Caspi et al 2003
"Caspi et al 2003" refers to a landmark study that investigated the interplay between genetics and environment in shaping human behavior. The study focused on the role of a specific gene variant in influencing individuals' susceptibility to stress and subsequent development of depression. The findings highlighted the complex interaction between genetic predisposition and life experiences in determining mental health outcomes.

...In epigenetic language, genetic expression (phenotype – behaviour) may be modulated by the environment. Therefore, the one-to-one gene-phenotype deterministic relation – a Mendelian causality, as, for example, in the case of eye colour – is replaced by a more complex interaction between biology and environment. For Beaver and Walsh: This approach is not a throwback to the outdated nature versus nurture debate. Instead, the biosocial perspective recognizes the exquisite complexity of human behaviour and thus focuses on the various ways in which biological/genetic factors interface with environmental factors to produce differing propensities for antisocial behaviours (2011: 5). The direct and deterministic relationship is also softened as research today embraces a broader causality, one comprised of risk factors, associations, and correlates. For example, Walsh explains that they are not working on crime, but on what is associated with antisocial behaviour. For example, sensation-seeking, egoism, are “traits that increase the probability of criminal behaviour, more so in some environments than in others” (2009: 9). Therefore, it is no surprise that correlation studies should continue to multiply, as the list of correlates of crime seems to be infinite (for example, Ellis, Beaver and Wright 2009). Repeatedly mentioned as reflective of this “paradigmatic shift” and as a staple of the GxE approach, the Caspi study, published in Science in 2002, rekindled the debate over the intergenerational cycle of violence. Their work amalgamates two research streams, one on the intergenerational transmission of violence, the other on the genetics of neurotransmission involving the Monoamine oxidase-A gene and aggressive behaviour...

...The development of more focused (family or person-oriented) prevention programmes for decreasing the risks of problem behaviour or psychopathology on the basis of individual genetic (or gene–environment) screening is a reality of the near future. Genetic factors that contribute to the risks or protect from the risks in specific adverse environments, once identified, will be used to design evidence-based psychological services and individualized educational programmes.

...These types of analyses have important implications for intervention research: By identifying interactions in which individuals with certain genetic propensities are affected differently by environmental factors, a new perspective for understanding environmental influences on individual development emerges. That is, if certain types of interactions can be attributed to specific behavioral and environmental measures, interventions can be directed at populations most likely to benefit.

...Investigating the impact of genetic and environmental influences on human development, and the processes involved in mediating these influences, poses perhaps the most fundamental question we can ask about human nature. The nature–nurture question continues to gamer attention, and with the swift progress of the Human Genome Project, interest in this issue will only grow. Historically, the intellectual battleground between hereditarians and environmentalists spanned a variety of academic disciplines, including psychology, sociology, and anthropology, along with professional realms such as education and medicine. The primary debate, in the eyes of the public, was whether nature or nurture was responsible for a given outcome. In later years, the focus shifted from contention to cooperation; rather than asking whether genetic or environmental factors determine a given outcome, researchers recognized the importance of both (Plomin, 1996). Although still often misunderstood by the public, the realization that both heredity and environment play a role in practically all human behavior superseded myopic notions such as genetic determinism or strict environmentalism. Thus, through methods such as twin and adoption studies, behavioral geneticists began to study the relative impact of heredity and environment on human behavior (see Plomin, DeFries, McClearn, & McGuffin, 2001). Social scientists have also recognized, however, that the calculation of heritabilities for traits and the partitioning of variance into genetic and environmental components—the traditional domain of behavioral genetics—is of limited value (Bronfenbrenner & Ceci, 1994; Turkheimer, 1998). While it may be useful to know, the determination of how much variance is accounted for by genetic and environmental factors does not reveal how the two interact to yield developmental outcomes...
