  • The nature of the relation between mental well-being and ill-being

  • Using Instrumental Variables to Measure Causation over Time in Cross-Lagged Panel Models

    Open AccessMadhurbain Singh, Brad Verhulst et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research2024

    Cross-lagged panel models (CLPMs) are commonly used to estimate causal influences between two variables with repeated assessments. The lagged effects in a CLPM depend on the time interval between assessments, eventually becoming undetectable at longer intervals. To address this limitation, we incorporate instrumental variables (IVs) into the CLPM with two study waves and two variables. Doing so enables estimation of both the lagged (i.e., "distal…

  • Childhood socioeconomic status and longitudinal patterns of alcohol problems

    Open AccessPauline Barr, Judy L Silberg et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2018Cited by: 7References: 9

    Childhood socioeconomic status (SES) is an important aspect of early life environment associated with later life health/health behaviors, including alcohol misuse. However, alcohol misuse is modestly heritable and involves differing etiological pathways. Externalizing disorders show significant genetic overlap with substance use, suggesting an impulsivity pathway to alcohol misuse. Alcohol misuse also overlaps with internalizing disorders, sugges…

  • Education and alcohol use

    Open AccessPauline Barr, Jessica E Salvatore et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2016Cited by: 4References: 62

    The consequences of heavy alcohol use remain a serious public health problem. Consistent evidence has demonstrated that both genetic and social influences contribute to alcohol use. Research on gene-environment interaction (GxE) has also demonstrated that these social and genetic influences do not act independently. Instead, certain environmental contexts may limit or exacerbate an underlying genetic predisposition. However, much of the work on G…

  • Maintained Individual Data Distributed Likelihood Estimation (MIDDLE)

    Steven M Boker, Timothy R Brick et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research2015

    Maintained Individual Data Distributed Likelihood Estimation (MIDDLE) is a novel paradigm for research in the behavioral, social, and health sciences. The MIDDLE approach is based on the seemingly impossible idea that data can be privately maintained by participants and never revealed to researchers, while still enabling statistical models to be fit and scientific hypotheses tested. MIDDLE rests on the assumption that participant data should belo…

  • OpenMx

    Open AccessSteven M Boker, Steven Boker et al.ARTICLEPsychometrika2011

    OpenMx is free, full-featured, open source, structural equation modeling (SEM) software. OpenMx runs within the R statistical programming environment on Windows, Mac OS–X, and Linux computers. The rationale for developing OpenMx is discussed along with the philosophy behind the user interface. The OpenMx data structures are introduced—these novel structures define the user interface framework and provide new opportunities for model specification.…

  • Heritability of somatotype components from early adolescence into young adulthood

    Open AccessMaarten Peeters, M W Peeters et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2003

    The finding of substantial genetic influence on the variability of somatotype components is further supported. The need to consider somatotype as a whole is stressed as well as the need for sex- and perhaps age-specific analyses. Further multivariate analyses are needed to confirm the present findings

  • Understanding Biological and Social Influences on Religious Affiliation, Attitudes, and Behaviors

    Open AccessBrian M D’onofrio, Lindon J Eaves et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality1999

    Although the transmission of religiousness has been assumed to be purely cultural, behavior genetic studies have demonstrated that genetic factors play a role in the individual differences in some religious traits. This article reviews the extant behavior genetic literature and presents new analyses from the “Virginia 30,000” on the causes of variation in religious affiliation, attitudes, and practices, and relates these to personality as constru…
