Preferred term

psychology and genetics  

Definition

  • Psychology and socialization research examine the workings of the human mind and human behavior; genetics, as a branch of biology, examines the way in which traits and predispositions are transmitted from parents to their children as a result of genetic recombination. The relationship between psychology, in contrast, and biology and genetics, has never been easy. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Psychology and Genetics]
