Do you believe psychology is a science? Why or why not?

Heredity and environment interaction are contributors in development. There are genetic codes that are passed down from both parents to their child which make the child unique as they carry half of each parent’s genes. The environment surrounding a child also plays a factor on how the child develops. As mentioned by Santrock “The emerging view is that complex behaviors have some genetic loading that gives people a propensity for a particular development trajectory (Plomin, Defries, & Fulker 2007). However, the actual development requires more: an environment. Environmental influences range from the things we lump together under “nurture” (such as parenting, family dynamics, schooling, and neighborhood quality) to biological encounters (such as viruses, birth complications, and even biological events in cells) (Greenough & others 2004)” (p.48 2008). If the child is brought up with a nurturing family and environment, the child is more likely to follow in the same foot steps with his future family and will more than likely be friendlier. However if a child is brought up in a more hostile and negative environment, the child has many obstacles to overcome and the child may also reflect that negative up bringing out onto others.
