Note. N=572 twin pairs. −2lnL=−2 log likelihood; df=degrees of freedom; X2=difference in −2 log likelihood between full moderation and no moderation models; the difference in df between full moderation and no moderation models is 6 for all personality traits; p=probability value; AIC=Akaike Information Criterion, with smaller values indicating better model fit (shown in bold).
