人们对练习行为个体差异的原因知之甚少，为什么有些人比其他人练习得更多？在这里，我们探讨人格相关的特质，如开放性，动机和流动倾向以及智商作为音乐实践的潜在预测因素。使用一个超过10，500人的大型瑞典双胞胎队列，我们还估计了这种关联背后的遗传和环境影响。智商、内在动机、音乐流和开放性与音乐实践有着显著的联系。在同一个模型中的所有预测因素（包括性别和年龄），我们可以解释大约25%的音乐练习方差。然而，智商和内在动机在完整的模型中变得不显着，音乐特定流是音乐实践的最强预测因子。多变量遗传模型与其余两个显着的预测因素（开放性和音乐流）和音乐实践表明，变量之间的关联主要是由于共享的遗传影响与一些额外的非共享的环境影响。我们的研究结果表明，共同的基因可能会影响音乐练习行为和与艺术兴趣和音乐享受（流）相关的特质。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Little is known about reasons for individual differences in practice behavior why do some individuals practice more than others? Here we explore personality related traits such as openness, motivation and flow proneness as well as IQ as potential predictors of music practice. Using a large Swedish twin cohort of more than 10,500 individuals we also estimated genetic and environmental influences underlying such associations. Significant associations with music practice were found for IQ, intrinsic motivation, music flow, and openness. With all predictors in the same model (including sex and age) we could explain about 25% of variance in music practice. However, IQ and intrinsic motivation became non-significant in the full model, with music specific flow being the strongest predictor of music practice. Multivariate genetic modeling with the two remaining significant predictors (openness and music flow) and music practice suggested that the associations between the variables were largely due to shared genetic influences with some additional non-shared environmental influences. Our findings suggest that common genes may influence both music practicing behavior and traits related to artistic interests and musical enjoyment (flow). (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
