Behavior Genetics Association
The purpose of the Behavior Genetics Association is to promote the scientific study of the
interrelationship of genetic mechanisms and behavior, both human and animal; to encourage
and aid the education and training of research workers in the field of behavior genetics; and to
aid in the dissemination and interpretation to the general public of knowledge concerning the
interrelationship of genetics and behavior, and its implications for health and human
development and education.
