Neither nature nor nurture: Using extended pedigree data to understand indirect genetic effects on offspring educational outcomes
Abstract Families transmit genes and environments across generations. When parents'
genetics affect their children's environments, these two modes of inheritance can become …

The role of parental genotype in the intergenerational transmission of externalizing behavior: Evidence for genetic nurturance
The purpose of this study was to examine possible pathways by which genetic risk
associated with externalizing is transmitted in families. We used molecular data to …
