青少年焦虑、抑郁与偏差行为的行为遗传学研究

The Advance of Behavioral Genetics Studies on Adolescent Anxiety, Depression and Deviant Behaviors

焦虑、抑郁和偏差行为等问题的行为遗传学研究有助于了解人类情绪与行为受遗传和环境交互影响的内在机制。近年来,行为遗传学研究方法的迅速发展使科学家们能够更深入地探讨了基因与环境的作用和影响。文章了分析了焦虑、抑郁和偏差行为的行为遗传学研究进展,介绍了国内外双生子研究的发展情况,提出在我国建立双生子数据库,开展有关青少年焦虑、抑郁和偏差行为的行为遗传学研究。

Behavioral genetics researches on adolescent emotional and behavioral problems have shown that both genetic and enviormental influences on depression, anxiety and deviant behaviors. For the last two decades, the new advances of behavioral genetics methods have provided researchers better opportunities to elucidate the mechanisms of gene and enviomment interactions. It is also a opportune time for psychologists to be involved in the investiagtion of the effect of gene and enviomment interaction on psychological development. We reviewed the current status of related researches and discussed the significance of developing Chinese twin registry for carrying out behavioral genetics research on adolescent emotional and behavioral problems.
