Source
Investigation of genetically mediated child effects on maltreatment.

yes

Text

Due to low endorsement rates of sexual maltreatment, and therefore small cell sizes when analyzing genders separately, only the results of the homogeneity model of sexual maltreatment are presented. The results suggest that almost one quarter of the variance in sexual maltreatment is due to the shared environment and three quarters is due to the nonshared environment. There is no evidence of genetically-driven child effects.
