Shared environmental events-arguments convincing

Reference no: EM13496914

According to recent research, shared environmental events (those things that children share while growing up in the same family) have a minimal impact on personality development. Rather, it seems that it is the unique things that happen to us that have the greatest impact on our resulting personality. As the class notes point out, some researchers in this area have argued that "being raised in the same family has nothing to do with personality!" Do you find these arguments convincing? Why/why not?
