An early behavioral description of a person with Turner's syndrome.

A person with Turner's syndrome was described by Dr. Charles Pears in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, London, in 1805. The description included behavioral traits of mild temperament, absence of heterosexual interests, and concern about social stigmatization. These traits are the object of current behavior genetic studies of persons with Turner's syndrome.

Heredity-environment analyses of Jencks's IQ correlations.

Three different published heredity-environment analyses of Jencks's summary correlations for IQ have yielded strikingly different results. It is shown empirically that differences in selection of data and in computational procedures and logical inconsistencies in specifying equations are not responsible for the differences in results. Rather, the differences trace to the underlying assumptions made by the various authors. The analyses suggest that the assumptions concerning genetic dominance, assortative mating, and special twin environments were especially critical, while those regarding selective placement and different modes of environmental transmission were not.

Nature, nurture, and conservatism in the Australian Twin Study.

Church attendance, educational level, and six conservatism scales were the subject of a multivariate behavior-genetic analysis by Truett et al. (Behav. Genet. 22, 43-62, 1992), based on responses from a large sample of adult Australian twins. These data are here analyzed in a different way to elicit general conservatism factors in the genetic, shared environmental, and unshared environmental covariation. The general genetic factor appears mainly to reflect intellectual sophistication; the general environmental factors, religious affiliation. These factors are similar, although not identical, for men and women.
