Beyond the factor indeterminacy problem using genome-wide association data
Latent factors, such as general intelligence, depression and risk tolerance, are invoked in
nearly all social science research where a construct is measured via aggregation of …

More than nature and nurture, indirect genetic effects on children's academic achievement are consequences of dynastic social processes
Abstract Families transmit genes and environments across generations. When parents'
genetics affect their children's environments, these two modes of inheritance can produce an …
