Used behavioral genetic methods and environmental assessment techniques to assess maladaptive behavior in 6- to 11-year-old twin pairs. Found that genetic variation accounts for majority of variance in parent-reported child maladaptive behavior; in contrast, observational coding and global impressions of parent-twin interactive behavior suggest…
