Only blamer here=@nytimes with a horrible headline. Education(≠blame)+compassion! Memetics+Genetics! reductionism=moot!
Almost as seriously as genetic reductionism, by far the dominant dogma, and far more bogus.
"Secure children get upset when their caregivers leave" My experience is the opposite - secure kids not afraid of parents leaving.
secured by caretaker vs. feels inherently secure vs. feels secure due to 'caretaker' leaving. 3 definitions. Pick one.
currently been noticing examples of things that are quite complex trying to be explained simplistically and losing the point
Like the genetic reductionism traps @sapinker sometimes falls for AND the memetic reductionism he does *rightfully* critizise?
Heritability studies are being falsified genetically though: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wcs.1400/pdf …
read "Evil Genes" by @barbaraoakley Or Fonagy's presentations. Who DOES very acknowledge genetics. Blame @nytimes for bad headline
You'd do *sharp* controls HOW? Perhaps @RichardDawkins should offer you a lesson on the difficulty separating genetics & memetics.
specifics might be bad, but tons of studies/real world experience show macro environment has huge effect on personality/behavior.

the only developmental psychologist I know spends her life fighting this crap. Taken seriously by who, the Times?
It's treating opinion, whether parental or offspring, as "data" that is the real problem. It's all subjective.
.@sapinker how would you control for this though? essentially twins separated at birth?
well, you do get your genes from them...
I had literally just seen this and wondered what you would think of it.
He is misrepresenting science, heritability studies are heavily contested: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wcs.1400/pdf …
