My Genes Made Me Do It!
At the place I had my genetic testing done, I have volunteered to help in research by answering a series of questions on occasion.
This last round had a few questions that, later, got me to thinking.
The questions were:
How easily do you lose your temper?
How impatient are you?
Our genes determine that? So I just did a cursory search online. Come to find out 20% of us have the (or is it an "a"?) alpha-2B adrenergic receptor that affects our sensitivity and emotions.
So yes, if I have this gene I can get mad quicker.
Of course environment, family background and life experiences also affect how we respond.
Lets say I grew up in a very calm, nurturing environment but I have this alpha-2B receptor. Then I would react to a stimulus way lower than a child with the same receptor who grew up in an abusive, lets say for example, alcoholic home.
So just how much can we blame on our genes?
