Genetic and environmental influences on positive and negative affect: support for a two-factor theory.

Psychology and aging - 1 Mar 1992

Baker L A, Cesa I L, Gatz M, Mellins C

Abstract excerpt

Genetic and environmental etiologies of positive and negative affect, as measured by the Bradburn Affect Balance Scale, were studied to gain understanding of a two-factor theory of well-being. It was hypothesized that negative affect would demonstrate significant genetic and environmental variance and positive affect would be explained primarily by environmental influences. Data were combined from 105 pairs of...
