Do socio-economic factors affect inherent skills?

3 years ago in Psychology By Merve


Hi, I understand that cognitive skills are more prone to socio-economic factors but do inherent skills also get affected? 

In my project, I have taken some specific skills into account like creativeness, artistic skills, understanding, innovation, and so on. These skills can both be learned (as they offer courses) and can be skills that some people are born with.

Now, I am taking socio-economic factors and psychological factors as variables to see their impact on these skills. What is your opinion? Do you think socio-economic factors like politics, public administration, financial status, and such affect the inherent skills of people?

As much as I think it definitely affects the inherent skills. Maybe not to a greater context but it sure does. Taking creativity in account, most of the books or  poems written are highly affected by the time and era in which they have been written. Socio-economic factors affect the psychology of a person making it a psychological matter as well. Therefore, in my opinion, skills (be it cognitive or inherent) are a product of dynamic factors and socio-economic factors are included in those factors.

Hi dear, as per my opinion the socio-economic factors surely affect the inherent skills. It may be possible that social and political factors do not directly show it. Socio-political sciences do not want to be a part of showing how they negatively affect the person’s psychology but when someone achieves success, they would definitely ask for credits.  I really like the idea that you have chosen for this research work but it requires more of a theoretical framework of research where observations should be taken into consideration. Therefore, you have to make sure that your research structure is suitable for this study because getting a direct relation between inherent skills and socio-political factors will be a tough task.

 Hi Merve, first of all, all the best for this study. However, I think that the terms you used are dynamic. The cognitive skills as well as the inherent skills are both affected by social sciences as well as natural sciences. The variables, skills, and results will be dynamic as time and circumstances also play a vital role in developing these skills. For example, an intellect and brilliant student may not be able to provide appropriate solutions with the change in priorities. It also depends a lot on the personality of the person being studied. I wish you luck for this research but I must admit that you have chosen a complex one.

Even though I would like to the previous answers, I want to make sure that we are on the same page. What exactly do you refer to when you mention innovation and creativity? Also, Psychologically and Socio-economically the terms start to have different meanings. Inherent skills can be seen as a plant growing and it does require grooming, so I doubt that inherent skulls are not completely inherent as well. Before this grooming, inherent skills are more open and free. On the other hand, after grooming, the inherent skills are also bound to rules and limits. Therefore, if you are referring to the inherent skills before grooming, then I would say that socio-economic factors do not play any significant role in them.
