摘要：Perceptions of social closeness and familiarity were assessed among 44 monozygotic (MZA) and 33 dizygotic (DZA) reunited twin pairs, and several individual twins and triplets. Significantly greater MZA than DZA closeness and familiarity were found. Closeness and familiarity ratings for co-twins exceeded those for nonbiological siblings with whom twins were raised. Correlations between perceptions of physical resemblance and social closeness and familiarity were positive and statistically significant. However, most correlations between social relatedness and contact time were non-significant. Associations between social relatedness and similarities in selected behavioral traits were also examined. The findings support various theoretical perspectives anticipating greater affiliation among close relatives than distant relatives.
