Children's methods of coping with stress: a twin study of genetic and environmental influences
Article Abstract:
Genetic factors, and shared and unshared environmental factors differentially impact the coping strategies used by monozygotic and zygotic children. Heritability accounts for the reliable variance in coping variables, such as Self-Soothe, Use of Distraction, Use of Parents and number of Problem-focused coping alternatives generated. Shared environment shows impact on only one variable, Emotion-focused alternatives generated, while unshared environment influences the Use of Peers and the Problem-Solve variables, suggesting a nonsignificant role of environmental factors.
