Text

As shown in Table 1 and Figure 2, nonshared environmental influences jointly influenced multiple correlated psychopathology dimensions to a modest extent, but the majority of the nonshared environmental variance was unique for most dimensions. Exceptions are ODD, which was found to share half of its nonshared environmental variance with higher-order factors, and MDD and GAD, which had the highest loadings on the global E factor and small unique E variances. This suggests that nonshared environmental influences on MDD and GAD are mostly not unique to them in this age range.
