Parenting as Phenotype: A Behavioral Genetic Approach to Understanding Parenting
This article discusses the behavioral genetic (BG) approach to parenting. Parenting is considered a phenotype that can be influenced by nature and nurture. Genetic contributions to parenting are conceptualized as evidence of genotype-environment correlation (rGE). Early BG studies focused on demonstrating that some parenting dimensions were heritable due to passive and evocative rGE processes. Current studies are investigating moderators and medi…
Sibling socialization: The effects of stressful life events and experiences
Stressful life events and experiences may disrupt the typical day-to-day interactions between sisters and brothers that provide the foundation of sibling socialization. This chapter examines four experiences that may affect patterns of sibling interaction: parental marital conflict, parental divorce and remarriage, foster care placement, and a sibling's developmental disability. We propose a model to guide future research on sibling socialization…
The Heritability of Parenting
This tutorial introduces and discusses behavioral genetic research on the heritability of parenting beliefs and behaviors. The article begins with a discussion of the concept of heritability and is followed by a description of behavioral genetic methods and designs. A summary of current research is included, and the limitations of these studies are discussed. The tutorial concludes with a summary and suggestions for future collaborative work

Children’s Perceptions of Sibling Conflict During Middle Childhood: Issues and Sibling (Dis)similarity
This study focused on the content (rather than the frequency) of sibling conflict, conflict initiation, and conflict resolution during middle childhood. Sibling similarity and heritability of children’s perceptions of sibling conflict were also examined. One hundred and eight school‐aged sibling pairs were interviewed using a semi‐structured interview format (average ages were 11.1 years and 8.2 years, respectively). Children’s responses were cod…
Children's perceptions of the sibling relationship in middle childhood: Connections within and between family relationships
Although sibling warmth and hostility have been shown to be statistically independent, they are intertwined in children's everyday experiences. We developed a multidimensional characterization of children's perceptions of their sibling relationships and examined differences in other family relationship measures as a function of different combinations of sibling hostility and warmth. Participants included 91 firstborn children between 10 and 11 ye…
Family environment and adolescent depressive symptoms and antisocial behavior: A multivariate genetic analysis
Measures of family environment often show substantial differences between children in the same family and are thus nonshared environment candidates. A key question is whether differential environments are related to differential outcomes when genetic differences between children in the same family are controlled. Parent and child reports and observations of family interactions were used to assess familial negativity and adolescents' depressive sy…
Genetic Contributions to Adolescents' Extrafamilial Social Interactions: Teachers, Best Friends, and Peers
The purpose of the present study was to investigate genetic and environmental contributions to individual differences in adolescents' social interactions outside the family. We investigated sibling resemblance for adolescents' reports of interactions with best friends and teachers, and parents' perceptions of adolescents' peer groups in 701 same‐sex adolescent sibling pairs aged 10‐18, using a twin, full sibling, and step sibling design. Our goal…
Parent ratings of EAS temperaments in twins, full siblings, half siblings, and step siblings
A twin/family design was used to explore genetic contributions to personality; to evaluate whether twins and nontwins yield different genetic results; and to test for the presence of contrast effects, the tendency of a rater to contrast one sibling with the other, thereby magnifying existing behavioral differences. The sample consisted of 708 adolescent same-sex sibling pairs from 10 to 18 years of age. Pairs included identical (monozygotic; MZ) …
