Genetic and environmental influences on restrained eating behavior.
OBJECTIVE We examined the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences to restrained eating. METHOD Restrained eating was assessed by the Restraint Scale in a survey mailed to all twins enrolled in the University of Washington Twin Registry. We used structural equation modeling to estimate genetic and nongenetic contributions to restrained eating. RESULTS 1,196 monozygotic...
متن کاملRunning head: GENETIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES Genetic and Environmental Influences on Prosocial Behavior
The obvious importance to human social functioning of prosocial behavior (behavior intended to benefit others) has led to extensive research on the sources of individual differences in prosociality, empathy, helping, cooperation, and altruism. At the species level, this markedly human trait has been explained in genetic terms. At the individual level, however, only about a dozen studies have di...
متن کاملNature and Nurture : Genetic and Environmental Influences on Behavior
The appropriate conjunction between the words nature and nurture is not versus but and. There is increasing acceptance of the evidence for substantial genetic influence on many behavioral traits, but the same research also provides the best available evidence for the importance of environmental influence and important clues about how the environment works. Because much developmental action is a...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental influences on behavior: capturing all the interplay.
Basic quantitative genetic models of human behavioral variation have made clear that individual differences in behavior cannot be understood without acknowledging the importance of genetic influences. Yet these basic models estimate average, population-level genetic and environmental influences, obscuring differences that might exist within the population and masking systematic transactions bet...
متن کاملCultural Reflections on Restrained Eating
Restrained eating refers to the intention to restrict food intake deliberately in order to prevent weight gain or to promote weight loss (Tuschl, 1990). There are several self-report instruments for the assessment of restrained eating, of which the three most commonly used are the Restraint Scale (RS; Herman andMack, 1975; Herman and Polivy, 1975; Polivy et al., 1978), and the restraint subscal...
