This goes back to the argument about whether behaviour is learned or inherited or both. Some of our personality traits may be genetically passed on. However, it seems hard to think that with just sperm and an egg that much can actually be passed on to the next generation.
Koreans tend to believe that while the baby is in the Mother's Womb that it can be affected by the Mother's environment somehow. Maybe at that point at some level the mother and the child are both connected for feeding and also connected on a mental level and able to pass on traits as the baby is growing. This could even be at a sub-conscience level.
I am reminded about this theory concerning whether playing classical music can affect the intelligence of children.
There is also this idea that the gut is also part of our total mental makeup. There may be some truth to this.
