
involving complex interactions between these two inseparable
factors. This newfound understanding of gene-environment
interplay has significant implications for conceptualizations
o f the developing brain. Even before birth, brains are chang
ing and refining in response to experiences. At first, these are
shared experiences between the mother and fetus, and there is a
growing sense that what a mother eats, drinks, or breathes and
certainly how she feels during pregnancy can affect the fetus.
This sensitivity to the environment continues from birth into
childhood and beyond. Both the sensory and the social world
around a developing child can have a lasting impact on the
brain. The question raised by this phenomenon of developmen
tal and neural plasticity is regarding mechanism: How does this
dynamic process take place? Answering this question unites both
the classic notions of nature versus nurture with the new and
emerging science of epigenetics.
From Genetics to Epigenetics
Each human’s genetic make-up is predictive of both physical
and psychological characteristics, and the current ability to
sequence genomes and provide individuals with a detailed
description o f their DNA is truly astounding. In experimental
studies in animals, manipulating DNA, even a single gene, can
have profound consequences. However, exclusive focus on genetic
make-up as an account of an individual’s identity has always
been at odds with the sense that environments, particularly those
experienced during childhood, shape development. Moreover,
decades o f research has confirmed that “nurture” in the very broad
sense, consisting of sensory, social, nutritional, and toxicological
experiences, has a profound effect on brain function and behavior.

Running head: EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY VIEW ON VIOLENCE 1
EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY VIEW ON VIOLENCE 9
Evolutionary Psychology’s View on Violence
LaRoya Mitchell
Saint Leo University
Evolutionary Psychology View on Violence
For centuries the issue of human violence has been a matter of concern and intense debate. Due to technical limitations as well as dominant scientific perspectives, several studies on violence in the 20th century, focused on family and sociocultural determinants of violence. However, recent studies connect violent behaviors with evolutionary, biological as well as genetic factors. According to Ferguson and Beaver the world health organization defines violence as “the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation.” (Ferguson & Beaver, 2009, p287). To a large extent, this clearly defines violence. It is also important to note that some violent acts are positive and as such adaptive. Legally, an individual is allowed to act violently in self-defense or in defense of his or her family and culture. Extreme violence, on the other hand, relates to violent actions in which risks are greater than the potential benefits. The risks involved, whether of personal injury or on an individual’s social esteem outweigh the anticipated positive outcomes. Extreme violence, therefore, amounts to criminal violence (Ferguson & Beaver, 2009).
Biologists contend that natural selection rather than mutation is the predominant force behind gene selection and the genetics of populations. It simply implies that organisms are more likely to pass down genes that provide them with selective advantage for the future generations. Even though natural selection happens at individual levels, for particular species facing similar selective challenges, the outcome is generally based on physical features as well as behavior; however, there are some differences among individuals (Ferguson & Beaver, 2009). Moreover, environmental diversity causes behavioral variations among human beings in what is referred to as culture. Although violence levels may vary across different cultures, it is present among all human species. Archeological studies on pre historical cultural aspect of man reveal application of violence among different cultures (McCall & Shields, 2008).
The evolutionary perspective of psychology is a scientific observation that seeks for a vivid comprehension of human nature, that is, the evolution mechanism of human’s mind.

Variation exists in virtually all parts of our lives. We often see variation in results in what we spend (utility costs each month, food costs, business supplies, etc.). Consider the measures and data you use (in either your personal or job activities). When are differences (between one time period and another, between different production lines, etc.) between average or actual results important? How can you or your department decide whether or not the observed differences over time are important? How could using a mean difference test help?

Valerie Matsumoto's "Desperately Seeking "Deirde": Gender Roles, Multicultural Relations, and Nisei Women Writers of the 1930s," focuses on the writings of Deirde, a second generation Japanese American advice columnist. But as the abstract of this piece suggests, Matsumoto was not so much interested in the advice Deirde was giving her readers as much as she was interested in the questions her readers were asking the "Dear Abby"of their community in the mid-1930s to early 1940s. What were they asking about? From Deidre's columns, what were some of the concerns of the Japanese-American community during 1935-1941? While it is of extreme importance to study the experience of the Japanese-Americans during World War II , Matsumoto argues that it is also of importance to study the pre-war lives of Japanese-Americans. Why? What did these concerns reveal about the Japanese-American experience in the United States during this time period?

