Russia Revisited; Research Reviews: Faces, Hearts and Minds; of Multiple Interest

Abstract

Twin researchers from Russia have announced new opportunities for research collaboration at the Psychological Institute of the Russian Academy of Education, in Moscow. Members of the laboratory are also establishing Moscow's first Psychological Twins counseling room to facilitate practical activities, such as parental advisement and teacher training. Reference is also made to the work of twin researcher, Bronson Price, who spent several years at the Medico-Genetical Research Institute in Moscow. His papers are available at the library of the American Philosophical Society, in Philadelphia. Brief reviews of twin studies involving facial asymmetry and parental favoritism, social relationships and disputed memories are also presented. The article concludes with a look at several twin-related human interest items.
