“…This sample consisted of parents who were identical and fraternal twins and of a small subsample of parents who were adoptive siblings. The findings from this study were somewhat different from the findings from studies with child-based designs and from the report by Kendler (1996) in that genetic and nonshared environmental influences were of primary importance for all of the constructs of parenting examined: warmth and support, negative control, and global control as assessed by the Family Environment Scale (Moos & Moos, 1983). For none of the constructs examined were shared environmental influences indicated.…”

This study examined 2 samples of adolescents and mothers using a child-based design (Nonshared Environment in Adolescent Development [NEAD] project, N = 395 families) and a parent-based design (Twin Moms [TM] project, N = 236 twin family pairs) to compare genetic and environmental influences on mothering. For both samples, the same measures of positivity, negativity, control, and monitoring were used. The use of matched child-based and parent-based samples enabled passive and nonpassive genotype-environment (GE) correlations to be approximated, providing information about process. Passive GE correlations were suggested for mother's positivity and monitoring. For mother's negativity and control, primarily nonpassive GE correlations were suggested. In several cases, both types of GE correlation were indicated. Finally, observer ratings of negativity and monitoring were influenced only by environmental factors.

“…The architectural and interior design professions emphasize the importance of the design of the space within built environments and the way in which the organization of space affects human behavior. Supportive interpersonal relationships in work and family settings are associated with better individual and family functioning (Moos & Moos, 1983). Residential environments should be designed with considerable flexibility in order to contribute to an optimum family social climate and to the reduction of stress.…”

The intent of this study is to examine the relationship between perceived environmental stress and family social climate according to stage in the life cycle for families living in similar space arrangements in multifamily dwellings. Eighty-four randomly selected families living in similar married-student housing units located in a large midwestem university were interviewed using two questionnaires: Family Space Inventory (FSI) (Melson & Kemp, 1976) and The Family Environment Scale (FES) (Moos, 1974). Results of the FSI indicate that early-stage families perceived less stress in their residential setting and made fewer adaptations to their dwellings than did crowded-stage families. Results of the FES in this study indicate that high cohesiveness and expressiveness as well as low conflict are integrated dimensions of family social climate. Early-stage families are more cohesive, more expressive, and more independent than crowded-stage families.

“…Relationship taps intermember support, open emotional expression, and conflictual interrelations in the family environment; Personal Growth assesses the underlying developmental directions and personal goals toward which the setting is oriented; and System Maintenance reflects the degree of structure, clarity, and openness to change that characterizes the family (Moos & Moos, 1983). The personal growth domain assesses how change has been channeled through the family system, spurring family members to invest effort in achieving new goals and indulging in cultural or leisure activities.…”

The present study aimed to identify subtypes of the learning disabilities (LD) syndrome by examining classroom behavior and family climate among four groups of Israeli students ranging in age from 7 to 10 years: 22 students with LD and hyperactive behavior (HB), 22 nonhyperactive students with LD, 20 nondisabled students with HB, and 20 nondisabled nonhyperactive students. Schaefer's Classroom Behavior Inventory and Moos's Family Environmental Scale were administered to teachers and mothers, respectively. The results revealed that higher distractibility and hostility among both groups with HB differentiated between the two groups with LD. Families of children with HB were reported as less supportive and as emphasizing control less. The academic competence and temperament of the nondisabled students with HB were rated as similar to those of the two groups of students with LD. Both groups with LD were characterized by dependent interpersonal relations and by more conflictual families who fostered more achievement but less personal growth.
