Gene and Environment Interaction in Relation to Children’s positive social skills, internalizing and externalizing behavior problems

 

Abstract

 

This study tested the moderation of children’s tryptophan hydroxylase on the path from family poverty, parent-child relationship, and child gender to children’s social-emotional behaviors (social skills, internalizing and externalizing behavior problems). 2,171 children from the FFCWS public and genetic data were analyzed through Mplus.
