Publications
Genetic factor analyses of specific cognitive abilities in 5-year-old Dutch childrenM J Rietveld
Department of Biological Psychology, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Behav Genet 30:29-40. 2000..The phenotypic data was best described by an oblique two-factor model. This model was not mirrored in the factor structures found for either the genetic or environmental covariances...
Zygosity diagnosis in young twins by parental reportM J Rietveld
Vrije Universiteit, Department of Biological Psychology, Amsterdam
Twin Res 3:134-41. 2000..Analyses of data provided by both parents and collected over multiple ages did not result in better prediction of zygosity. Details on the discriminant function are provided...
Heritability of attention problems in children: longitudinal results from a study of twins, age 3 to 12M J H Rietveld
Department of Biological Psychology, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Child Psychol Psychiatry 45:577-88. 2004..In the present longitudinal twin study, we report on the size of genetic and environmental effects on individual differences in attention problems at ages 3, 7, 10 and 12 years...
Heritability of attention problems in children: I. cross-sectional results from a study of twins, age 3-12 yearsM J H Rietveld
Department of Biological Psychology, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet 117:102-13. 2003..The implications of these findings are discussed with reference to the clinical setting and in the context of future research...
ADHD: sibling interaction or dominance: an evaluation of statistical powerM J H Rietveld
Department of Biological Psychology, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Behav Genet 33:247-55. 2003....
A twin study of differentiation of cognitive abilities in childhoodM J H Rietveld
Department of Biological Psychology, Vrije Universiteit, Van der Boechorststraat 1, 1081 BT Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Behav Genet 33:367-81. 2003..Stability in subtest performance is due mainly to genetic influences. The shared environment contribution to phenotypic stability is small. The unique environment contributes to age-specific variance only...
Co-occurrence of aggressive behavior and rule-breaking behavior at age 12: multi-rater analysesM Bartels
Dept. of Psychology, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Behav Genet 33:607-21. 2003..So, co-occurrence in AGG and RB is mainly caused by a common set of genes. Parental disagreement seems to be a combination of so-called rater bias and of parental specific views...
Individual differences in aggression: genetic analyses by age, gender, and informant in 3-, 7-, and 10-year-old Dutch twinsJ J Hudziak
Departments of Psychiatry and Medicine, Division of Human Genetics, Center for Children Youth and Families, University of Vermont, College of Medicine, Burlington Vermont 05405, USA
Behav Genet 33:575-89. 2003..Contributions of common (13%-27%) and unique (16%-31%) environment were small to moderate. There was some evidence of genetic dominance by teacher report for 10-year-old girls...
Genetic and environmental influences on the development of intelligenceM Bartels
Department of Biological Psychology, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Behav Genet 32:237-49. 2002..Shared environmental influences are responsible for stability as well as change in the development of cognitive abilities, represented by a common factor influencing FSIQ at all ages and age-specific influences, respectively...
Genetic and environmental mechanisms underlying stability and change in problem behaviors at ages 3, 7, 10, and 12M Bartels
Department of Biological Psychology, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Dev Psychol 40:852-67. 2004..Significant age-specific influences were found for all components, indicating that genetic and environmental factors also contributed to changes in problem behavior...
