Adoption studies allow us to examine both genetic and environmental variables by comparing adopted individuals' traits to those of their adoptive families and also their biological families. This allows us to tease apart the influence of nature (genetics) versus nurture (environment) on our behavioral and psychological traits. parenting is not the only variable that can be examined with adoption studies.
