A Critical Review of the First 10 Years of Candidate Gene-by-Environment Interaction Research in Psychiatry (2011, positive): “Consistent with this expectation, twin analyses convincingly demonstrate that at least some responses to the environment are heritable (4).”
The Behavioural Genetics of Personality Development in Adulthood—Classic, Contemporary, and Future Trends (2014, positive): “…studies have shown that putative environmental influences and life events show substantial heritability (e.g. Kandler, Bleidorn, Riemann, Angleitner, & Spinath, 2012; Kandler, Riemann, & Kämpfe, 2009; Kendler, 2001; Kendler & Baker, 2007; Saudino, Pedersen, Lichtenstein, McClearn, & Plomin, 1997).”
Genetic confounding of the relationship between father absence and age at menarche (2017, background): “Selection effects, underpinned by genes, exert an influence on the environments that humans experience via gene–environment correlation (rGE) (Barnes et al., 2014; Kendler & Baker, 2007; Scarr & McCartney, 1983).”
Longitudinal Experience–Wide Association Studies—A Framework for Studying Personality Change (2020, background): “…corresponsive principle (cf. Roberts et al., 2008), numerous studies have shown that environmental experiences—and even seemingly uncontrollable events such as accidents or job loss—are under some genetic influence (Kandler, Bleidorn, Riemann, Angleitner, & Spinath, 2012; Kendler & Baker, 2007).”
The discordant MZ-twin method: One step closer to the holy grail of causality (2009, methodology): “Although the discordant MZ-twin method can be applied to concurrent data, a longitudinal approach is particularly important to disentangle directionality between environmental effects on the person and person effects on the environment (Kendler & Baker, 2007).”
Dimensions of Normal Personality as Networks in Search of Equilibrium: You Can't like Parties if you Don't like People (2012, background): “For instance, people can and will (consciously or not) seek out environments that match their behavioural repertoire (e.g. Heady & Wearing, 1989; Kendler & Baker, 2007; Kendler, Gardner & Prescott, 2003).”
A Unified Model of Depression (2016, positive): “Conversely, the occurrence of certain stressful life events associated with risk for depression has been shown to have a heritable component (e.g., family conflict; see Kendler, 1998; Kendler & Baker, 2007).”
Epigenetics as a unifying principle in the aetiology of complex traits and diseases (2010, background): “Another difficulty comes from the observation that environmental risk factors can often have a 'heritable' component embedded in what seems to be purely environmenta”
Generalized Trust Four Lessons From Genetics and Culture (2015, background): “The heritability of intelligence, autism, and schizophrenia is around 80%, and classic personality traits such as extraversion and neuroticism have a heritability of at least 40% (e.g., Boomsma et al., 2006; Kendler & Baker, 2007).”
