Oxytocin receptor polymorphism influences characterization of harm avoidance by moderating susceptibility to affectionless control parenting

Abstract Introduction Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene polymorphism reportedly moderates effects of negative environments during childhood on mental function and behavior such as depressive symptoms and externalizing problems. This study examined OXTR gene polymorphism effects on personality traits in...

Post‐hoc analysis revealed that the harm avoidance scores were increased in a stepwise manner with respect to the increase of the number of AC parents in the A allele carriers.
