Eye color as an indicator of behavior: revisiting Worthy and Scott.

Psychological reports - 1 Jun 2008

Elias Vicky L, Nicolas Cindy L, Abramson Charles I

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic eye color has been suggested as an indicator of genetic predisposition toward certain behaviors both in humans and in animals. Previous research has yielded mixed results. Phototaxic and ethological behaviors were examined in 14 different strains of Drosophila melanogaster. No significant correlation between phenotypic eye coloration and behavior was found, although significant genotypical behavioral...
