Within-study replication of nuclear twin family design results, using lifetime reports of parental antisocial behavior

Dimension of Antisocial Behavior Model % A % D % S % E %H (%A+%D)
AGG, lifetime reports of parental AGG Full ADSE 34.6* 23.6* 8.1ns 33.7* 58.2*
Best-fitting ADE 35.0* 31.9* 33.1* 66.9*
RB, lifetime reports of parental RB Full ADSE 48.9* 7.2ns 19.2* 24.7* 56.1*
Best-fitting ASE 51.4* 23.0* 25.6* 51.4*

AGG and RB refer to aggressive and non-aggressive antisocial behavior, respectively. Additive genetic, dominant genetic, environmental influences shared between siblings, and non-shared environmental influences are represented with A, D, S, and E, respectively. H refers to the broad or overall heritability of the trait, which is a sum of A and D. A, D, S, and E collectively account for 100 % of the variance in the trait, as do H, S, and E.