Nature-Nurture
(Heredity vs environment)
Background
It has long been known that certain physical characteristics are biologically determined by
genetic inheritance. Colour of eyes, straight or curly hair, pigmentation of the skin and certain
diseases (such as Huntingdon’s chorea) are all a function of the genes we inherit. Other physical
characteristics, if not determined, appear to be at least strongly influenced by the genetic make-
up of our biological parents. Height, weight, hair loss (in men), life expectancy and vulnerability
to specific illnesses (e.g. breast cancer in women) are positively correlated between biologically
related individuals. These facts have led many to speculate as to whether psychological
characteristics such as behavioural tendencies, personality attributes and mental abilities are also
“wired in” before we are even born.
Those who adopt an extreme heredity position are known as nativists. Their basic assumption is
that the characteristics of the human species as a whole are a product of evolution and that
individual differences are due to each person’s unique genetic code. Characteristics and
differences that are not observable at birth, but which emerge later in life, are regarded as the
product of maturation. That is to say we all have an inner “biological clock” which switches on
(or off) types of behaviour in a pre programmed way. The classic example of the way this affects
our physical development is the bodily changes that occur in early adolescence at puberty.
However nativists also argue that maturation governs the emergence of attachment in infancy,
language acquisition and even cognitive development as a whole.
At the other end of the spectrum are the environmentalists – also known as empiricists (not to be
confused with the other empirical / scientific approach). Their basic assumption is that at birth
the human mind is a tabula rasa (a blank slate) and that this is gradually “filled” as a result of
experience (e.g. behaviourism). From this point of view psychological characteristics and
behavioural differences that emerge through infancy and childhood are the result of learning. It is
how you are brought up (nurture) that governs the psychologically significant aspects of child
development and the concept of maturation applies only to the biological. So, when an infant
forms an attachment it is responding to the love and attention it has received, language comes
from imitating the speech of others and cognitive development depends on the degree of
stimulation in the environment and, more broadly, on the civilisation within which the child is
reared.
In practice hardly anyone today accepts either of the extreme positions. There are simply too
many “facts” on both sides of the argument which are inconsistent with an “all or nothing” view.
So instead of asking whether child development is down to nature or nurture the question has
been reformulated as .

Epigenetics of the Developing BrainFrances A. Cham pagne .docxSALU18
Epigenetics of the Developing Brain
Frances A. Cham pagne
Columbia University
ABSTRACT
Advances in understanding of the dynamic molecular interplay between DNA and its
surrounding proteins suggest that epigenetic mechanisms are a critical link between early
life experiences (e.g., prenatal stress, parent-offspring interactions) and long-term changes
in brain and behavior. Although much of this evidence comes from animal studies, there
is increasing converging evidence of these epigenetic processes in humans. These new
insights into epigenetic pathways highlight the integration of nature and nurture during
development and the potential for heritable changes that persist across generations.
E
arly experiences create the foundations of individual
differences and how each person interacts with the world.
Though debate about the relative contributions of nature
versus nurture to personality, behavior, and risk of disease has
dominated discussions within psychology, biology, and neurosci
ence, the science is now poised to move beyond this dichotomy.
Advances in molecular biology have provided insights into both
nature and nurture and suggest that development is a process
involving complex interactions between these two inseparable
factors. This newfound understanding of gene-environment
interplay has significant implications for conceptualizations
o f the developing brain. Even before birth, brains are chang
ing and refining in response to experiences. At first, these are
shared experiences between the mother and fetus, and there is a
growing sense that what a mother eats, drinks, or breathes and
certainly how she feels during pregnancy can affect the fetus.
This sensitivity to the environment continues from birth into
childhood and beyond. Both the sensory and the social world
around a developing child can have a lasting impact on the
brain. The question raised by this phenomenon of developmen
tal and neural plasticity is regarding mechanism: How does this
dynamic process take place? Answering this question unites both
the classic notions of nature versus nurture with the new and
emerging science of epigenetics.
From Genetics to Epigenetics
Each human’s genetic make-up is predictive of both physical
and psychological characteristics, and the current ability to
sequence genomes and provide individuals with a detailed
description o f their DNA is truly astounding. In experimental
studies in animals, manipulating DNA, even a single gene, can
have profound consequences. However, exclusive focus on genetic
make-up as an account of an individual’s identity has always
been at odds with the sense that environments, particularly those
experienced during childhood, shape development. Moreover,
decades o f research has confirmed that “nurture” in the very broad
sense, consisting of sensory, social, nutritional, and toxicological
experiences, has a profound effect on brain function and behavior.

