参加宗教活动与饮酒呈负相关。我们调查了这种关系是由遗传因素还是环境因素驱动的。在弗吉尼亚州的30,000项研究中，从双胞胎及其家庭中获得了参加教堂活动和饮酒频率的数据。一个全面的双变量模型的家庭相似性拟合的数据使用Mx。详细描述了该模型。结果表明，遗传因素主要占男性酒精和教会出席之间的关系，而共享的环境因素，包括文化传播和基因型环境协方差，这种关联在女性更强的决定因素。
Religious attendance has been shown to correlate negatively with alcohol use. We investigated whether this relationship is driven by genetic or environmental factors. Data on frequency of church attendance and frequency of alcohol use were obtained from twins and their families in the Virginia 30,000 study. A comprehensive bivariate model of family resemblance was fitted to the data using Mx. This model is described in detail. Results indicate that genetic factors primarily account for the relationship between alcohol and church attendance in males, whilst shared environmental factors, including cultural transmission and genotype-environment covariance, are stronger determinants of this association in females.
