Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1986 Jun;83(12):4364-8. doi: 10.1073/pnas.83.12.4364.

Abstract

Data gathered in Australia and England on the social attitudes of spouses and twins are largely consistent with a genetic model for family resemblance in social attitudes. There is substantial assortative mating and little evidence of vertical cultural inheritance.
