The field of human behavioral genetics has come full circle. It began by using twin/family
studies to estimate the relative importance of genetic and environmental influences. As large …

The question of why people show individual differences in their behaviours and capacities
has intrigued researchers for centuries. Behaviour genetics offers us various methods to …

childhood and adolescence. Less is known about the association of neighborhood …

Behavioral genetics and cultural evolution have both revolutionized our understanding of
human behavior–largely independent of each other. Here, we reconcile these two fields …

The sociogenomics revolution is upon us, we are told. Whether revolutionary or not,
sociogenomics is poised to flourish given the ease of incorporating polygenic scores (or …

The genotyping of millions of human samples has made it possible to evaluate variants
across the human genome for their possible association with risks for numerous diseases …

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have ushered in a new era of reproducible

The search for genetic risk factors underlying the presumed heritability of all human
behavior has unfolded in two phases. The first phase, characterized by candidate-gene …

Measurement error in polygenic indices (PGIs) attenuates the estimation of their effects in
regression models. We analyze and compare two approaches addressing this attenuation …
