Genetic and environmental correlations between the General Factor of Personality (GFP) and working memory

The present study examines the association between General Factor of Personality (GFP) and working memory its etiology with a behavioral genetic approach. GFP, which explains common variance among lower-order personality traits, is considered to reflect social effectiveness. Meanwhile, also plays significant role in competence. Hence, we expected substantial GFP memory. A total 253 Japanese twin pairs (124 monozygotic female; 52 male; 28 dizygotic 17 32 opposite sex twins) were included analyses. Phenotypic analyses confirmed positive correlation Biometric analysis bivariate Cholesky decomposition model showed that phenotypic derived from additive non-shared environmental correlations. findings are line effectiveness account GFP. • exists measures.
