A Genetic Basis for Social Trust? (2010, background): “First, and most obviously, theoretical and empirical accounts that fail to account for genetic factors are mis-specified at the outset (Alford and Hibbing 2008; Fowler and Dawes 2008).”
The Heritability of Partisan Attachment (2009, background): “…as political attitudes (Alford, Funk, and Hibbing 2005; Hatemi et al. 2007; Tesser 1993), political orientations (Alford, Funk, and Hibbing 2005; Settle et al. 2008), voting behavior (Fowler, Baker, and Dawes 2008; Fowler and Dawes 2008; Dawes and Fowler 2008), and trust (Cesarini et al. 2008).”
Leaving the Nest and the Social Act of Voting: Turnout among First-Time Voters (2012, unknown): “In addition to the socialization studies, newer studies have suggested that voting exhibits strong, heritable traits which are genetically transferred from parent to child (Fowler & Dawes, 2008; Fowler et al., 2008).”
Personality and Political Attitudes: Relationships across Issue Domains and Political Contexts (2010, background): “…political opinions and behavior is an area of ongoing work (e.g., Alford, Funk, and Hibbing 2005; Dawes and Fowler 2009; Eaves and Hatemi 2008; Fowler, Baker, and Dawes 2008; Fowler and Dawes 2008; Hatemi et al. 2009; Hatemi et al. 2007; Martin et al. 1986; Settle, Dawes, and Fowler 2009).”
Essentially Biased: Why People Are Fatalistic About Genes (2017, background): “In recent years, these apparent links have spurred efforts to specify shared genetic markers underlying a possible conservative phenotype (Deppe, Stoltenberg, Smith, & Hibbing 2013; Fowler & Dawes, 2008).”
Partisanship, Voting, and the Dopamine D2 Receptor Gene (2009, background): “for political behaviors like voting (Fowler, Baker & Dawes 2007, Fowler & Dawes 2007 ) that”
A Genome-Wide Analysis of Liberal and Conservative Political Attitudes (2011, methodology): “…traits and several genetic markers have been implicated using allelic2 association methods, including monoamine oxidase and serotonin for voting participation (Fowler and Dawes 2008), serotonin for certain attitude positions (Hatemi et al. 2008), and dopamine for ideology (Dawes and Fowler 2009).”
Linking Genetics and Political Attitudes: Reconceptualizing Political Ideology (2011, unknown): “…partially heritable (e.g., Alford, Funk, & Hibbing, 2005; Hatemi, Gillespie, Hibbing, Alford, & Martin, 2008; Hatemi et al., 2010), and other studies have reported correlations between specific genes and political phenotypes (e.g., Fowler & Dawes, 2008; Settle, Dawes, Christakis, & Fowler, 2008).”
