Chunk #13 — Results — What is the Extent of Genetic and Environmental Influences on maltreatment?

Source
Investigation of genetically mediated child effects on maltreatment.

yes

Text

Table 6 presents parameter estimates from the homogeneity and heterogeneity saturated models. Results of both models for composite maltreatment suggest that genetically driven child effects are small, and almost thirty percent of the variance is due to shared and twin environmental influences. Two-thirds of the variance is due to nonshared environmental influences and measurement error.
