Testing a model for the genetic structure of personality: a comparison of the personality systems of Cloninger and Eysenck.

Journal of personality and social psychology - 1 Apr 1994

Heath A C, Cloninger C R, Martin N G

Abstract excerpt

Genetic analysis of data from 2,680 adult Australian twin pairs demonstrated significant genetic contributions to variation in scores on the Harm Avoidance, Novelty Seeking, and Reward Dependence scales of Cloninger's Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ), accounting for between 54% and 61% of the stable variation in these traits. Multivariate genetic triangular decomposition models were fitted to...
