Interpersonal relationships are important factors in mental health. A genetically sensitive design was used to examine associations among marital quality, adequacy of social support, and 2 aspects of...
Genetic and Environmental Influences on Marital Relationships (2004)
Spotts, Erica L., Neiderhiser, Jenae M., Towers, Hilary, Hansson, Kjell, Lichtenstein, Paul, Cederblad, Marianne, ...
As most adults will marry at least once during their lifetime, studying marital quality and its predictors is of great importance. The current study addresses (a) the extent of agreement between...
Spotts, Erica L., Neiderhiser, Jenae M., Ganiban, Jody, Reiss, David, Lichtenstein, Paul, Hansson, Kjell, ...
Background: This study examined how interpersonal relationships, specifically marital quality and adequacy of social support, are associated with depressive symptoms among women. Methods: A sample of...
Genetic and Environmental Influences on Mothering of Adolescents: A Comparison of Two Samples (2004)
Neiderhiser, Jenae M., Reiss, David, Pedersen, Nancy L., Lichtenstein, Paul, Spotts, Erica L., Hansson, Kjell, ...
This study examined 2 samples of adolescents and mothers using a child-based design (Nonshared Environment in Adolescent Development [NEAD] project, N = 395 families) and a parent-based design (Twin...
Remembered Parental Bonding in Adult Twins: Genetic and Environmental Influences (2003)
Lichtenstein, Paul, Ganiban, Jody, Neiderhiser, Jenae M., Pedersen, Nancy L., Hansson, Kjell, Cederblad, Marianne, ...
One common assumption in psychology is the impact of parenting and parent-child relationships on the child's adjustment throughout the life span. Studies have indicated that there are genetic...
Unobserved heterogeneity in a model with cure fraction applied to breast cancer (2003)
Wienke, Andreas, Lichtenstein, Paul, Yashin, Anatoli I.
We suggest a cure-mixture model to analyze bivariate time-to-event data, as motivated by the paper of Chatterjee and Shih (2001, Biometrics 57, 779 - 786), but with a simpler estimation procedure and...
Forsti, Asta, Luo, Liping, Vorechovsky, Igor, Soderberg, Magnus, Lichtenstein, Paul, Hemminki, Kari
To study genetic changes associated with the development of breast cancer and the extent of its hereditary predisposition, paraffin-embedded tissue samples were obtained from monozygotic twin pairs...

Eley, Thalia C., Lichtenstein, Paul, Stevenson, Jim
Recent theory and results from twin and adoption studies of children and adolescents suggest greater genetic influence on aggressive as compared to nonaggressive antisocial behavior. In addition,...

Heritability of ultimatum game responder behavior
Wallace, Björn, Cesarini, David, Lichtenstein, Paul, Johannesson, Magnus
Experimental evidence suggests that many people are willing to deviate from materially maximizing strategies to punish unfair behavior. Even though little is known about the origins of such fairness...

Billiards and Brains: Cognitive Ability and Behavior in a p-Beauty Contest
Burnham, Terence C., Cesarini, David, Wallace, Björn, Johannesson, Magnus, Lichtenstein, Paul
"Beauty contests" are well-studied, dominance-solvable games that generate two interesting results. First, most behavior does not conform to the unique Nash equilibrium. Second, there is considerable...
Genetic Influences on Economic Preferences
David, Cesarini, Dawes, Christopher T., Johannesson, Magnus, Lichtenstein, Paul, Wallace, Björn
We use the classical twin design to provide estimates of genetic and environmental influences on experimentally elicited preferences for risk and altruism. Our estimates provide strong prima facie...
Heritability of cooperative behavior in the trust game
Cesarini, David, Dawes, Christopher T., Fowler, James H., Johannesson, Magnus, Lichtenstein, Paul, Wallace, Björn
Although laboratory experiments document cooperative behavior in humans, little is known about the extent to which individual differences in cooperativeness result from genetic and environmental...
Is Financial Risk-Taking Behavior Genetically Transmitted?
Cesarini, David, Johannesson, Magnus, Lichtenstein, Paul, Sandewall, Örjan, Wallace, Björn
In this paper, we use a sample of almost 30,000 Swedish mono- and dizygotic twins to study the heritability of financial risk-taking. Following a major pension reform in the year 2000, virtually all...
