Stressful life events and depression among adolescent twin pairs.

Biodemography and social biology - 1 Jan 2011

Boardman Jason D, Alexander Kari B, Stallings Michael C

Abstract excerpt

Using the twin pairs sample from the National Longitudinal Study ofAdolescent Health, we estimate bivariate Cholesky models for the influence of stressful life events (SLEs) on depressive symptoms. We show that depressive symptoms (h2Depression = .28) and dependent SLEs (events influenced by an individual's behavior) are both moderately heritable (h2SLE Dependent = .43). We find no evidence for the heritability...
