We compare a recent Danish twin survey on political attitudes and behaviors to a nationally representative survey covering similar topics. We find very similar means and variances for most of our constructed scales of political attitudes and behaviors in the two surveys, although even small differences tend to be statistically significant due to sample size. This suggests that the twin study can be used to make inferences on the heritability of several political traits in the Danish population.
我们将丹麦最近一项关于政治态度和行为的双胞胎调查与一项涵盖类似主题的全国代表性调查进行了比较。我们发现，在这两项调查中，我们构建的大多数政治态度和行为量表的均值和方差非常相似，尽管由于样本量的原因，即使是很小的差异在统计上也往往具有显著性。这表明，双胞胎研究可用于推断丹麦人口中几种政治特征的遗传性。
