Abstract The primary aim of this study was to conduct a bivariate genetic analysis investigating the extent to which genetic and environmental factors contribute to stability and change in personality factors in the period from adolescence to young adulthood on a sample of Croatian twins. The sample used in this research was formed in 1992 based on a register of citizens of Zagreb and data was collected for 160 twin pairs (75 monozygotic and 85 dizygotic twin pairs). Twins were tested twice, 4…

An overview of the literature documents the demonstration of genetic bases for stability of certain personality dimensions, evidence suggesting that the most influential environmental sources of variation are those not jointly experienced by family members, and continuing controversy regarding the convergence of genetic results for different assessment strategies and different developmental periods.
