Note: K = Kindergarten. ATL =Approaches Toward Learning. Prop. A= proportion of the observed phenotypic correlations due to the genetic variance component. Prop. C = proportion of the observed phenotypic correlations due to the shared environmental variance component. Prop. E = proportion of the observed phenotypic correlations due to the nonshared environmental variance component. The proportion due to a variance component can be greater than 1 if the direction of correlation differs across variance components (e.g., positive rA but negative rC). Data are from ECLS-B.
