“Nearly everything important a human being wants can be reduced to one or more of these 15 core desires, most of which have a genetic basis,” said Steven Reiss, co-author of the study and a professor of psychology and psychiatry at Ohio State University.
“These desires are what guide our actions. In a sense, we are studying the meaning of life.”
“By evaluating extreme or unusual desires in children, we may be able to provide help before mental illness occurs in full force during adulthood,” Reiss said.
