2 main standpoints:
Nature (trait) theories
- we are born with abilities
- these abilities are genetically inherited/innate
- they are therefore stable and enduring
- we are naturally good or bad at skills
Nurture (social learning) theories
- we are made by developing abilities into skills
- we learn these skills through our experience
- the environment/situation we are in determines our behavior
- we become experts through practice
