Genetic research may have its greatest impact for clinicians and developmental researchers in terms of understanding the environment and how the environment relates to children's development. This review focuses on one example at the interface between nature and nurture. Recent research using diverse genetic designs shows that family environment as it is currently assessed involves a substantial contribution from genetic factors. Genetic factors also contribute to correlations between measures of the family environment and developmental outcomes. Implications of these findings are discussed.
就理解环境以及环境与儿童发展的关系而言，基因研究可能对临床医生和发展研究人员产生最大影响。本综述聚焦于先天与后天相互作用方面的一个例子。近期使用多种基因设计的研究表明，目前所评估的家庭环境包含大量来自基因因素的影响。基因因素也促成了家庭环境测量指标与发展结果之间的相关性。本文讨论了这些发现的意义。
