The broad goal of our 10 year project has been to study influences from a developing child's social environment on certain adolescent "transition behaviors." During years 8-10 we are conducting an Intra-Generational Study using the NLSY-Youth that considers several types of family influence On important transition behaviors--sexuality, smoking, drinking, and delinquency. We combine two innovations in this research. First, we have recently identified previously undefined kinship links in the NLSY data for a number of different levels of biological relatedness. Second, we have extended a behavioral genetic approach -- DF Analysis (DeFries and Fulker, 1985) -- that permits control of genetic influences in the assessment of environmental influences. Separate theoretical extensions of DF Analysis account for both shared and nonshared environmental influences. The NLSY files are being used to construct a number of measures that will be used to test hypotheses of family environmental influence. In previous work we applied DF Analysis using the kinship links in the NLSY-Children dataset. The development of an algorithm to define genetic links among the original NLSY-Youth supports research on transition behaviors with this new methodology in a more broadly generalizable sample. Past research on the social influences on transition behaviors has not adequately accounted for genetic and environmental sources of confound, as we can with these data and methods. Our models unite a number of distinct sources of genetic and environmental influence into a single coherent analytic scheme.

我们10年项目的广泛目标是研究 在某些青少年的“过渡”上发展的儿童社交环境 行为。 使用考虑多种家庭的NLSY-Youth的研究 对重要过渡行为的影响 - 性，吸烟， 喝酒和犯罪。 我们在这项研究中结合了两项创新。 首先，我们最近确定了以前未定义的亲属链接 许多不同水平的生物学相关性的NLSY数据。 其次，我们扩展了行为遗传方法 - DF分析 （DeFries and Fulker，1985） - 允许控制遗传影响 在评估环境影响方面。 分开的理论 DF分析的扩展是共享和非共享的 环境影响。 NLSY文件用于构建一个 将用于检验家庭假设的措施数量 环境影响。 在先前的工作中，我们使用DF分析使用了DF分析 NLSY-CHILDREN数据集。 定义遗传的算法的开发 原始NLSY-Youth的链接支持过渡研究 在更广泛的概括中，这种新方法的行为 样本。 过去对社会对过渡行为的影响的研究 尚未充分考虑到遗传和环境的来源 就像我们可以使用这些数据和方法一样混淆。 我们的模型团结 遗传和环境影响的不同来源数量 单一相干分析方案。
