Psychogenetics

Psychogenetics is the study of how genetic factors influence psychological traits and behaviors, including personality, intelligence, and mental health. It explores the interplay between genes and the environment, helping to understand how hereditary factors contribute to individual differences in cognition and emotional functioning. Researchers investigate specific genes associated with psychological conditions and how these genes interact with life experiences to shape behavior. By examining the genetic basis of psychological traits, psychogenetics aims to enhance our understanding of human behavior and develop targeted interventions for mental health challenges.
