Peer reviewedRowe, David C. – Child Development, 1983
Suggests that each dimension of perceived family environment appears to be influenced by a different combination of underlying factors: acceptance-rejection by genetic and specific environmental factors and restrictiveness-permissiveness by shared and specific environmental factors. (RH)

Peer reviewedRodgers, Joseph Lee; Rowe, David C. – Journal of Family Issues, 1990
Examined the relationship between adolescent sexual activity and mildly deviant behavior. Analyzed data of 1,739 adolescents from the Carolina Population Center's Sexuality Project which contained linkable responses of siblings, best friends, and other friends. Results showed overlap between sexuality and mild deviance but also indicated that the…

Peer reviewedRodgers, Joseph Lee; Rowe, David C. – Developmental Psychology, 1985
Examines the contiguity of siblings within family structure--a concept reflecting how much of the family environment siblings share with one another--in relation to within family IQ scores. Results fail to demonstrate family structure effects. (HOD)

Peer reviewedvan den Oord, Edwin J. C. G.; Rowe, David C. – Intelligence, 1998
Whether genetic and environmental effects on academic achievement changed as a function of the quality of children's environment was studied with 1664 pairs of full siblings, 366 pairs of half siblings, and 752 pairs of cousins. Little evidence was found of genotype-environment interactions. (SLD)

Peer reviewedRodgers, Joseph Lee; Cleveland, H. Harrington; van den Oord, Edwin; Rowe, David C. – American Psychologist, 2001
The authors respond to critiques of their investigation of whether birth order reliably contributes to variance in intelligence, concluding that little in the critiques challenges the original position that cross-sectional data are suspect as evidence for within-family trends in intelligence. When looking inside families and directly comparing the…

Peer reviewedJacobson, Kristen C.; Rowe, David C. – Developmental Psychology, 1999
Investigated genetic and environmental contributions to relationship between family and school environment and depressed mood; also potential sex differences in genetic and environment contributions to variation in and covariation between family connectedness, school connectedness, and depressed mood. Subjects were 2,302 adolescent sibling pairs.…

Peer reviewedRodgers, Joseph Lee; Rowe, David C. – Intelligence, 1987
IQ scores from five kinship categories of 7- to 12-year-olds were analyzed into genetic and environmental components. The common environmental effects were larger for older children than younger children. Overall, the Genetic and Common Environment Sources each accounted for approximately 40% of the IQ variability in the data. (Author/LMO)

Peer reviewedLosoya, Sandra H.; Callor, Suzanne; Rowe, David C.; Goldsmith, H. Hill – Developmental Psychology, 1997
Parents who were identical twins, fraternal twins, or adopted siblings completed questionnaires assessing attitudes toward parenting and specific parenting practices, the emotional atmosphere of the home, and parental personality. Model-fitting results implicated modest genetic effects on affect-related aspects of parenting, such as parental…

Peer reviewedRowe, David C.; And Others – Child Development, 1992
Used a longitudinal sibling research design and a large, nationally representative sample of 15- to 22-year-old siblings to study shared and unshared environmental influences on delinquency. Although no unshared family environmental influences were found for sisters and mixed-sex siblings, they may have existed for brothers. Data suggested…
