The biological approach to personality may be controversial for
some individuals for numerous reasons,
but one reason in particular is that it has become evident that personality
does not solely develop as a result of biological and genetic factors. The
environment or environmental influences also have a significant role in the
development of personality, and may have a greater role than biological and
genetic factors. Personality develops as a result of the interplay between
biology, genetics, and the social environment. Indeed, biological and genetic
factors influence personality; however, humans possess the capacity for
challenging and sometimes overcoming biological tendencies (Friedman &
Schustack, 2011). For instance, biological tendencies of aggressive behavior
can be overcome by means of environmental influences.
