Abstract
Responsibility and cooperativeness are constrained, not determined.
Highlights
In the last decades, voices from the scientific community have advocated rejection of free will and personal responsibility (e.g., Cashmore, 2010)
We used data from a populationbased cohort of 15-year old twin pairs, to assess genetic and environmental impact on self-reported Self-directedness and Cooperativeness by classic twin methodology
Self-directedness and Cooperativeness are highly predictive of mental health problems across diagnostic categories (Cloninger et al, 1993)
Summary
Voices from the scientific community have advocated rejection of free will and personal responsibility (e.g., Cashmore, 2010). We used data from a populationbased cohort of 15-year old twin pairs, to assess genetic and environmental impact on self-reported Self-directedness and Cooperativeness by classic twin methodology (this data was published in Garcia et al, 2013). We describe the variation of these character traits in monozygotic vs dizygotic co-twins of individuals with extremely low scores in Self-directedness and Cooperativeness.
