How did preferences develop in childhood and influence us in adulthood ?

Question

(taste; choice of jobs and hobbies etc)

Answer 1

Choices are deep rooted. Why do some people smile and others don"t. I like blue you like red. It all boils down to how you were raised and what you were exposed to. These things can follow you into adulthood but some people like to try new things. Sometimes not knowing is worse than knowing. Door1 or door2 your choice.

Answer 2

Environmental issues affect a child - extent of parental interest, type of home, siblings, schooling, religion, friends desires/wishes as well as the singular preferences lodged in any individual's mind from early life.
