In this article, we describe three emerging trends in the application of behavioral genetic methods to the study of temperament. The trends-using multiple methods to assess temperament, considering contextual influences on temperament, and evaluating the structure of temperament-have been well studied in the phenotypic literature, but adding a behavioral genetic perspective can enrich our understanding of temperament. We review recent behavioral genetic research in each of these areas and discuss its implications.
在本文中,我们描述了行为遗传学方法在气质研究应用中的三个新趋势。这些趋势——使用多种方法评估气质、考虑情境对气质的影响以及评估气质的结构——在表型文献中已有充分研究,但增加行为遗传学视角可以丰富我们对气质的理解。我们回顾了这些领域中近期的行为遗传学研究并讨论其意义。
