A dynamic approach to psychological strength development and intervention (2011, unknown): “Steger, Hicks, Kashdan, Krueger, and Bouchard ( 2007 ) employed a sample of twins to examine the contribution of genetic factors on the 24 VIA strengths and found a consistent pattern of genetic contribution, with medium to large effects in many cases.”
Character strengths and well-being among volunteers and employees: Toward an integrative model (2010, background): “The positive relation between deploying character strengths and meaning in life was also consistent across both samples, replicating findings from Steger et al. (2007).”
Links Between Parents’ and Children’s Levels of Gratitude, Life Satisfaction, and Hope (2013, methodology): “Steger et al. (2007) examined an adult sample of 336 MZ and DZ twins to determine whether genetic links existed among positive 45 character strengths, including hope, as assessed by a ten-item hope subscale on the VIA.”
The structure of virtue: An empirical investigation of the dimensionality of the virtues in action inventory of strengths (2010, background): “Criterion-related validity (Park & Peterson, 2006; Park, Peterson, & Seligman, 2004) and construct validity (Park & Peterson, 2006; Steger et al., 2007) evidence have been satisfactory.”
