Note. a_M, genetic path estimate for relationship quality; c_M, shared environmental path estimate for relationship quality; e_M, nonshared environmental path estimate for relationship quality; a_C, genetic path estimate common to relationship quality and personality; c_C, shared environmental path estimate common to relationship quality and personality; e_C, nonshared environmental path estimate common to relationship quality and personality; a_U, genetic path estimate unique to personality; c_U, shared environmental path estimate unique to personality; e_U, nonshared environmental path estimate unique to personality; β_aMC, moderator of common genetic path to personality; β_cMC, moderator of common environmental path to personality; β_eMC, moderator of nonshared environmental path to personality; β_aMU, moderator of unique genetic path to personality; β_cMU, moderator of unique environmental path to personality; β_eMU, moderator of unique nonshared environmental path to personality. No Moderation=estimates from model with moderation parameters set to 0. Bivariate=estimates from Purcell’s (2002) bivariate moderation model; 95% confidence intervals are for bivariate moderation. Univariate=parameter estimates from Van der Sluis et al. (2012) extended univariate moderation model, which only allows for moderation on the unique path to the outcome.
