I'm sure both cultural and genetic factors are involved. But culture is to some extent produced by the innate characteristics of the people in question.

And vice-versa. If a certain trait is valued by the culture, there's a better chance that it will be selected. For example, what will be the long term effects of the Holocaust on Jews? It has already resulted in the reestablishment of the state of Israel and an aggressive self-defense mindset. Will this mindset now be selected genetically because it is seen as important?
