We explore how advances in our understanding of the genetics of complex traits such as
educational attainment could constructively be leveraged to advance research on education …

Life skills play a key role in promoting educational and occupational success in early life, but
their relevance at older ages is uncertain. Here we measured five life skills …

This paper studies the interplay between genetics and family investments in the process of

Uchiyama et al. propose a unified model linking cultural evolutionary theory to behavior
genetics (BG) to enhance generalizability, enrich explanation, and predict how social factors …

Twin studies have documented that parenting behavior is partly heritable, but it is unclear
how parents' genetics shape their caregiving. Using tools of molecular genetics, the present …

Results from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) can be used to generate a
