"somewhat" regarded? They're strongly correlated to DNA expression.
Bolded: that's heavily debated and among the expertise it nowadays clearly leans towards inheritance playing the bigger part. At least in the medical field it does. And there's recent studies that strongly support this, studies that show that human happiness doesn't correlate very well at all with your circumstances, your social position or how lucky or unlucky you are in life, but is determined by your natural predisposition.

The researchers found that those who do not excessively worry and who are sociable and conscientious tend to be happier - and that these traits are as much as 50 per cent controlled by genetics, with external factors such as relationships, health and careers contributing to differences in happiness.
Look, 50% is determined by genetics. And 50% is environment.
Where's it say genes are the larger factor as you are clearly implying?
Happiness doesn't correlate with circumstances... are you serious? If I was living in the streets, I'd be miserable. If I was in a penthouse with $500 million in the bank, I'd be pretty damn happy.
Don't twist those facts when they're not saying what you're saying at all.

Don't put words into my mouth. I didn't say it doesn't. But relatively speaking happiness doesn't correlate well with circumstances, no.
Yeah, happiness correlates (in that study) to 50% with the environment, but I never said otherwise. I implied it though, the last sentence in that post was unlycky (Ill edit it). My main point was ti point to this stude to prove that the happiness hormones that lestatdark was talking about will have an even smaller correlation to the environment since I just proved that happiness, which is determined by so much more than just serotonine and dopamine, is no more than 50% determined by the environment.

"that's heavily debated and among the expertise it nowadays clearly leans towards inheritance playing the bigger part. At least in the medical field it does."
Forgive me, but you sorta said that genes>environment for happiness there.
|
No I didn't. Not for happiness, I said genes>environment for those hormones (the "happiness hormones").
I clearly addressed the bolded part of lestatdark's post:
"So while those traits can be somewhat regarded to DNA expression, the environment plays the larger role in controlling the levels of those hormones."

Well you said it was heavily debated, so who are you to judge for him taking the opposing side of the issue?
