Great identical twins studies would be very interesting here.
And I agree due to the complexity of this, it's one of the most fascinating questions out there. How much and with what kind of likelihood I as a parent can influence my child?
Because due the complexity of it all, it sometimes also happens that bad parents providing bad environment and perhaps bad genes as well, get good children and vice versa. No one likes the ideas of this happening though as it dismisses the idea of responsibility, and no one likes the idea that they won't have 100% control over raising their children.
It would be great to know the exact odds, e.g. if you classified parents into different buckets, how often could it happen that with whatever rules that are perfect environment would it happen that children happen to grow up in a bucket where they aren't with desired characteristics.
Then sometimes identical twins who grow up with same parents, still become different personality wise. What exactly explains that? Is it that one of them just happens to take the leading role in their relationship and the other just balances and the difference between them snowballs because of the dynamic they just built with each other.
