Chaotic homes and school achievement: a twin study / Ken B. HANSCOMBE in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 52-11 (November 2011)
[article]
Titre : Chaotic homes and school achievement: a twin study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ken B. HANSCOMBE, Auteur ; Claire Margaret Alison HAWORTH, Auteur ; Oliver S.P. DAVIS, Auteur ; Sara R. JAFFEE, Auteur ; Robert PLOMIN, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1212-1220 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Gene–environment correlation household chaos environmental confusion home environment school achievement twin studies behavioural genetics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Chaotic homes predict poor school performance. Given that it is known that genes affect both children’s experience of household chaos and their school achievement, to what extent is the relationship between high levels of noise and environmental confusion in the home, and children’s school performance, mediated by heritable child effects? This is the first study to explore the genetic and environmental pathways between household chaos and academic performance.
Method: Children’s perceptions of family chaos at ages 9 and 12 and their school performance at age 12 were assessed in more than 2,300 twin pairs. The use of child-specific measures in a multivariate genetic analysis made it possible to investigate the genetic and environmental origins of the covariation between children’s experience of chaos in the home and their school achievement.
Results: Children’s experience of family chaos and their school achievement were significantly correlated in the expected negative direction (r = −.26). As expected, shared environmental factors explained a large proportion (63%) of the association. However, genetic factors accounted for a significant proportion (37%) of the association between children’s experience of household chaos and their school performance.
Conclusions: The association between chaotic homes and poor performance in school, previously assumed to be entirely environmental in origin, is in fact partly genetic. How children’s home environment affects their academic achievement is not simply in the direction environment → child → outcome. Instead, genetic factors that influence children’s experience of the disordered home environment also affect how well they do at school. The relationship between the child, their environment and their performance at school is complex: both genetic and environmental factors play a role.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2011.02421.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=145
