Behavior Genetics of Temperament and Personality: Advances in Behavior Genetics

Editat de Kimberly J. Saudino, Jody M. Ganiban
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 mar 2021
This volume examines behavioral genetic research on temperament and personality from a number of perspectives. It takes a developmental perspective on a number of issues across the lifespan,  focusing on personality and temperament. The first section focuses on the development of temperament and personality. Typically this has involved exploring genetic and environmental contributions to phenotypic stability and instability, but more recently there has been research that examines the etiology of intra-individual change/growth trajectories. The second section examines genetic and environmental contributions to the association between temperament and personality and other behaviors. The third and fourth sections discuss genotype-environment correlations and interactions, and introduces the reader to molecular genetics research on temperament and personality. Chapter 11 will discuss the significance of this type of research and Chapter 12 will provide an example of specific line of research exploring genes associated with temperament.​

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This volume examines behavioral genetic research on temperament and personality and takes a developmental perspective on a number of issues across the lifespan . The first section ​explores models of temperament and personality, and behavioral genetic approaches to studying the development of each construct across the life span. Both behavioral genetic and molecular genetics research findings are examined within a developmental framework.The second section examines the developmental significance of temperament and personality by exploring genetic and environmental contributions to the association between temperament and personality and other behaviors. The third section discusses genotype-environment correlations and interactions and addresses the processes by which temperament and personality become associated with developmental outcomes. A theme emphasized throughout the volume is that behavioral genetics has much more to offer to the study of temperamentand personality than simple heritability estimates. 
 


Caracteristici
