Inclusion of Specific Environmental and Endophenotypic Variables in Behavior Genetic Models Standard behavior genetic analyses represent genetic and environmental influences as unspecif ied, anonymous, or ‘‘black box’’ variables. Kendler notes that the statistical power to detect shared environmental influences is low in such standard models, whereas incorporating specified environmental variables within a behavior genetic model […]
