The final maternal negativity model included scalars to account for variance differences between the sexes for physical aggression and depression. The genetic components of this model are presented in Fig. 2. The full correlated factors model is included as a table in the Appendix (Table 6). As shown in Fig. 2 maternal negativity had a genetic correlation with oppositionality of 0.57 (95 % confidence interval; 0.40, 0.82), with delinquency of 0.52 (0.27, 0.80), with physical aggression of 0.07 (−0.15, 0.41), with depression of 0.59 (0.32, 0.96), and with anxiety of 0.47 (0.17, 0.79). In the Cholesky decomposition the vast majority of the genetic variance in maternal negativity was accounted for by its association with the behavioural phenotypes included in the model—the residual genetic estimate suggested only 1 % was unaccounted for and the 95 % confidence interval ranged from 0.00 to 0.24, indicating non-significance.
