The possible problem I see with kinship studies twin studies and adoption studies is the confounding variables Twins do not necessarily have the same upbringing even when they live with the same parents As the twins become older there s a chance that their friendships interests and relationships will diverge more Another issue with twin studies and adoption studies involves generalisability Twin study findings don t necessarily apply to a larger group It s not always the case that twins represent all people Twin studies frequently use the assumption that identical and fraternal twins grow up in comparable environments For the second prompt I think Heirability is meant to be a measurement of how well variations in an individual s genes explain variations in their attributes such as height eye color and intelligence traits To a person with no background in psychology I would say that heritability is the degree to which traits are inherited or I could say heritability is the physical traits that parents pass on to their children
