"The Relationship Code" is the report of a longitudinal study,
conducted over a ten-year period, of the influence of family
relationships and genetic factors on competence and psychopathology
in adolescent development. The sample for this landmark study
included 720 pairs of same-sex adolescent siblings--including
twins, half siblings, and genetically unrelated siblings--and their
parents.
Using a clear expressive style, David Reiss and his
coinvestigators identify specific mechanisms that link genetic
factors and the social environment in psychological development.
They propose a striking hypothesis: family relationships are
crucial to the expression of genetic influences on a broad array of
complex behaviors in adolescents. Moreover, this role of family
relationships may be very specific: some genetic factors are linked
to mother-child relationships, others to father-child relations,
some to relationship warmth, while others are linked to
relationship conflict or control. The specificity of these links
suggests that family relationships may constitute a code for
translating genetic influences into the ontogeny of behaviors, a
code every bit as important for behavior as DNA-RNA.
