Answer 3

Here are a few facts:

1. Our personality is shaped not only by our biology, but also by our environment and upbringing.

@GirlgoyleH.
You're right that we haven't isolated genes that determine personality, but again, it's about more than biology.

Here's a link that I just read:
http://www.nytimes.com/1986/12/02/science/major-personality-study-finds-that-traits-are-mostly-inherited.html)

It actually suggests that our DNA has an even greater effect on personality than we used to believe.

2. Our friends are a part of our environment. They do affect our personalities, and how we think and behave.

@GirlgoyleH.
I agree with your explanation. So, did you mean to say that #2 is False?

-----------

3. Your role models are people you admire. They say and do things that you agree with.

This can definitely affect the way that you think and behave.

You may also choose your role models BECAUSE of the way that you already think and behave.

-----------

4. Relationships DO affect the way that we see and feel about ourselves.

Healthy relationships make us feel loved and well cared for.

But try having a relationship with someone who repeatedly points out your flaws.
Soon enough, you'd see flaws in yourself too.

@GirlgoyleH.
I agree, and I would actually go as far to say "directly."

------------

5. Healthy relationships NEED compromise.

Have you ever heard of John Gottman?

He's a psychologist who spent a great part of his life studying relationships.
(I've read a couple of his books.)

Here's an interesting fact:
About 69% of all marital conflicts are NEVER RESOLVED.

What that means is that about 69% of the things that you and your partner disagree with...will NEVER be resolved.

This is actually normal!

This doesn't mean that you will always fight about those things.

But in order to avoid constantly fighting about the same things,
you DO need to compromise.

You DO need to agree that no two people are the same,
and that you can still love your husband/wife, despite your disagreements.
