A Twin Study of Competence and Problem Behavior in Childhood and Early Adolescence
Abstract
Abstract The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was completed by parents of 181 pairs of same‐sex twins ages 7–15 (mean age = 11.0 years). Correlations between scores on the CBCL scales for 99 pairs of monozygotic twins and 82 pairs of dizygotic twins indicated significant genetic influences that varied according to the specific area of competence and problem behavior. Model‐fitting estimates derived from multiple regression analyses indicated significant genetic influence on competence in school and on all areas of problem behavior. In addition, significant shared environmental influence was detected for amount and quality of participation in activities, quality of social relationships, performance in school, anxiety/depression, and delinquent behaviour. Implications for future work on the mechanisms underlying these effects are discussed.

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.
