摘要： 自尊是个体差异的一个重要方面, 迄今已有许多研究从行为遗传学角度探讨自尊个体差异的来源。通过梳理现有关于自尊的双生子研究, 发现：1)自尊有中等的遗传度, 其个体差异来自遗传和非共享环境; 2)遗传对自尊的稳定性有较大作用; 3)自尊与认知、情感的联系主要源自共同的遗传基础。总之, 遗传对自尊具有重要影响。未来双生子研究可拓展到自尊波动性、内隐自尊等领域, 并考虑极端人群的遗传特异性和文化对自尊遗传性的影响。

Abstract: As an important aspect of individual difference, self-esteem has attracted increasing attentions from behavioral genetic scientists. In this paper, we reviewed twin studies on self-esteem and found that: 1) self-esteem is moderately heritable, though non-shared environmental factors also make a difference; 2) the stability of self-esteem is largely genetically determined; 3) the associations between self-esteem and cognition as well as affect are mainly genetically caused. Together, genetic influences on self-esteem are essential. Future twin study may pay more attention to the heritability of self-esteem fluctuation and implicit self-esteem on one hand, and the specificity of people from extreme sub-groups and those from different cultures on the other hand.