Running head: EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY VIEW ON VIOLENCE 1
EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY VIEW ON VIOLENCE 9
Evolutionary Psychology’s View on Violence
LaRoya Mitchell
Saint Leo University
Evolutionary Psychology View on Violence
For centuries the issue of human violence has been a matter of concern and intense debate. Due to technical limitations as well as dominant scientific perspectives, several studies on violence in the 20th century, focused on family and sociocultural determinants of violence. However, recent studies connect violent behaviors with evolutionary, biological as well as genetic factors. According to Ferguson and Beaver the world health organization defines violence as “the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation.” (Ferguson & Beaver, 2009, p287). To a large extent, this clearly defines violence. It is also important to note that some violent acts are positive and as such adaptive. Legally, an individual is allowed to act violently in self-defense or in defense of his or her family and culture. Extreme violence, on the other hand, relates to violent actions in which risks are greater than the potential benefits. The risks involved, whether of personal injury or on an individual’s social esteem outweigh the anticipated positive outcomes. Extreme violence, therefore, amounts to criminal violence (Ferguson & Beaver, 2009).
Biologists contend that natural selection rather than mutation is the predominant force behind gene selection and the genetics of populations. It simply implies that organisms are more likely to pass down genes that provide them with selective advantage for the future generations. Even though natural selection happens at individual levels, for particular species facing similar selective challenges, the outcome is generally based on physical features as well as behavior; however, there are some differences among individuals (Ferguson & Beaver, 2009). Moreover, environmental diversity causes behavioral variations among human beings in what is referred to as culture. Although violence levels may vary across different cultures, it is present among all human species. Archeological studies on pre historical cultural aspect of man reveal application of violence among different cultures (McCall & Shields, 2008).
The evolutionary perspective of psychology is a scientific observation that seeks for a vivid comprehension of human nature, that is, the evolution mechanism of human’s mind. Although it was established for use in psychological sciences and not practical use, its insights have extensively been used to practically solve societal problems.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

AbstractBehavior genetics has dem-onstrated that genetic.docx
1. Abstract
Behavior genetics has dem-
onstrated that genetic variance
is an important component of
variation for all behavioral out-
comes, but variation among
families is not. These results
have led some critics of behav-
ior genetics to conclude that
heritability is so ubiquitous as
to have few consequences for
scientific understanding of de-
velopment, while some be-
havior genetic partisans have
concluded that family environ-
ment is not an important cause
of developmental outcomes.
Both views are incorrect. Geno-
type is in fact a more system-
atic source of variability than
environment, but for reasons
that are methodological rather
than substantive. Development
is fundamentally nonlinear,
interactive, and difficult to con-
trol experimentally. Twin stud-
ies offer a useful methodologi-
cal shortcut, but do not show
that genes are more fundamen-
tal than environments.
2. Keywords
genes; environment; develop-
ment; behavior genetics
The nature-nurture debate is
over. The bottom line is that every-
thing is heritable, an outcome that
has taken all sides of the nature-
nurture debate by surprise. Irving
Gottesman and I have suggested
that the universal influence of
genes on behavior be enshrined as
the first law of behavior genetics
(Turkheimer & Gottesman, 1991),
and at the risk of naming laws that
I can take no credit for discovering,
it is worth stating the nearly unani-
mous results of behavior genetics
in a more formal manner.
c First Law. All human behavioral
traits are heritable.
c Second Law. The effect of being
raised in the same family is
smaller than the effect of genes.
c Third Law. A substantial portion
of the variation in complex hu-
man behavioral traits is not ac-
counted for by the effects of
genes or families.
It is not my purpose in this brief
article to defend these three laws
against the many exceptions that
3. might be claimed. The point is that
now that the empirical facts are in
and no longer a matter of serious
controversy, it is time to turn atten-
tion to what the three laws mean,
to the implications of the genetics
of behavior for an understanding
of complex human behavior and its
development.
VARIANCE AND
CAUSATION IN
BEHAVIORAL
DEVELOPMENT
If the first two laws are taken lit-
erally, they seem to herald a great
victory for the nature side of the
old debate: Genes matter, families
do not. To understand why such
views are at best an oversimplifica-
tion of a complex reality, it is nec-
essary to consider the newest wave
of opposition that behavior genet-
ics has generated. These new crit-
ics, whose most articulate spokes-
man is Gilbert Gottlieb (1991, 1992,
1995), claim that the goal of devel-
opmental psychology is to specify
the actual developmental processes
that lead to complex outcomes. In
lower animals, whose breeding
and environment can be brought
under the control of the scientist, it
4. is possible to document such devel-
opmental processes in exquisite de-
tail. The critics draw an unfavor-
able comparison between these
detailed animal studies and twin
studies of behavior genetics, which
produce only statistical conclu-
sions about the relative importance
of genes and environment in devel-
opment.
The greatest virtue of the new
challenge is that it abandons the
Three Laws of Behavior Genetics and
What They Mean

