PloS one - 1 Jan 2016

Montag Christian, Hahn Elisabeth, Reuter Martin, Spinath Frank M, Davis Ken, Panksepp Jaak

Abstract excerpt

The present study investigated for the first time the relative importance of genetics and environment on individual differences in primary emotionality as measured with the Affective Neuroscience Personality Scales (ANPS) by means of a twin-sibling study design. In N = 795 participants (n = 303 monozygotic twins, n = 172 dizygotic twins and n = 267 non-twin full siblings), moderate to strong influences of...
