Do you think fear is a genetic attribute?

I'm starting to think it is...I've been fearful of all sorts of things my whole life, just like my mom. And it turns out that Maddie, who kind of is a lot like me, has lot's of similar fears. Just made me wonder...what do you think?

I have been wondering the same thing. I have fear of bad roads just like mom but really try to suppress it. In talking to mom though it turns out that her mom was scared of a lot of the same things as she is. Mom thinks that fears are taught not genetic. I think she blames her mom for a lot of her own fears, but it is an interesting idea that it is genetic.
