Genetic and Environmental Components of "Environmental" Influences.
Plomin, Robert; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v21 n3 p391-402 May 1985
Focuses on possibility that correlations between measures of environment and child devleopment can be mediated genetically as well as environmentally. Proposing an elementary model to test this hypothesis, data from classical adoption studies and new data from the Colorado Adoption Project are used to illustrate the model and provide quantitative estimates of environment-behavior correlations.
