What were the overall findings of the twin studies conducted in the mid-1900s? Why were these findings strongly criticized?
What will be an ideal response?
MZ twins were far more similar in the trait of criminality than were DZ (fraternal) twins. Identical twins are typically dressed the same by their parents, as well as treated the same by the public and are generally expected to behave the same. This is not true for fraternal twins, namely those of different genders. Also, the identification of twins as fraternal or identical was flawed because it was determined by sight (not a scientific measure).
