Similarities and Differences between Six-Year-Old Identical and Fraternal Twins and Their Parents on Measures of Locus of Control and Moral Development.

Schave, Barbara; Fox, Frank

Educational Research Quarterly, v11 n1 p49-56 1986-87

Personality correlations between dominant and nondominant twins were investigated. For locus of control, the correlation was nonsignificant for identical twins but significant for fraternal twins. For moral development, the correlations were significant for both types of twins. Generally speaking, the relationship between parental personality and twin personality was insignificant.
