Genetic and environmental covariation between autistic traits and behavioral problems.
Our objective was to examine the overlap between autistic traits and other behavioral problems in a general population sample, and explore the extent to which this overlap is due to genetic or environmental factors. Youth Self Report (YSR) data were collected in a general population sample of 424 twin pairs at 18 years of age, and their nontwin siblings. In 197 of these twin families, self-repo...
متن کاملChapter 4 Genetic and Environmental Covariation between Autistic Traits and Behavioural Problems
Objective: To examine the overlap between autistic traits and other behavioural problems in a general population sample, and explore whether this overlap is of genetic or environmental origin. Method: Youth Self Report (YSR) data were collected in a general population sample of 424 twin pairs at 8 years of age, and their non-twin siblings. In 97 of these families self-report ratings on the Au...
متن کاملAttentional switching forms a genetic link between attention problems and autistic traits in adults
BACKGROUND Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and autistic traits often occur together. The pattern and etiology of co-occurrence are largely unknown, particularly in adults. This study investigated the co-occurrence between both traits in detail, and subsequently examined the etiology of the co-occurrence, using two independent adult population samples. Method Data on ADH...
متن کاملSources of structure: genetic, environmental, and artifactual influences on the covariation of personality traits.
The phenotypic structure of personality traits has been well described, but it has not yet been explained causally. Behavior genetic covariance analyses can identify the underlying causes of phenotypic structure; previous behavior genetic research has suggested that the effects from both genetic and nonshared environmental influences mirror the phenotype. However, nonshared environmental effect...
متن کاملExamining the Genetic and Environmental Associations between Autistic Social and Communication Deficits and Psychopathic Callous-Unemotional Traits
BACKGROUND Difficulties in appropriate social interaction are characteristic of both children with autism spectrum disorders and children with callous-unemotional traits (who are at risk of developing psychopathy). Extant experimental studies suggest that the nature of atypical social cognition that characterises these two profiles is not identical. However, 'empathizing' difficulties have been...
