Abstract

The heritability of hostility as measured by the Cook and Medley Ho scale was assessed in an adult male sample of 60 monozygotic and 61 dizygotic twin pairs. For the total Ho scale, as well as its health predictive component, the results were consistent with a moderate genetic effect. Results are discussed in terms of genetic and environmental influences on the development of this trait, and possible genetic contributions to the association between hostility and subsequent health.

摘要

在一个由60对同卵双胞胎和61对异卵双胞胎成年男性组成的样本中，评估了用库克和梅德利敌意量表（Cook and Medley Ho scale）测量的敌意的遗传力。对于整个敌意量表及其健康预测成分，结果与中等程度的遗传效应一致。从遗传和环境对该特质发展的影响，以及敌意与后续健康之间关联的可能遗传贡献方面对结果进行了讨论。
