Hugh Scott Hamilton Chair of Psychology

Turkheimer’s research spans adoptees, twins, siblings, parents and children to investigate intelligence, personality, psychopathology and family dynamics. His work combines quasi-experimental design, statistical modeling, empirical synthesis and philosophy of science.

His overarching goal is to explore the possibilities—and the limitations—of behavior genetics as a way to expand the scope and rigor of human behavioral science.
