An adoption study tracks individuals who have a high genetic risk for a specific psychological disorder because a biological parent has the disorder. The study finds that these individuals have a significantly elevated risk of developing the disorder themselves only if they are raised in a disturbed, high-stress family environment. Individuals with the same high genetic risk who are raised in healthy, supportive environments do not show this elevated risk. What is the most accurate conclusion from these findings?
