(2018): Transforming infant wellbeing. Research, policy and practice for the first 1001 critical days. Abingdon, Oxon; New York, NY: Routledge
Abstract: Any system is most flexible while being built. Human brains under construction are designed to rapidly adapt to the family setting. Babies have no comparisons, and the quality of relationships is the prime component of their world. For the first years of life parents lend their brains to their child, sliding their unconscious into this growing mind. ‘From a basic biological perspective, the child’s neuronal system—the structure and functioning of the developing brain—is shaped by the parent’s more mature brain. This occurs within emotional communication’. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved) zitiert von 237

(2015): Genetics of social behavior
Abstract: Discusses theoretical assumptions underlying the research of genetic influences on social behavior. The authors argue that the vast majority of traits and conditions that show genetic influences are not hard-wired, genetically determined, or innate. Most genetically influenced conditions involve genetic variants, and these may be expressed differently depending on influences from other variants, environmental circumstances, and whether the individual has control over those circumstances. Experiments typically assign participants to artificially constructed laboratory situations under the assumption that it does not matter who is placed where because on average everyone will respond the same way in any given situation. Studies are now being redesigned with the recognition that individuals may exert considerable control over whether and how a situation develops at all, as well as how it turns out. It is often incorrectly assumed that genetic and environmental influence act independently of each other. Because individuals almost always have some control, conscious or not, over the environments they experience, G x E and gene-environment correlation (rGE) will generally be linked at least to some degree. zitiert von 1
