“…What we have to compare is either on cruder, pioneer data [Cattell et al, 1957, on UI 17 and 19 only] or by different analysis methods -least squares and OSES [Cattell, et al, 1981a, b, c, d It has been argued elsewhere [Cattell, 1981] that the error due to function fluctua tion and some other sources is likely (a) to lessen the range of H values across various traits [see also Loehlin, 1978] and (b) to lower the average heritability values some what from the true level. If we are to make the best estimate for theoretical inferences here we would, accordingly, call UI 17 very low heritability (perhaps 0.10), UI 16 ap preciable (perhaps 0.50), and UI 19 high (perhaps 0.60), which would bring it fairly close to the heritability of intelligence.…”

1,768 12- to 18-year-old boys, in pairs from five constellations (identical and fraternal twins, brothers, unrelated boys raised together and a random general population sample) were measured by the O-A (performance) personality battery on source traits UI 16, 17 and 19. Corrections were made for ages and test validities in computing observed variances. Nine equations were set up in the multiple abstract variance (MAVA) model giving expectancies from seven unknown abstract variances (genetic, threptic, and genothreptic covariances) with respect to observed variances. Maximum likelihood analysis showed that genetic or threptic contribution alone was unable to fit the data, and the best fit was given by a parsimonious form of MAVA dropping genothreptic correlations. Population heritabilities calculated on this basis were 0.46 for UI 16 (ego assertion), 0.21 for UI 17 (control, upbringing), and 0.50 for UI 19 (independence). When compared with an earlier study by the O-A, but by a different analysis, and with the same data analyzed by tho other methods, a reasonably consistent conclusion emerges that UI 17 is little inherited, while UI 16 and UI 19 are rather strongly inherited. The contribution of the behavior-genetic evidence to the theories about these source traits is discussed. It is concluded that UI 16 is initially in development a temperament factor, probably with physiological associations in metabolic rate, etc.; that UI 19 is a strong and sex-related temperament factor, and that UI 17 is a sentiment pattern of cultured inhibition almost wholly dependent on family and social upbringing.

“…Rather, it pertains to a set of effective methodological approaches to project pheno typic variation along two meta-dimensions, genetic and environmental. As such, it resem bles the methodological approaches induced by Cattell's [1982] well-known three-mode cube. Behavior genetic models, conceived as a subset of structural equation models, have the distinguishing feature that they contain cer tain constants that are derived from wellestablished basic genetic facts (for instance, the genetic correlation within monozygotic twin pairs being fixed at one).…”
