TL;DR
A model is developed to specify the environmental effect of one sibling on another for a polygenic trait that is detectable in principle and the approach is illustrated with twin data relating to psychoticism.
Abstract
A model is developed to specify the environmental effect of one sibling on another for a polygenic trait. Such effects are detectable in priniciple and the approach is illustrated with twin data relating to psychoticism. The relationship between the model and those employed in the treatment of kin selection is indicated.

A genetical mathematical model is described which allows for interactions between relatives on one another's fitness and a quantity is found which incorporates the maximizing property of Darwinian fitness, named “inclusive fitness”.

It is suggested that since behaviour favours the survival of the group and not of the individual it must have evolved by a process of group selection.
