Nature Vs Nurture

from Cult Hackers Hosted by whatshouldithinkabout

Do some born-in cult members experience greater harm than others because they happen to have certain personality traits? Psychology suggests that we inherit at least some of our personality traits through our genes. What are the implications for people raised in a cult? How does the presence of certain traits affect how we respond to cult indoctrination? This week Celine and Stephen look at how we research and understand individual differences, how much of these differences are down to our genes or environment, what this means for personal agency and how different traits might mean some cult 'born-ins' have a much worse time than others.
