Heritable variance in psychological traits may reflect genetic and biological processes that
are not necessarily specific to these particular traits but pertain to a broader range of …

Genome-wide polygenic scores (GPS) can be used to predict individual genetic risk and
resilience. For example, a GPS for years of education (EduYears) explains substantial …

Abstract points out that... researchers need to explore the genetic and environmental bases
of covariation between specific personality traits and (a) their biological correlates,(b) their …

Personality variables are associated with educational attainment and socioeconomic
outcomes. In this study we incorporated a polygenic score derived from the largest genome …

The first candidate gene studies of human personality promised much but, in the fifteen
years since their publication, have delivered little in the way of clear evidence for the …

A previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) of more than 100,000 individuals
identified molecular-genetic predictors of educational attainment. We undertook in-depth life …

In the current study, common and unique genetic and environmental influences on
personality and a broad range of well-being measures were investigated. Data on the Big …

We investigated the effects of the Big Five personality traits (extroversion, friendliness,
conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness) on educational attainment in the …

Personality and cognitive function are heritable mental traits whose genetic foundations may
be distributed across interconnected brain functions. Previous studies have typically treated …

A summary genetic measure, called a “polygenic score,” derived from a genome-wide
association study (GWAS) of education can modestly predict a person's educational and …
