Abstract

The provocative hypotheses put forth in Harris (1998) spawned a great deal of criticism within the field of child development but far less in the field of behavior genetics, which generally found her arguments quite persuasive. I considered whether 21st century behavioral genetic literature and understandings continued to support her hypotheses, and generally concluded that they did not, at least in regards to child and adolescent psychopathology. Early interpretations of behavioral genetic findings were more limited in scope than they realized at the time, applied only to WEIRD populations, and may have overlooked key etiologic information contained in the mean. What’s more, even when restricting to standard behavioral genetic designs and interpretations in WEIRD data, there is good evidence that parenting behaviors do “causally” shape adolescent mental health outcomes to some degree, and relatively little evidence that peers socialize adolescents via non-shared environmental pathways. Put another way, although group socialization theory remains interesting and worthy of additional study, other key elements of Harris (1998) may have been overstated or have not stood the test of time.

在 "养育假设 "中提出的假设激发了人们对父母和同伴的影响进行亟需的研究,但这些假设被夸大了
哈里斯(Harris,1998 年)一书中提出的富有启发性的假设在儿童发展领域引发了大量批评,但在行为遗传学领域却少得多,因为该领域普遍认为她的论点颇具说服力。我考虑了 21 世纪的行为遗传学文献和理解是否继续支持她的假设,得出的结论是,至少在儿童和青少年精神病理学方面,这些文献和理解并不支持她的假设。早期对行为遗传学研究结果的解释在范围上比他们当时所意识到的更为有限,只适用于 "我们 "人群,而且可能忽略了平均值中包含的关键病因学信息。更重要的是,即使局限于标准的行为遗传设计和对 WEIRD 数据的解释,也有充分证据表明,养育行为确实在一定程度上 "因果 "影响了青少年的心理健康结果,而同伴通过非共享环境途径使青少年社会化的证据则相对较少。换句话说,尽管群体社会化理论仍然很有趣,值得进一步研究,但 Harris(1998 年)的其他关键要素可能被夸大了,或者没有经受住时间的考验。
