DNA methylation profiles in monozygotic and dizygotic twins (2009, background): “286" language="eng" relation="no"> Twin studies have provided the basis for genetic and epidemiological studies in human complex trait”
Darwinism, behavioral genetics, and organizational behavior: A review and agenda for future research. (2006, background): “…the heritability of, and the additive and non-additive genetic effects on, scores on specific behavioral measures in this article; interested readers can find descriptions of basic behavioral genetics methods in Carey (2003), Bouchard and Loehlin, (2001), and Boomsma, Busjahn, and Peltonen (2002).”
My first employee: an empirical investigation (2016, result): “In analogy to the ‘‘twin studies’’ experimental design (Boomsma et al. 2002), firms are matched at birth (although the ‘‘twins’’ may randomly have different experiences between birth and the treatment opportunity) and we observe how an event in later years (t = 3) impacts on their overall developmen”
Personality development: stability and change. (2005, background): “In fact, large, worldwide registers of data on twins and their relatives are making it possible to advance understanding of both genetic and environmental influences on personality functioning across the life course (Boomsma et al. 2002).”
The two disciplines of scientific psychology, or: the disunity of psychology as a working hypothesis (2009, background): “There is ample reason to expect this to be so. For instance, the combination of (a) high heritability estimates for almost all inter-individual differences dimensions ( Boomsma, Busjahn, & Peltonen, 2002 ) and (b) the limited success in finding any genetic markers that explain more than, say, 1.5% o”
Genetic influences on human brain structure: A review of brain imaging studies in twins (2007, background): “The presence of shared environmental factors is suggested when correlations in DZ twins are larger than half of the MZ correlation [Boomsma et al., 2002].”
A twin-family study of general IQ (2008, methodology): “Twins were recruited from the Netherlands Twin Registry (NTR), established by the Department of Biological Psychology at the Vrije Universiteit (VU) in Amsterdam (Boomsma, Orlebeke, & Van Baal, 1992; Boomsma et al., 2002, 2006).”
Network analysis: an integrative approach to the structure of psychopathology. (2013, positive): “…possibilities with the advent of experience sampling data-gathering techniques, models for interindividual differences in the intraindividual parameters of dynamics (Wang et al. 2012), and advanced statistical modeling techniques in behavior genetics (Boomsma et al. 2002, Franić et al. 2012).”
Epigenetics as a unifying principle in the aetiology of complex traits and diseases (2010, background): “Among twin, family and adoption studies of heritability, twin studies are thought to provide the most elegant approach and have been used widely to estimate the relative roles of genetic and environmental factors in phenotypic variatio”
Economics of education (2016, background): “Unfortunately, such studies cannot produce a reliable estimate of the contributions of genes, environmental factors, or of the interaction of the two (Boomsma et al., 2002).”
How genetic is school myopia? (2005, background): “Population-based twin registers, which avoid problems associated with attracting only twins who have maintained close contact, are also available (Boomsma et al., 2002).”
