双胞胎的孩子的设计被用来测试婚姻冲突的频率和行为问题之间的关联是否可以复制不和谐的双胞胎对的孩子。研究人员使用了1,045对双胞胎中的2,051名儿童（年龄在14-39岁之间）的样本来估计遗传和环境对婚姻冲突的影响，并确定遗传或环境选择过程是否是婚姻冲突和行为问题之间观察到的关联的基础。结果表明，遗传和非共享的环境因素影响婚姻冲突的风险。此外，遗传影响调解婚姻冲突频率和行为问题之间的关联。这些结果突出了需要quasiexperimental设计的代际协会的调查。
The Children-of-Twins design was used to test whether associations between marital conflict frequency and conduct problems can be replicated within the children of discordant twin pairs. A sample of 2,051 children (age 14-39 years) of 1,045 twins was used to estimate the genetic and environmental influences on marital conflict and determine whether genetic or environmental selection processes underlie the observed association between marital conflict and conduct problems. Results indicate that genetic and nonshared environmental factors influence the risk of marital conflict. Furthermore, genetic influences mediated the association between marital conflict frequency and conduct problems. These results highlight the need for quasiexperimental designs in investigations of intergenerational associations.
