This study examined the structural and genetic links between value orientations, based on the theory of basic values, and moral concerns, based on moral foundations theory. We hypothesized both structural and genetic convergence of Conservation (versus openness to change) with Binding foundations and of Self-transcendence (versus self-enhancement) with Individualizing foundations. We analyzed self- and informant ratings from 924 participants with extended multitrait-multirater modeling and ran twin model analyses on self-ratings from 555 twin pairs. For Conservation and Binding foundations, we found partial convergence across different rater perspectives and a substantial genetic overlap, but also distinct genetic factors. Self-transcendence and Individualizing foundations were found to be structurally divergent, but genetically linked. We discuss the conceptual and measurement-related implications of the findings.

这项研究检查了基于基本价值理论的价值取向与基于道德基础理论的道德关注之间的结构和遗传联系。我们假设具有约束力的基础的保守性（相对于变化的开放性）和具有个性化基础的自我超越性（相对于自我增强）的结构和遗传收敛。我们使用扩展的多特征多评分者模型分析了924名参与者的自我和知情者评分，并对555对双胞胎的自我评分进行了孪生模型分析。对于保育和约束力基金会，我们发现不同评估者观点之间存在部分趋同，并且存在大量的遗传重叠，但也存在独特的遗传因素。发现自我超越和个体化基础在结构上是不同的，但是在遗传上是相关的。
