2.2.1: Twin and Adoption Studies
Watch this video regarding twin studies. Although researchers are working to expand and develop twin study designs and statistical methods, the assumptions question- twin study is that of equal environment, it remains a stumbling block for some researchers. However, many researchers agree that twin studies will continue to be an important tool, alongside emerging genome and molecular research methods, in shedding light on human behavioral genetics.