implausible environmentalist con-
tention that important aspects of
behavior will be without genetic
influence. Gottlieb (1992) stated,
“The present . . . viewpoint holds
that genes are an inextricable com-
ponent of any developmental sys-
tem, and thus genes are involved in
all traits” (p. 147). Unlike earlier
critics who deplored the reduction-
5. ism they attributed to behavior
genetic theories of behavior, the
developmental biologists take be-
havior genetics to task for not be-
ing mechanistic enough. Once vili-
fied as the paragon of determinist
accounts of human behavior, be-
havior genetics is now chastised for
offering vague and inconclusive
models of development (Gottlieb,
1995; Turkheimer, Goldsmith, &
Gottesman, 1995), and judged by
the standards of developmental
psychobiology in lower animals, it
is true enough that behavior ge-
netic theories of complex human
behavior seem woefully poorly
specified. But ultimately the charge
is unfair, because there is no
equivalent in developmental psy-
chobiology to the behavior genetic
study of marital status or school
performance. The great preponder-
ance of the exquisite experimental
science that goes into animal psy-
chobiology is quite simply impos-
sible to conduct in humans.
Human developmental social
science is difficult—equally so for
the genetically and environmen-
tally inclined—because of the
(methodologically vexing, human-
istically pleasing) confluence of
t w o c o n d i t i o n s : ( a ) B e h a v i o r
6. emerges out of complex, nonlinear
developmental processes, and (b)
ethical considerations prevent us
from bringing most human de-
velopmental processes under effec-
tive experimental control. Figure 1
is a schematic illustration of the
problem. Individual genes (Genes
1, 2, and 3) and their environments
(which include other genes) inter-
act to initiate a complex develop-
mental process that determines
adult personality. Most characteris-
tic of this process is its interactivity:
Subsequent environments to which
the organism is exposed depend on
its earlier states, and each new en-
vironment changes the develop-
mental trajectory, which affects fu-
ture expression of genes, and so
forth. Everything is interactive, in
the sense that no arrows proceed
uninterrupted from cause to effect;
any individual gene or environ-
mental event produces an effect
only by interacting with other
genes and environments.
For the behavior geneticist,
Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of contrasting roles of genes and
environment in development of personality. One-headed arrows
link
causes to effects; two-headed arrows indicate correlations.
Genes and environments are both causal inputs into an
8. behavior. How similar was my
rearing environment to that of my
siblings? And how similar was it to
the environment of my adopted
sibling, if I have one, or to the en-
vironment of my biological sibling
who was raised by someone else?
The apparent victory of nature
over nurture suggested by the first
two laws is thus seen to be more
methodological than substantive.
In a world in which there were oc-
casional occurrences of “identical
environmental twins,” whose ex-
periences were exactly the same,
moment by moment, and another
variety who shared exactly (but
randomly) 50% of their experi-
ences, environmentalists could re-
produce the precision of their ri-
v a l s , a n d l i k e t h e b e h a v i o r
geneticists could measure with
great precision the total contribu-
tion of the environment while
knowing almost nothing about the
developmental processes that un-
derlie it.
The old-fashioned nature-nur-
ture debate was about whether or
not genes influence complex be-
havioral outcomes, and that ques-
tion has been decisively answered
in the affirmative. The new ques-
tion is how we can proceed from
9. partitioning sources of variance to
specifying concrete developmental
processes (Turkheimer, 1998), and
although critics like Gottlieb are
correct that heritability per se has
few implications for a scientific un-
derstanding of development, they
have failed to emphasize two cru-
cial points. First, heritability does
have one certain consequence: It is
no longer possible to interpret cor-
relations among biologically re-
lated family members as prima fa-
cie evidence of sociocultural causal
mechanisms. If the children of de-
pressed mothers grow up to be de-
pressed themselves, it does not
necessarily demonstrate that being
raised by a depressed mother is it-
self depressing. The children might
have grown up equally depressed
if they had been adopted and
raised by different mothers, under
the influence of their biological
mother’s genes. For every behavior
geneticist who continues to report
moderate heritabilities as though
they were news, there is an envi-
ronmentalist who reports causally
ambiguous correlations between
genetically related parents and
children. Second, the problem the
critics have uncovered extends
well beyond behavior genetics: It is
a rare environmentalist who has
never used statistical methods to
10. predict behavioral outcomes from
earlier events, in the hope that the
specific developmental mecha-
nisms can be filled in later. The dis-
connect between the analysis of
variance and the analysis of causes,
to use Lewontin’s (1974) phrase, is
not a proprietary flaw in behavior
genetic methodology; in fact, it is
the bedrock methodological prob-
lem of contemporary social science.
NONSHARED
ENVIRONMENT AND THE
GLOOMY PROSPECT
Even after the effects of genes
and the shared effects of families
have been accounted for, around
50% of the differences among sib-
lings is left unexplained. In recent
years, scientists interested in the
genetics of behavior have come to
call this unexplained portion the
“nonshared environment.” Al-
though according to the second
law shared environment accounts
for a small proportion of the vari-
ability in behavioral outcomes, ac-
cording to the third law, nonshared
environment usually accounts for a
substantial portion. So perhaps the
appropriate conclusion is not so
much that the family environment
11. does not matter for development,
but rather that the part of the fam-
ily environment that is shared by
siblings does not matter. What
does matter is the individual envi-
ronments of children, their peers,
and the aspects of their parenting
that they do not share. Plomin and
Daniels (1987) reviewed evidence
of the predominance of nonshared
environmental variance and posed
a seminal question: Why are chil-
dren in the same family so differ-
ent? They proposed that siblings
are different because nonshared
environmental events are more
potent causes of developmental
outcomes than the shared environ-
mental variables, like socioeco-
nomic status, that have formed the
