理解发育中先天和后天之间相互作用的一个关键问题是社会化中的影响方向。纵向采用设计提供了一个独特的机会来调查这个问题的基因型-环境相关性的行为问题。作为科罗拉多收养项目的一部分，根据孩子出生前收集的亲生母亲的反社会行为自我报告历史，将适应儿童分为有遗传风险（N = 38）或无遗传风险（N = 50）的反社会行为。从7岁到12岁，养父母报告了他们在管理孩子行为时使用的消极控制，积极养育和不一致的养育方式。重复测量方差分析表明，有遗传风险的儿童比没有遗传风险的儿童更容易接受养父母的消极养育，这表明了一种令人回味的基因型-环境相关性。然而，研究结果也表明，大多数消极的父母和儿童的外化行为之间的关联是无法解释的基础上唤起基因-环境相关性和一个额外的环境介导的父母对儿童的行为的影响是合理的。
A key question for understanding the interplay between nature and nurture in development is the direction of effects in socialization. A longitudinal adoption design provides a unique opportunity to investigate this issue in terms of genotype-environment correlations for behavioral problems. As parr of the Colorado Adoption Project, adapted children were classified as being at genetic risk (N = 38) or not at genetic risk (N = 50) far antisocial behavior based on their biological mothers' self-report history of antisocial behavior collected prior to the birth of the child. From age 7 through age 12, adoptive parents reported on the negative control, positive parenting, and inconsistent parenting they use in managing their child's behavior. Repeated measures analysis of variance indicated that children at genetic risk were consistently more likely to receive negative parenting from their adoptive parents than children not at genetic risk, indicating an evocative genotype-environment correlation. However, the findings also showed that most of the association between negative parenting and children's externalizing behavior was not explicable on the basis of an evocative gene-environment correlation and that an additional environmentally mediated parental effect on children's behavior was plausible.
