Heredity, Environment, and the Structure of the California Psychological Inventory.

Loehlin, John C.

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v22 n2 p137-48 Apr 1987

Scores were obtained on 31 item-clusters from the California Psychological Inventory for 490 identical and 317 same-sex fraternal twin pairs from the National Merit twin sample. Ordinary and cross-pair correlations were calculated and used to derive three matrices hypothesized to reflect the influence of genes, shared environment, and unshared environment. (LMO)
