Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study of inherited traits related to behavior and personality would fall under the field of behavioral genetics, which specifically focuses on the relationship between genes and behavior. Analytical genetics and statistical genetics may also study inherited traits, but not necessarily related to behavior. Inferential statistics is a statistical method used to draw conclusions from data, and would not be directly involved in studying inherited traits.