traditional basis of sociocultural
developmental psychology.
Plomin and Daniels’s explana-
tion involves a subtle conceptual
shift, best described in terms of a
distinction between the objective
and effective environment (Gold-
smith, 1993; Turkheimer & Wal-
dron, 2000). What qualifies an en-
vironmental event as nonshared?
There are two possibilities. The
first is objective: An event is non-
shared if it is experienced by only
one sibling in a family, regardless
of the consequences it produces.
12. The other possibility is effective:
An environmental event is non-
shared if it makes siblings different
162 VOLUME 9, NUMBER 5, OCTOBER 2000
Published by Blackwell Publishers Inc.
rather than similar, regardless of
whether it was experienced by one
or both of them. Plomin and
Daniels’s proposal, then, is that the
nonshared environment as an ef-
fectively defined variance compo-
nent can be explained by objec-
tively nonshared environmental
events. The question, “Why are
children in the same family so dif-
ferent?” is answered, “Because
measurable differences in their en-
vironments make them that way.”
This proposal has been enor-
mously influential, spawning an
entire area of empirical inquiry into
the consequences of measured en-
vironmental differences among
siblings. Ironically, that same lit-
erature has quite decisively dem-
onstrated that the conjecture is
false. A review of 43 studies that
measured differences in the envi-
ronments of siblings and related
them to differences in the siblings’
13. developmental outcomes (Turk-
heimer & Waldron, 2000) has
shown that although upwards of
50% of the variance in behavioral
outcomes is accounted for by the
effectively defined variance com-
ponent called nonshared environ-
ment, the median percentage ac-
counted for by objectively defined
nonshared events is less than 2%.
What could be going on?
Plomin and Daniels (1987) al-
most identified the answer to this
question, but dismissed it as too
pessimistic:
One gloomy prospect is that the salient
environment might be unsystematic,
idiosyncratic, or serendipitous events
such as accidents, illnesses, or other
traumas . . . . Such capricious events,
however, are likely to prove a dead end
for research. More interesting heuristi-
cally are possible systematic sources of
differences between families. (p. 8)
The gloomy prospect is true. Non-
shared environmental variability
predominates not because of the
systematic effects of environmental
events that are not shared among
siblings, but rather because of the
unsystematic effects of all environ-
mental events, compounded by the
14. equally unsystematic processes
that expose us to environmental
events in the first place (Turk-
heimer & Gottesman, 1996).
A model of nonshared variabil-
ity based on the gloomy prospect is
radically different from the Plomin
model based on systematic conse-
quences of environmental differ-
ences among siblings. Most impor-
tant, the two models suggest very
different prospects for a genetically
informed developmental psychol-
ogy. Again and again, Plomin and
his colleagues have emphasized
that the importance of nonshared
environment implies that it is time
to abandon shared environmental
variables as possible explanations
of developmental outcomes. And
although modern environmental-
ists might not miss coarse mea-
sures like socioeconomic status, it
is quite another thing to give up on
the causal efficaciousness of nor-
mal families, as Scarr (1992), Rowe
(1994), and Harris (1998) have
urged. If, however, nonshared en-
vironmental variability in outcome
is the result of the unsystematic
consequences of both shared and
nonshared environmental events,
the field faces formidable method-
ological problems—Plomin and
Daniels’s gloomy prospect—but
15. need not conclude that aspects of
families children share with sib-
lings are of no causal importance.
CONCLUSION:
ANTICIPATING THE
GENOME PROJECT
It is now possible for behavior
genetics to move beyond statistical
analyses of differences between
identical and nonidentical twins
and identify individual genes that
are related to behavioral outcomes.
What should we expect from this
endeavor? Behavior geneticists an-
ticipate vindication: At long last,
statistical variance components
will be rooted in the actual causal
consequences of actual genes. Crit-
ics of behavior genetics expect the
opposite, pointing to the repeated
failures to replicate associations be-
tween genes and behavior as evi-
dence of the shaky theoretical un-
derpinnings of which they have so
long complained.
There is an interesting parallel
between the search for individual
genes that influence behavior and
the failed attempt to specify the
nonshared environment in terms of
measured environmental variables.
In each case, investigators began
16. with statistically reliable but caus-
ally vague sources of variance, and
set out to discover the actual causal
processes that produced them. The
quest for the nonshared environ-
ment, as we have seen, got stuck in
the gloomy prospect. Although in-
dividual environmental events in-
fluence outcomes in the most gen-
eral sense, they do not do so in a
systematic way. One can detect
their effects only by accumulating
them statistically, using twins or
adoptees.
If the underlying causal struc-
ture of human development is
highly complex, as illustrated in
Figure 1, the relatively simple sta-
tistical procedures employed by
developmental psychologists, ge-
neticists, and environmentalists
alike are being badly misapplied.
But misapplied statistical proce-
dures still produce what appear to
be results. Small relations would
still be found between predictors
and outcomes, but the underlying
complex causal processes would
cause the apparent results to be
small, and to change unpredictably
from one experiment to the next. So
individual investigators would ob-
tain “results,” which would then
fail to replicate and accumulate
into a coherent theory because the
18. Finally, it must be remembered
that the gloomy prospect is gloomy
only from the point of view of the
working social scientist. Although
frustrated developmental psy-
chologists may be tempted to favor
methodologically tractable heuris-
tics over chaotic psychological re-
ality, it is a devil’s choice: In the
long run, the gloomy prospect al-
ways wins, and no one would want
to live in a world where it did not.
Psychology is at least one good
paradigm shift away from an em-
pirical answer to the gloomy pros-
pect, but the philosophical re-
sponse is becoming clear: The
additive effect of genes may con-
stitute what is predictable about
human development, but what is
predictable about human develop-
ment is also what is least interest-
ing about it. The gloomy prospect
isn’t.

