Genetic Influence on Family Systems: Implications for Development.

Reiss, David

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v57 n3 p543-60 Aug 1995

Recent data suggest that genes influence three domains of great importance to family researchers: (1) developmental outcomes; (2) family variables that are thought to influence those outcomes; and (3) covariance between measures of family process and developmental outcomes. Influence of genes on variances and covariances challenges current developmental theory. Contains 76 references. (JBJ)
