correction to wellbeing and urban living Nurtured by nature
Urban Ecosystems, 2018Co-Authors: Lucy Taylor, Amy K Hahs, Dieter F HochuliAbstract:Table 3 contained an error in how the degrees of freedom are displayed. The comma separating the model (e.g., 1) and error (e.g., 121) has been deleted in the Auckland, Melbourne, and Sydney columns. Where the degrees of freedom should read “1,121”, for example, it displays as “1121”. The corrected table follows.

wellbeing and urban living Nurtured by nature
Urban Ecosystems, 2018Co-Authors: Lucy Taylor, Amy K Hahs, Dieter F HochuliAbstract:In recent decades, empirical evidence has demonstrated that nature can enable urban environments to support human wellbeing. Research into links between nature and human wellbeing is often carried out with one wellbeing index or in single locations, which can limit our understanding of findings. To further this work, we deployed an online survey to residents of the two most-populous cities in both Australia and New Zealand. The survey measured self-reported wellbeing via three indices used widely in the literature: general wellbeing (WHO-5), personal wellbeing, and psychological wellbeing. We compared results with two biodiversity indicators: bird species richness and the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) of respondents’ postcodes. We also asked respondents to rate the amount of nature they view from their immediate environment: both at home and at work or other frequent location. Our results support a link between local nature and human wellbeing across all four cities, significantly in the two Australian cities. Qualitative data reveals that urban life can challenge human wellbeing by creating a unique suite of stresses that residents strive to balance. There is the potential for nature to support human wellbeing in typically degraded urban environments. While this work corroborates existing literature demonstrating links between human wellbeing and nature, our qualitative research extends our understanding of these links by providing more detailed and nuanced information.

Beyond Nature versus Nurture
Genetics and Mental Illness, 1996Co-Authors: Robert PlominAbstract:Shakespeare first brought the words nature and nurture together in The Tempest, when Prospero describes Caliban as “a devil on whose nature nurture can never stick.” The idea of nature in conflict with nurture was the impetus for the alliterative phrase nature—nurture, used by Darwin’s cousin, Francis Galton (1865), more than a century ago. Galton argued that “there is no escape from the conclusion that nature prevails enormously over nurture” (1883, p. 241). Joining these two words created a fission that exploded into the longest-lived controversy in the behavioral sciences. The dash in nature—nurture connoted the implicit conjunction “versus.”

Quantitative genetics, molecular genetics, and intelligence
Intelligence, 1991Co-Authors: Robert Plomin, Jenae NeiderhiserAbstract:Contends that the growing acceptance of the conclusion that genetic influence on intelligence is significant is only the 1st chapter in the story of genetics and intelligence. Much remains to be learned about basic quantitative genetic issues: about nature (e.g., developmental and multivariate phenomena), about nurture (e.g., nonshared environment), and about the interface between nature and nurture (e.g., genetic influences on intelligence-related environmental measures). Molecular genetic techniques are discussed that may revolutionize quantitative genetic research on intelligence by identifying specific genes that contribute to genetic influence. {(PsycLIT)}

Nature versus Nurture
Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics, 2020Co-Authors: G.e. AllenAbstract:Nature and nurture refer to the two factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of form and function in organisms. In current discussions, this is also referred to as heredity and environment, or biological and cultural determinism, respectively. The recognition that both factors are involved in the normal development of any organism, and their juxtaposition as mutually exclusive, has given rise to the nature–nurture (or heredity–environment) debate from classical times to the present.