Abstract
Most organizations today rely on knowledge-based management
systems. Nevertheless, these systems derive knowledge from big
data analysis. Data
warehouses are the core components of knowledge-management
systems. The primary purpose of building a data warehouse is to
integrate multiple, independent,
and distributed data sources within an organization. The
historical data is used for analysis to support business decisions
at all levels ranging from strategic planning
to performance evaluation of a discrete organizational unit. All
these components are characterized by high volumes of data and
24. data flows that require continuous
analysis and mining. These applications, therefore, require data
warehousing and analysis. It also provides a platform for
advance and sophisticated data analysis. The
fact that big data deals with large amounts of the data, it is still
able to manage and uncover hidden patterns and correlations
that may be present. With big data, it is
possible to analyze enormous amounts of data and get the
outcome from it instantly –something that was not possible with
the traditional data handling methods.
Final Portfolio Project
We live in a contemporary world where technology is fast
outpacing our ideologies. Today, we see business intelligence
applications in electronic commerce,
telecommunications, and other industries. These applications,
therefore, require data warehousing and analysis. As such, this
paper provides a detailed analysis of
data warehousing and its main components, not forgetting its
modern trends. All these components are characterized by high
volumes of data and data flows that
require continuous analysis and mining. It also provides a
summary analysis of big data and, lastly, discusses the green
computing technology. Data Warehouse
Database
Data warehouse alludes to a data framework that involves
recorded and commutative information from single or various
sources. In simplifying, it plays a vital
part in the reporting and analysis processes of an organization
In other words it is a database containing data that usually
represent the business history of an
1
26. the foundation of the data warehousing environment and is
implemented on the RDBMS technology.
For consideration of scalability, it is deployed in corresponding.
The database additionally accommodates shared memory on
different multiprocessor designs. The
reports produced using complex queries inside an information
dissemination center are used to shape business decisions.
Sourcing, Acquisition, Clean-up and
Transformational Tools (ETL) ETL refers to a data integration
function that involves the extraction of data from the source,
assuring quality, and data cleaning to
deliver data in a physical format that can be useful for further
reference. Elimination of outdated or unwanted data in
operational databases from stacking into the
data warehouse is the essential function of the ETL. According
to Santoso (2017), the organization uses the ETL technology to
read data from the outside source, clean
it up, as well as format it uniformly to load it into a target data
warehouse. Metadata
Metadata, as the name suggests, refers to data that defines the
data warehouse. The data is utilized to maintain, build just as
deal with the data warehouse.
Metadata assumes a vital role in the Data Warehouse
architecture as it indicates the features of data warehouse data,
usage values, and source. Santos,
Martinho, and Costa (2017) also tell us that Metadata is closely
linked to the data warehouse and hence facilitates how data is
changed and processed. Therefore,
Metadata can be said to be a vital component in the
transformation of data into knowledge. Query Tools
As communicated previously, one of the principal goals of data
27. warehousing is to give valuable data to associations to make
strategic decisions. To interact with
the data warehouse system, query tools in this way gives an
effective platform for the users. The devices referenced here are
additionally isolated into four classes, to
be specific, data mining tools, Query and reporting tools,
application and development tools, as well as OLAP tools.
Every one of these tools is essential in permitting
clients to connect with the information stockroom framework.
To interact with the data warehouse system, every one of these
tools is essential in allowing the
users.

