The Heritability of Inhibited and Uninhibited Behavior: A Twin Study.

Robinson, JoAnn L.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v28 n6 p1030-37 Nov 1992

Behaviors of monozygotic and dizygotic twins that were indicative of wariness were observed when the twins were 14, 20, and 24 months of age. An index of inhibition constructed from observations showed internal consistency at all ages and stability across ages. Heritability was a factor at all ages. (BC)
