Natural selection and animal personality (2005, background): “…(e.g., aggressiveness) are moderately heritable and relatively stable over the entire life of the individual (Boissy, 1995; Koolhaas et al., 1999; Bouchard & Loehlin, 2001) and that phenotypic correlations between components of personality (e.g., between aggressiveness and boldness) often…”
What matters most to prejudice: Big Five personality, Social Dominance Orientation, or Right‐Wing Authoritarianism? (2004, background): “…early expression of at least some of them as temperament variables in human infants (see e.g. Clark & Watson, 1999) and in other animal species as well (Bouchard & Loehlin, 2001), and because of their substantial heritability coefficients (see e.g. Bouchard & Loehlin, 2001; Plomin & Caspi, 1999).”
Heritability of Cardiovascular and Personality Traits in 6,148 Sardinians (2006, background): “Extended pedigree samples such as ours allow specific assessment of narrow heritability potentially, and it is possible that non-additive effects inflated estimates of heritability in studies of twins and small families [44,45].”
Genetic and environmental influences on human psychological differences. (2003, methodology): “The average effect associated with shared environmental factors was .15, although this effect was large for only two of the six traits (see Bouchard and Loehlin, 2001, Table 6).”
Human nature and culture: A trait perspective (2004, background): “First, behavior genetic studies have repeatedly shown strong heritability of adult personality traits, but virtually no influence of the shared environment ( Bouchard & Loehlin, 2001 ).”
A developmental propensity model of the origins of conduct problems during childhood and adolescence. (2003, background): “Most trait models of personality include a dimension defined by experiencing negative emotions frequently, intensely, and with little provocation (see reviews by Bouchard & Loehlin, 2001; Zuckerman, Kuhlman, Joireman, Teta, & Kraft, 1993).”
The bright and dark sides of leader traits: A review and theoretical extension of the leader trait paradigm (2009, background): “First, though most estimates suggest that roughly half of the variance in personality is heritable (Bouchard & Loehlin, 2001), that does not necessarily mean that the other half is environmental in the sense that this variance is reducible to a set of conditions.”
Consumer perceptions of frontline service employee personality traits, interaction quality, and consumer satisfaction (2009, background): “Although influenced by genetics, agreeableness is the least heritable of the five personality traits (Bouchard & Loehlin, 2001) and has been related to childhood experiences, in particular childhood ‘difficulties’ (Graziano, 1994), impulse control (Jensen-Campbell et al., 2002), and evolutionary…”
Horse personality: Variation between breeds (2008, background): “In addition, it is now well accepted that behaviour and personality are affected to some extent by genes (Bouchard and Loehlin, 2001; Reif and Lesch, 2003; Mormède, 2005; van Oers et al., 2005).”
The behavioural ecology of personality: consistent individual differences from an adaptive perspective (2004, background): “However, although there is evidence, from both the human ( Bouchard & Loehlin 2001 ) and non-human literature (e.g.”