Data Warehouse Bus Architecture How data streams into a data
warehouse is decided by this component. The stream can be
classified as either inflow, outflow,
Meta flow, or upstream. In data marts, an IT manager must
think about all facts as well as shared dimensions to design a
data warehouse bus. Data marts refer to
access layers that are typically used to process user data to the
users (Santos et al., 2017). Current Key trends in data
28. warehousing
The modern world generates, uses, as well as retains useful data
for future usage. Since the global world is projected to continue
to grow for the foreseeable
future, it is approximated by 2026 that the world will generate
and replicate 165ZB of data. This will arise as a result of
increased use of computers in doing business;
hence data will need to be instantly available whenever
required. Since Data warehousing solutions came into play,
most big companies such as Google BigQuery,
Amazon, Panoply, and Redshift have all adopted the use of this
tool to manage their data. These organizations manage
partitioning as well as the scalability of a data
warehouse in a transparent manner. Data warehousing has made
it possible for enterprises to set up a petabyte-scale to hold up
all data safely without any
complexity. Nevertheless, the future looks a lot smarter because
working with a suitable data warehousing system has shown to
enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
Big Data
Big data refers to the massive collection of data that can be
analyzed computationally to extract useful information (Santos
et al., 2017). The fact that big data
deals with large amounts of the data, it is still able to manage
and uncover hidden patterns and correlations that may be
present. With big data, it is possible to
analyze enormous amounts of data and get the outcome from it
instantly –something that was not possible with the traditional
data handling methods. Big data
assists companies to harness their data more efficiently and use
it to identify new opportunities. The ability to work faster and
promptly has given these organizations
29. a competitive age they never had before. Moreover, as a result,
smarter business moves have been implemented that lead to
higher revenues as well as increased
levels of customer satisfaction. There are several significant
areas that I have detailed below where big data is currently
being applied to excel advantage in practice.
One of the most common areas where big data is used today is
understanding and targeting consumers. Organizations use big
data to understand consumer's
behavior and preferences. This is achieved through performing
data analysis to get a complete picture of their customers, and
after that, create predictive models. In
the United States, many companies have adopted the use of big
data to predict their clients' needs accurately. For instance,
Wal-Mart can predict what products
to sell, Telecom companies can predict their customer churn,
and car insurance companies understand perfectly how well
their clients drive their vehicles. Big data I
used in not only the business environment but also other
platforms. For example, in government elections where it is
widely believed that Obama's Presidential
victory in 2012 was primarily due to his campaign team's
superior ability in the use of big data. Big data is not only for
organizations use alone but for us to use as
well, and I am an example of myself as one of the beneficiaries
of big data. Through the help of smartwatches, I can collect data
activity levels, calorie consumption, as
well as sleep patterns, but the actual value is in the analysis of
the collected data. Through the study of the gathered data, I can
create entirely new ideas and develop
a healthy lifestyle. Green Computing
According to Sreenandana, Nair, and Aneesh (2020), the global
green IT services market is projected to reach more than 7
billion by 2025, to reflect an annual
30. growth rate of nearly 7 percent. The growth trend is primarily
attributed to green data center initiatives that are not only aimed
at reducing environmental pollution
but also in managing the ever-increasing energy costs. Several
factors play a significant role in loss and carbon footprint
reduction, and the major one includes
alternative green energy technologies. Assert that there are
several ways in which organizations can build and implement
green data center initiatives to maximize
efficiency and profits (Airehrour, Cherrington, Madanian &
Singh, 2019). The first step to achieving this include,
conducting a baseline energy audit to provide a real-
time assessment of usage and efficiency, and it will also be used
as a benchmark for evaluation to guide long term planning. This
is significant since data centers are
typically comprised of a variety of diverse systems. After the
full audit is accomplished, the next step would be to select
green friendly and environmental materials
such as renewable sources. The third way would be prioritizing
the reduction of data center power usage as this is critical in
lowering the amount of energy needed to
power the IT equipment.

