Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The current evidence suggests that genetic influence and prenatal hormones play a significant role in determining an individual's sexual orientation. Several twin studies have shown that identical twins are more likely to have a matching sexual orientation than fraternal twins, suggesting a genetic influence. Furthermore, research has linked differences in prenatal hormone exposure to variations in sexual orientation. Environmental conditions after birth and modeling of sexual orientation by adults have been found to have limited influence on an individual's sexual orientation. Freud's view of parenting patterns has been widely debunked in modern psychology.
