That makes sense but I don't know how family would not be considered a peer group or part society. Family is who you spend the most time with in the early years of life. It is only natural to pick up behaviors from them that are not biological. I notice this with things my son picks up in ways that either me or his mother teach him.
In later years like 10-25 I think friends shape more behavior than family but a foundation is already set.
I think general personalities are largely born and the social influence can either inflate or deflate the traits of that personality.
Either way both genetics and environment go into the equation so it would make sense to give your child the best of both which is what I try to do.
