Oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) is related to psychological resources.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 13 Sept 2011

Abstract excerpt

Psychological resources--optimism, mastery, and self-esteem--buffer the deleterious effects of stress and are predictors of neurophysiological and psychological health-related outcomes. These resources have been shown to be highly heritable, yet the genetic basis for this heritability remains unknown. Here, we report a link between the oxytocin receptor (OXTR) SNP rs53576 and psychological resources, such that...
