Abstract
⺠This is the first study to identify a gene-environment interaction effect on self-esteem. ⺠Subjective measures of adolescent psychosocial environment did not predict self-esteem 5-years later in young adulthood. ⺠Observer ratings of home and neighborhood quality during adolescence predicted self-esteem level 5-years later. ⺠The serotonin transporter gene polymorphism moderated the effect of adolescent environment on adulthood self-esteem. ⺠The 'l/l' 5HTTLPR genotype was protective against environmental stress.
