Some early studies found associations between drawing performance and motor skills, but few recent investigations have detected meaningful relationships with cognitive ability. Furthermore, few twin studies have considered a genetic component to scores on drawing tests. The present study is the first to undertake these analyses using adult reared-apart twins. Both drawing-derived IQ scores and Wechsler IQ scores were available for reared-apart monozygotic (MZA, <i>N</i> = 71) twin pairs and reared-apart dizygotic (DZA: <i>N</i> = 53) twin pairs from the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart (MISTRA). Intraclass correlations for the drawing-derived performance scores were modest, but significantly higher for MZA (<i>r</i><sub>i</sub> = .31, <i>p</i> < .01) than DZA twin pairs (<i>r</i><sub>i</sub> = .02, ns), <i>p</i> < .001. Intraclass correlations for the Draw-a-Person IQ score (DAP:IQ) showed the same pattern. Finally, the correlation between the drawing-derived IQ scores and Wechsler IQ scores was quite small with a low effect size, but statistically significant (<i>r</i> = .15, <i>p</i> = .02). These findings suggest modest genetic influence on drawing performance. Like most previous studies of nontwins, little meaningful or practical association between the two IQ measures was indicated.</p>","PeriodicalId":54827,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetic Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144058098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results revealed that parental emotional warmth was negatively correlated with smartphone addiction, whereas parental rejection and over-protection were positively correlated with smartphone addiction.

Additionally, shyness and loneliness acted as chain mediators in the relationship between the two parenting styles-emotional warmth and over-protection-and smartphone addiction.
