A multivariate genetic analysis of sensation seeking.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 1995

Koopmans J R, Boomsma D I, Heath A C, van Doornen L J

Abstract excerpt

The genetic architecture of sensation seeking was analyzed in 1591 adolescent twin pairs. Individual differences in sensation seeking were best explained by a simple additive genetic model. Between 48 and 63% of the total variance in sensation seeking subscales was attributable to genetic factors. There were no sex differences in the magnitude of the genetic and environmental effects. The different dimensions of...
