Can persistence be shaped? We report sizable shared environmental effects of persistence in a self-report measure from the Tennessee Twin Study (N=212) and a task-based measure from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N=12,686). Both studies show persistence has substantial shared environmental effects, implying that experience can shape the trait.
