Adolescent sexual activity and the development of delinquent behavior: the role of relationship contextK Paige Harden
Department of Psychology, Population Research Center, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712, USA
J Youth Adolesc 40:825-38. 2011..These results are consistent with emerging research that suggests that the psychological correlates of adolescent sexual activity may be moderated by the social context in which this activity occurs...

Environmental and genetic pathways between early pubertal timing and dieting in adolescence: distinguishing between objective and subjective timingK P Harden
Department of Psychology, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712, USA
Psychol Med 42:183-93. 2012..Moreover, these mechanisms may differ between objective measures of pubertal development and girls' subjective perceptions of their own maturation...

Behav Genet 38:339-47. 2008..Moreover, adolescents who were genetically liable to substance use were more vulnerable to the adverse influences of their best friends--a gene-environment interaction...

Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, P O Box 400400, Charlottesville, VA, 22904 4400, USA
Behav Genet 39:461-71. 2009..We then reanalyze data from the National Collaborative Perinatal Project, previously used by Turkheimer et al. (2003; Psychol Science), with a two-step method to model both phenomena...
The effect of assumptions about parental assortative mating and genotype-income correlation on estimates of genotype-environment interaction in the National Merit Twin StudyJohn C Loehlin
Department of Psychology, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712 0187, USA
Behav Genet 39:165-9. 2009..Another possible explanation, a greater freedom of members of DZ pairs at higher income levels to follow independent interests, remained plausible...
Emergence of a Gene x socioeconomic status interaction on infant mental ability between 10 months and 2 yearsElliot M Tucker-Drob
Department of Psychology, University of Texas, Austin, TX, USA
Psychol Sci 22:125-33. 2011..At age 2 years, genes accounted for nearly 50% of the variation in mental ability of children raised in high-SES homes, but genes continued to account for negligible variation in mental ability of children raised in low-SES homes...
A behavior genetic investigation of adolescent motherhood and offspring mental health problemsK Paige Harden
Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, Charlottesvile, VA 29904 4400, USA
J Abnorm Psychol 116:667-83. 2007..The generalizability of these results to the United States, which has a higher adolescent birth rate, is discussed...

Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, P O Box 400400, Charlottesville, VA 22902, USA
J Abnorm Child Psychol 36:81-94. 2008..The association between alcohol use and peer behavior may be a spurious association attributable to a shared genetic liability to drink alcohol and associate with peers who drink alcohol...
Population density and youth antisocial behaviorK Paige Harden
Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, USA
J Child Psychol Psychiatry 50:999-1008. 2009..Rather, the association between population density and delinquency appears to be due to unmeasured selection variables that differ between families who live in more or less densely populated counties...

Department of Psychology and Population Research Center, University of Texas at Austin, USA
