Behavioral genetics and child temperament.

TL;DR: Recent findings from behavioral genetics research in temperament that go well beyond the basic nature-nurture question are described, including the importance of nonshared environmental influences on temperament, genetic continuity and environmental change during development, and harnessing the power of molecular genetics to identify specific genes responsible for genetic influence on early temperament.
