The Etiology of Personality Function: The University of British Columbia Twin Project (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
The UBC Twin Project is an extensive investigation into the genetic and environmental underpinnings of personality and personality disorders, involving approximately 1000 adult twin pairs. The research aims to create and validate quantitative measures of personality disorders, moving beyond traditional classification systems like the DSM-III. The project explores complex relationships between personality traits and psychopathologies, utilizing multivariate and genetic analyses to identify specific genetic influences on personality and enhance diagnostic measures. Current efforts focus on reconstructing personality assessment tools to incorporate genetic dimensions, with broader implications for our understanding of personality disorders.
