The Genetic Disposition Model
The Genetic Disposition Model suggests that individuals have certain genes that influence their likelihood of developing specific traits or health conditions. These genetic factors can predispose someone to behaviors, mental health issues, or diseases, but they don't guarantee outcomes. Environment, experiences, and choices also play critical roles in whether these genetic tendencies become evident. Essentially, this model emphasizes that our genes can shape potential risks or characteristics, but actual development depends on a complex interaction between genetics and external factors.
