The largest genetic study of educational attainment (EA) so far combines gene mapping and
family analyses to show that genetic associations with EA and its health benefits may be …

Objective To extend previous literature that suggests higher IQ in youth is associated with

As genetic research into outcomes beyond health gathers pace, largely through the use of
genome-wide association studies, interest from policy-makers has grown. In the last year …

Prior research shows that individuals who have exhibited antisocial behavior are in poorer

Studies examining the interplay between children's academic ability and parental
background are rare, and their findings are mixed and inconclusive. This paper addresses …

Early educational interventions aim to close gaps in achievement levels between children.
However, early interventions do not eliminate individual differences in populations and the …

Twin and adoption studies have shown that individual differences in political participation
can be explained, in part, by genetic variation. However, these research designs cannot …

Individuals of the same species display remarkable variation in behavior, even in identical
contexts. Increasing complexity in behavioral phenotypes brings with it an increase in …

This study examines whether draft lottery estimates of the causal effects of Vietnam-era
military service on schooling vary by an individual's genetic propensity toward educational …

The prospect of using behavioral genetic data in schools is gaining momentum in the US,
