A Developmental-Genetic Analysis of Common Fears from Early Adolescence to Early Adulthood.
Rose, Richard J.; Ditto, W. Blaine
Child Development, v54 n2 p361-68 Apr 1983
To examine developmental patterns of and genetic influences on common fears, a 51-item survey was administered to more than 2,600 adolescents and adults, including more than 400 pairs of like-sex twins. Findings suggest significant genetic modulation of developmental patterns in the acquisition and maintenance of some adaptive fears. (Author/RH)
