Note: additive genetic influences (A), common environmental influences (C), and unique environmental influences (E) shown in the right hand column of the table for each scale. Sat=saturated model; ACE=full model testing genetic, common and unique environmental influences; AE=model testing genetic and unique environment influences; CE=model testing common and unique environmental influences; −2LL=negative 2 log likelihood; d.f.=degrees of freedom; LRT=likelihood ratio chi-square test comparing the −2LL fit of each model to the −2LL fit of the saturated model; Δd.f.=difference in degrees of freedom comparing each model to the saturated model; AIC=Akaike׳s Information Criterion (lower values reflect a better fit); p=p-value. A=additive genetic influences, C=common environmental influences, E=Unique environmental influences.
