The complexity of personality: advantages of a genetically sensitive multi-group design.

Behavior genetics - 1 Mar 2012

Hahn Elisabeth, Spinath Frank M, Siedler Thomas, Wagner Gert G, Schupp Jürgen, Kandler Christian

Abstract excerpt

Findings from many behavioral genetic studies utilizing the classical twin design suggest that genetic and non-shared environmental effects play a significant role in human personality traits. This study focuses on the methodological advantages of extending the sampling frame to include multiple dyads of relatives. We investigated the sensitivity of heritability estimates to the inclusion of sibling pairs,...
