ACE cross‐lagged model showing genetic and environmental influences on anxiety sensitivity and OCS over time

Note: OCS, obsessive–compulsive symptoms; AS, anxiety sensitivity; T1, Time 1; T2, Time 2; A, additive genetic effects; C, shared environmental effects; and E, nonshared environmental effects. Values on single‐headed arrows are standardized path estimates; values on double‐headed arrows are correlation coefficients. Genetic and environmental correlations at Time 2 are residuals, representing the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and OCS at Time 2 that is independent of their association at Time 1. 95% confidence intervals in parentheses. Solid lines represent significant paths; dashed lines represent nonsignificant paths
