Nature and Nurture During Middle Childhood

Presents the most recent findings from the Colorado Adoption Project, a large-scale, longitudinal adoption study begun in 1975, which tracked the children, biological and adoptive parents, and home environments of 245 adoptive families and 245 matched non-adoptive families. Its design facilitated unparalleled analyses of genetic and environmental influences on development via both parent-offspring and sibling comparisons, and longitudinal and multivariate assessments.
