nature versus nurture debate
nature versus nurture debate The common description of the controversy over the relative importance of
heredity (nature) and
environment (nurture) in the causation of human behaviour. The debate has been particularly important in certain fields of sociology, including education (with a focus on the heritability of
intelligence),
crime (with, for instance, dispute over the idea of an inherited criminal personality), and
gender divisions (with heated debate over the importance of biology to observed differences in male—female behaviour).
