Note. A11 = additive genetic components for first phenotype, C11 = shared environment component for first phenotype, E11 = nonshared environment component for first phenotype. A21 = additive genetic component shared between first and second phenotypes, C21 = shared environment component shared between first and second phenotypes, E21 = nonshared environment component shared between first and second phenotypes. A22 = additive genetic components for second phenotype, C22 = shared environment component for second phenotype, E22 = nonshared environment component for second phenotype. Bolded models denote the best fitting models. Variance-based confidence intervals (CIs) are presented in parentheses and are based on standardized path estimates.

*

A21 and E21 paths were dropped in models.

**

CIs for C21 paths in the full and reduced models correspond with the percent of the variance in the second phenotype (7% for sleep duration and 7% for total sleep problems) accounted for by the first phenotype (sibling conflict).
