QUANTITATIVE GENETICS IN PSYCHOLOGY
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, 1971The following paper proposes a simple theoretical model, capable of progressive expansion, to serve as a basis for the statistical investigation of mental inheritance. Formulae are deduced for the analysis of phenotypic variances, and for estimating the covariances and correlations between relatives of different degrees of kinship.

Quantitative Traits and Quantitative Genetics
2014In contrast with qualitative or dichotomous traits, quantitative traits are measured using quantitative or semi-quantitative variables and their inheritance is controlled by multiple genes acting independently or in association. Quantitative traits are also influenced to varying degrees by the environment and this explains why they are often designated

Quantitative genetics: A critique
Social Biology, 1979Abstract The quantitative aspects of human genetics have hitherto been confined to (1) Mendelian categorization of qualities, which is enumerative and best applied to single‐locus conditions; and (2) Galtonian analysis, which is an examination of the first and second moments of quantities and best applied to multiple‐locus conditions.

AbstractIn this chapter the authors consider the theoretical basis of inheritance and possible sources of phenotypic variation and familial resemblance. The investigation of the genetic basis of psychiatric disorders first requires us to examine to what extent genes and environment contribute to a given disorder or trait.

Abstract Quantitative genetics has traditionally been based on investigations of continuous or ‘metric’ phenotypes, where there are measurable differences between individuals, rather than on phenotypes that are simply present or absent (Falconer and Mackay 1996).

The quantitative genetics of disgust sensitivity.
Emotion, 2016[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 16(1) of Emotion (see record 2015-57029-001). In the article, the name of author Joshua M. Tybur was misspelled as Joshua M. Tyber. All versions of this article have been corrected.] Response sensitivity to common disgust elicitors varies considerably among individuals.

Understanding quantitative genetic variation
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2002Until recently, it was impracticable to identify the genes that are responsible for variation in continuous traits, or to directly observe the effects of their different alleles. Now, the abundance of genetic markers has made it possible to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL)--the regions of a chromosome or, ideally, individual sequence variants ...

Sewall Wright and quantitative genetics
Genome, 1989Some aspects of Wright's great contribution to quantitative genetics and animal breeding are reviewed in relation to current research and practice. Particular aspects discussed are as follows: the utility of his definition of inbreeding coefficient in terms of the correlation of uniting gametes; the maintenance of genetic variation in the optimum ...
