Longitudinal twin study shows child anger influences parental negativity in early childhood, suggesting genetic links.

This study aims to clarify the associations between child anger and parental negativity during early childhood.
Utilized a longitudinal twin design with 310 same-sex twin pairs.
Assessed participants yearly from ages 3 to 5 years.
Employed biometric autoregressive latent trajectory models to analyze data.
Increased child anger predicted higher parental negativity at the within-person level.
Parent-driven effects were not significant.
Findings indicated that child-driven effects were primarily genetic.

Liu et al. (2026) studied this question.
