Adoption study shows impact of young children's geneticmakeup on parents yale
are typically presumed to be genetic while similarities between rearing parents and children are presumed to be environmental.
. For example, adopted children of birth parents with highly assertive temperaments showed more anger, which elicited more parental hostility. This parental response led to increased behavioral problems in the child. Sequences such as these could be curtailed when parents had a satisfying marriage. A second theme of the findings is that children's genetic makeup influences the kind of parenting they need. For example, children in the study whose birth parents had a broad range of symptoms and behavior problems benefitted from highly structured parenting."In this form of parenting," commented Professor Leslie Leve, a principal investigator of EGDS at the University of Oregon,"parents give their children clear directions and help them focus their attention.
Finally, in addition to child effects, the study corroborated some important roles of parenting. A benefit of an adoption study design is that genes common to parents and children can be ruled out as causes of associations between rearing parents and their children. For example, adoptive parental harshness was associated with increased child aggression from age 27 months to 4.5 years. However, the effects were most pronounced for fathers and were not detected from child ages 4.5 to six years.
