Is there an active gene-environment correlation in adolescent drinking behavior?
Abstract
A scale based on alcohol-related behaviors and an item on shared friends from the National Merit Twin Study were used in an attempt to confirm the finding of Cleveland et al. (1995, J Genet Psychol 166:153-169) of gene-environment correlation in adolescents' drinking behavior, a correlation based on the differential selection of peers. Results from samples of 490 MZ and 336 same-sex DZ pairs were consistent in direction with the hypothesis, although quantitatively modest. This consistency appeared, however, to depend entirely on the female twins in the sample.

Active gene-environment correlation is the process whereby an individual actively seeks environmental situations more closely matched to their genotype, and it has been suggested in adolescent drinking behavior, specifically among girls.
“Active rGE is defined as the process whereby an individual actively seeks out environmental situations that are more closely matched to the person's genotype. Active rGE has been suggested in adolescent drinking behavior, specifically among girls (Loehlin, 2010).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
