The big question in human development intervention, juslike in modern medicine, is What works for whom? Although it is well appreciated that interventions do not succeed with all whom they reach, a common presumption as to why they often prove less effective than anticipated focuses on poor implementation. There can be no doubt that fidelity to program model matters greatly. Nevertheless, an expanding body of experimental-intervention research (e.g., Beach, Brody, Lei, & Philibert, 2010; Kegel, Bus, & van IJzendoorn, 2011), building directly on theory regarding differential susceptibility to environmental influences and observational evidence to this effect (Belsky, Bakermans-Kranenburg, & van IJzendoorn, 2007; Belsky & Pluess, 2009, 2013; Ellis, Boyce, Belsky, Bakermans-Kranenburg, & van IJzendoorn, 2011), makes it clear that characteristics of individuals involved in interventions matters as well when it comes to explaining “what works for whom.” Answering the question of which individual characteristics matter holds the promise of enabling intervention programmers to tailor interventions to individuals, thereby improving the efficiency of program delivery and maximizing impact. The main goal of this Special Section of Development and Psychopathology is to share the latest experimental intervention research addressing this issue that focuses on the genetic makeup of individuals as determinants (or moderators) of variation in intervention efficacy.
