| Abstract |
Previous research suggests an association between hyperactivity-impulsivity - one of the two behavioral dimensions that form attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - and the temperament characteristic of novelty seeking. We aimed to examine etiological links underlying the co-occurrence between these behaviors using a general population sample of 668 twin pairs, ages 7-10, for whom we obtained parent ratings in middle childhood; and pilot longitudinal data on 76 children. Structural equation modeling confirmed a shared genetic etiology (genetic correlation, r(D) = 0.81; 95% confidence intervals = 0.34-1.00) and showed that much (64%) of the covariation can be accounted for by shared genetic effects. In addition, causal paths were modeled between the two behaviors; 12% of the variance in novelty seeking at age 7 was accounted for by hyperactive-impulsive behaviors at the same age. The causal effects model fits with the current characterization of hyperactive-impulsive behaviors reflecting a heightened need for stimulation. This has important implications for the management of hyperactive-impulsive behaviors in clinical settings. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 February 2012.
All research outputs
#15,241,801
of 22,662,201 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Genetics
#5,367
of 11,727 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#140,041
of 180,278 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Genetics
#33
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,662,201 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,727 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 180,278 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
