儿童的良好性格发展与父母的行为有关,但遗传影响在这种联系中的作用尚未得到研究。本报告采用纵向双胞胎/兄弟姐妹研究(N= 720;时间1 (T1) = 12-14岁,时间3 (T3) = 25-27岁),研究了父母的消极/积极态度与子女在青春期的责任感以及随后的年轻人的责任心之间的关系。研究结果表明,父母的消极态度和子女在青春期和青年期的善良性格之间的联系主要是由于遗传影响。相比之下,同时父母的积极性和青少年的责任感之间的联系主要是由于遗传和共同的环境影响。这些发现强调了遗传因素在养育子女和品德高尚之间的关联中的作用,而遗传因素之前被认为只是环境因素的影响,强调了品德高尚的形成机制的复杂性。
Virtuous character development in children is correlated with parenting behavior, but the role of genetic influences in this association has not been examined. Using a longitudinal twin/sibling study (N= 720; Time 1 (T1)Mage= 12–14 years, Time 3 (T3)Mage= 25–27 years), the current report examines associations among parental negativity/positivity and offspring responsibility during adolescence, and subsequent young adult conscientiousness. Findings indicate that associations among parental negativity and offspring virtuous character during adolescence and young adulthood are due primarily to heritable influences. In contrast, the association between concurrent parental positivity and adolescent responsibility was due primarily to heritable and shared environmental influences. These findings underscore the contributions of heritable influences to the associations between parenting and virtuous character that have previously been assumed to be only environmentally influenced, emphasizing the complexity of mechanisms involved in the development of virtuous character.
