Environmental Influence - Parenting Blame on parents is often overstated Hindsight example in separated twin study – “Why are you so cleanly?” Parents DO matter – evidence is in the extremes Parenting amounts to less than 10% of personality differences

Environmental Influence - Peers Peer influence is STRONG Preschoolers will eat food around other kids that they will otherwise refuse to eat at home Children will adapt accents of peers of accents of their parents Teens who start smoking typically do so BECAUSE they have friends who model smoking… parental influence is not as important

Peer vs. Parent Influence Parents more strongly influence: Education Discipline Responsibility Orderliness Charitableness Ways of interacting with authority figures Peers more strongly influence: Learning cooperation Finding popularity Inventing styles of peer interaction Young people find peers more interesting, but look to parents when contemplating their own futures.

Environmental Influence Culture the behaviors, ideas, attitudes, and traditions shared by a group of people and transmitted through generations Norm an understood rule for accepted and expected behavior

Environmental Influence Personal Space the buffer zone we like to maintain around our bodies Memes self-replicating ideas, fashions, and innovations passed from person to person

Culture and Self Individualism – giving priority to one’s own goals over group goals and defining one’s identity in terms of personal attributes. Collectivism – giving priority to goals of one’s group (extended family, work group, etc) and defining one’s identity accordingly.
