  • Evidence for genetic influence on both cross-situation and situation-specific components of behavior

    Kay Phillips, Adam P Matheny et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1997Cited by: 2References: 6

    An assumption often made in the study of personality and in social psychology is that methods variance and situation-specific effects, as key components of measured behavioral variance, are environmental effects. The results of the present research refute that assumption. Nine measures-3 aspects of temperament measured in each of 3 ways-were obtained at age 24 months for twin sibships participating in the Louisville Twin Study. This report descri…

  • Children's Behavioral Inhibition Over Age and Across Situations

    Open AccessAdam P MathenyARTICLEJournal of Personality1989

    Ratings of behaviors pertaining to inhibition were observed for 130 twins participating in a longitudinal study Ratings were available for four ages (12, 18, 24, and 30 months) and from three sources at each age direct observations obtained in a laboratory setting, direct observations obtained in conjunction with infant mental testing, and a temperament measure from a questionnaire completed by parents For the individual twins, the age‐to‐age cor…

  • Psychological Characteristics of Childhood Accidents

    Open AccessAdam P MathenyARTICLEJournal of Social Issues1987Cited by: 3References: 16

    Research on the psychological characteristics of children injured inadvertently has been beset by criticisms reflecting partly concerns about research methodology and partly a view that the research may detract from wide‐scale public health approaches to injury prevention. Moreover, the research has often led to the too general application of the notion of accident proneness, presumably reflecting a trait. Because of these criticisms, the search …

  • Twins with academic learning problems

    Adam P Matheny, Anne Brown Dolan et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry1976References: 6

    Developmental histories of 46 children experiencing academic difficulties, all of whom had participated since birth in a longitudinal study of twins, were compared with a matched control group of twins. Genetic influences on the liability for academic difficulties are suggested, since identical pairs were more likely than fraternal pairs to be concordant both for academic difficulties and for preschool behavioral characteristics specific to the i…

  • Changes in eye colour during early childhood

    Open AccessAdam P Matheny, Anne Brown DolanARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1975

    Eye colour was assessed routinely from 3 months to 6 years for children participating in a longitudinal study of twins. There were 169 female twin pairs, 161 male pairs, and 60 opposite-sex pairs. Age trends, established by sampling only one member of every pair, showed a marked decrease in lighter colours and a corresponding increase in darker colours with age. The eye colour of females was more represented by darker shades, and was more likely …

  • Persons, situations, and time

    Adam P Matheny, Anne Brown DolanARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1975References: 3

    Twin children participating in a longitudinal study were observed at 9, 12, 18, 24, and 30 months of age in two settings: unstructured free play and relatively structured test taking. Behaviors relating to adaptability to the two settings were rated and the scores analyzed for evidence of continuity both across settings and across ages. Age-to-age correlations for the adaptability scores for each setting yielded a simplex pattern of low-moderate …

  • Sex and genetic differences in hair color changes during early childhood

    Open AccessAdam P Matheny, Anne Brown DolanARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1975References: 7

    Hair color was assessed routinely from three months to six years for children participating in a longitudinal study of twins: 169 female twin pairs, 161 male pairs, and 60 opposite‐sex pairs. Age trends, established by sampling only one member of every pair, showed marked changes in hair color for both sexes, but there was a consistent excess of light‐haired males and dark‐haired females. Within‐pair concordance rates were calculated for same‐sex…

  • An Apparatus for the Measurement of a Neonateʼs General Activity

    Adam P Matheny, Kenneth HullARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1969

    A simple, inexpensive device for sensing a neonate's gross activity is described. Ordinary VU meters, inserted in a foam rubber crib mattress, transduce neonatal movement to an output voltage capable of being recorded. No external power source is needed. Ratings of visually observed movement were correlated with ratings of recorded signals obtained from 4 neonates. A correlation coefficient of +.77 was found between these ratings. The use of this…
