One of the results from the abstract were interesting:
"The heritability did differ across informants, with stronger heritability estimates based on parent report versus self-report or observations."
Parents see their kids differently than the kids see them selves I guess? I wonder if we tend to compare our kids to their siblings when we report on things like this. I wonder if only children would have different parent reported traits on things like this? I guess we all see ourselves different than others see us.
- carbocation 7y agoWe are probably not the most accurate observers of our external behaviors, since it’s too easy for us to mix memories of those with our internal state.
- yosefk 7y agoI think this quote basically says that "a parent's self-control correlates strongly with the parent's perception of a child's self-control" and this somewhat undermines the conclusion wrt heritability.
