| Summary |
This volume examines behavioral genetic research on temperament and personality and takes a developmental perspective on a number of issues across the lifespan . The first section explores models of temperament and personality, and behavioral genetic approaches to studying the development of each construct across the life span. Both behavioral genetic and molecular genetics research findings are examined within a developmental framework. The second section examines the developmental significance of temperament and personality by exploring genetic and environmental contributions to the association between temperament and personality and other behaviors. The third section discusses genotype-environment correlations and interactions and addresses the processes by which temperament and personality become associated with developmental outcomes. A theme emphasized throughout the volume is that behavioral genetics has much more to offer to the study of temperament and personality than simple heritability estimates |
