Despite cross-cultural universality of core human values, individuals differ substantially in value priorities, whereas family members show similar priorities to some degree. The latter has often been attributed to intrafamilial socialization. The analysis of self-ratings on eight core values from 399 twin pairs (ages 7-11) and their biological parents (388 mothers, 249 fathers; ages 26-65) allowed the disentanglement of environmental from genetic transmission accounting for family resemblance in value orientations. Results indicated that parent-child similarity is primarily due to shared genetic makeup. The primary source of variance in value priorities represented environmental influences that are not shared by family members. These findings do not provide evidence for parental influences beyond genetic influences contributing to intrafamilial similarity in value priorities.
尽管人类核心价值观具有跨文化的普遍性，但个体在价值优先级上存在很大差异，而家庭成员在一定程度上表现出相似的优先级。后者通常归因于家庭内部的社会化。对399对双胞胎（7至11岁）及其亲生父母（388位母亲、249位父亲；26至65岁）对八项核心价值观的自我评分进行分析，有助于区分环境因素和基因传递因素，从而解释价值取向中的家庭相似性。结果表明，亲子相似性主要归因于共享的基因构成。价值优先级差异的主要来源是家庭成员未共享的环境影响。这些发现并未提供证据表明，除基因影响外，父母的影响会导致家庭内部在价值优先级上的相似性。
