This is a revised K23 application, the purpose of which is to prepare the candidate for an independent career in the genetic epidemiology of personality and anxiety and depressive disorders. The overall focus of the research project is to determine how personality traits and anxiety and depressive disorders relate. There is currently little empirical data regarding such relationships in the general population, especially with a longitudinal perspective, multiple methods of assessment, and genetic informativeness. The proposed study provides a unique opportunity to investigate these issues, using data from the Baltimore Epidemiologic Catchment (ECA) Study, The Virginia Twin Study (VTS), and The Virginia Twin-Family Study of Adolescent Behavioral Development (v-rSABD). The specific aims of this proposal are: 1) To determine longitudinal relationships between normal personality traits and anxiety and depressive disorders, using data from the Baltimore ECA, V'I'S, and VTSABD cohorts; 2) To determine longitudinal relationships between personality disorder traits and anxiety and depressive disorders in adults, using data from the Baltimore ECA cohort; 3) To determine associations between personality traits and treatment seeking, using data from the Baltimore ECA cohort; and 4) To determine to what extent associations between neuroticism and extraversion and anxiety and depressive disorders reflect common genetic or environmental determinants, using data from the V'I'S and VTSABD cohorts. The products will include an enhanced understanding of the influence of personality traits on risk for and persistence of anxiety and depressive disorders, new information on the risk of development of personality disorder traits in adulthood as a complication of anxiety and depressive disorders, new knowledge regarding the influence of personality traits on treatment seeking, and a more detailed understanding of etiologic relationships between normal personality traits and anxiety and depressive disorders. The results will have implications for prevention and other public health efforts. The Principal Investigator's research career development will be enhanced substantially through protected time for mentored analyses of longitudinal and twin data, and for relevant coursework. He will be guided by exceptionally talented mentors, including Drs. Gerald Nestadt, Kenneth Kendler, William Eaton, Kung-Yee Liang, Paul Costa, Murray Stein, Patrick Sullivan, and Lindon Eaves.

这是一个修订后的K23应用程序，其目的是准备候选人在人格和焦虑和抑郁症的遗传流行病学的独立职业生涯。该研究项目的总体重点是确定人格特质与焦虑和抑郁症之间的关系。目前很少有经验数据，在一般人群中的这种关系，特别是纵向的角度来看，多种评估方法，遗传信息。拟议的研究提供了一个独特的机会，调查这些问题，使用的数据来自巴尔的摩流行病学流域（ECA）研究，弗吉尼亚州双胞胎研究（VTS），和弗吉尼亚州双胞胎家庭研究的青少年 行为发展（v-rSABD）。该建议的具体目标是：1）使用来自巴尔的摩ECA、V 'I'S和VTSABD队列的数据，确定正常人格特质与焦虑和抑郁障碍之间的纵向关系; 2）使用来自巴尔的摩ECA队列的数据，确定人格障碍特质与成人焦虑和抑郁障碍之间的纵向关系; 3）使用来自巴尔的摩ECA队列的数据，确定人格特质和寻求治疗之间的关联;以及4）确定神经质和外倾性之间的关联程度， 焦虑和抑郁障碍反映了共同的遗传或环境决定因素，使用来自V 'I'S和VTSABD队列的数据。这些产品将包括加强对人格特征对焦虑和抑郁障碍风险和持续性的影响的理解，关于成年后人格障碍特征发展为焦虑和抑郁障碍并发症的风险的新信息，关于人格特征对寻求治疗的影响的新知识，以及对正常人格特征与焦虑和抑郁障碍之间病因关系的更详细了解。研究结果将对预防和其他公共卫生工作产生影响。主要研究者的研究职业发展将大大提高通过保护时间的纵向和双胞胎数据的指导分析，并为相关的课程。他将由非常有才华的导师指导，包括Gerald Nestadt博士、Kenneth Kendler博士、William Eaton博士、Kung-Yee Liang博士、Paul Costa博士、Murray Stein博士、帕特里克沙利文博士和林登屋檐博士。
