Question: Do you use twin or family studies to investigate how genes control personality?

I don’t actually study/research personality heritability – but I do teach it! Twin studies and adoption studies are my favourites because they can provide the most interesting and convincing results.

I do want to start looking at the heritability of stress at work though (e.g. is a son/daughter more likely to become stressed when their parents have been stressed?), and will start this with actual genetic analysis.
