A number of useful methods for analyzing covariance structure have been proposed in the studies of human behavior genetics, reflecting the fact that the behavior genetic studies are one of the main origins of covariance structure model. In this paper, I review recent progress on methodology for behavior genetic studies of twins and families from the standpoint of the structural equation modeling. Especially, genetic ACE (additive genetic, common environment and random environment) model, multivariate ACE model, genetic factor analysis model and twin-parent model are focused upon. This review also discusses how to construct applied structural equation models which are useful for psychological research.
在人类行为遗传学研究中已经提出了许多用于分析协方差结构的有用方法，这反映出行为遗传学研究是协方差结构模型的主要起源之一。在本文中，我从结构方程建模的角度回顾了双胞胎和家庭行为遗传学研究方法的最新进展。特别关注遗传ACE（加性遗传、共同环境和随机环境）模型、多变量ACE模型、遗传因素分析模型和双亲和子代模型。本综述还讨论了如何构建对心理学研究有用的应用结构方程模型。
