Models were fit to the raw data using full information maximum likelihood estimation as implemented in the computer program Mx55 which allows for missing data and yields less biased parameter estimates than other procedures56. The EXT composite was log transformed to better approximate normality. We followed standard behavior genetic analytic procedures by regressing all variables on sex, age, age2, and the interactions of sex and the age variables prior to analyses57.
