Sources of structure: genetic, environmental, and artifactual influences on the covariation of personality traits.

Journal of personality - 1 Aug 2001

McCrae R R, Jang K L, Livesley W J, Riemann R, Angleitner A

Abstract excerpt

The phenotypic structure of personality traits has been well described, but it has not yet been explained causally. Behavior genetic covariance analyses can identify the underlying causes of phenotypic structure; previous behavior genetic research has suggested that the effects from both genetic and nonshared environmental influences mirror the phenotype. However, nonshared environmental effects are usually...
