true

Explanation:

1. Personality, thoughts, and behavior are influenced by both genetics and culture. Genetics provides the biological foundation, while culture shapes values, norms, and behaviors. So neither "Genetics only" nor "Culture only" is correct.
2. The people one associates with, especially those from diverse cultural backgrounds, can influence cultural identity through exposure to different ideas, values, and practices.
3. Primary socialization agencies are typically family. Schools and media are more associated with secondary socialization.

Answer:

1. Neither option is correct (but if forced to choose from given options, both are wrong as it's a combination).
2. False
3. False
