clm-heritability-substantial-replicated
Across more than fifty years of twin and adoption research, nearly all psychological and psychiatric traits show substantial heritability (mean ~49%); shared family environment generally contributes less than additive genetic factors after early childhood.
clm-parenting-is-partly-heritable
Parenting behavior is itself partly heritable (≈23-40% of variance) because parents respond to genetically influenced child characteristics (evocative gene-environment correlation); naïve parenting-outcome associations therefore over-estimate causal parenting effects.
