摘要
In this article, we describe three emerging trends in the application of behavioral genetic methods to the study of temperament. The trendsusing multiple methods to assess temperament, considering contextual influences on temperament, and evaluating the structure of temperamenthave been well studied in the phenotypic literature, but adding a behavioral genetic perspective can enrich our understanding of temperament. We review recent behavioral genetic research in each of these areas and discuss its implications.