31. The last step would be to build the green data center
infrastructure, and this would include eliminating all the
inefficiencies. Microsoft Corporation is an example
of an organization that has already implemented IT green
computing successfully. The company has tested the undersea
data center through its new research
initiative, known as Project Natick. The project has supposedly
reduced costs, enhanced environmental sustainability, as well as
accelerated deployment. The data
center is environment friendly because it does not consume
ocean water and runs on energy produced by the water’s
movement.

Data Warehouse, Big data, and Green computing, once defined,
show how they relate with each other. While Big data is a
collection of information, the data
warehouse is where all the collected data are stored to help in
decision making as well as support the organization’s needs.
Business trends are ever-changing, and
environmental needs must enhance the system that supports
them. Data is vital for organizations, and that is why managers
keep this critical resource effectively in
the data warehouse to make better decisions and gain
competitive advantage. Managers also have to keep track that
their business operations are environmental-
friendly to improve and optimize business processes.

Most organizations today rely on
knowledge-based management systems.
Nevertheless, these systems derive
knowledge from big data analysis. Data
warehouses are the core components of
knowledge-management systems. The
primary purpose of building a data

independent, and distributed data
sources within an organization.

reference. Elimination of outdated or
unwanted data in operational databases
from stacking into the data warehouse is
the essential function of the ETL.
According to Santoso (2017), the
organization uses the ETL technology to
