Abstract:
We introduce the special section on "Genetics and Epigenetics in Family Context." It is noted that family researchers are incorporating genetic factors in their research with increasing frequency. The current special section includes contributions from behavioral genetic, molecular genetic, and epigenetic perspectives, reflecting the diversity of methodologies that are currently being applied to the study of genetic contributions to family processes and outcomes. The special section is both an acknowledgment of the increasing prominence of genetic factors in family models as well as an effort to highlight different approaches and foster greater cross-pollination between approaches.
