New sociogenomics WP! Does family SES moderate the impact of children’s genetic predisposition for (non)cognitive skills on educational outcomes? 2nd WP of my thesis by a strong interdisciplinary team: Gil-Hernández, @fabriberna.bsky.social@perlinedemange.bsky.social! ✨
This study examines the role of genes and environments in predicting educational outcomes. We test the Scarr-Rowe hypothesis, suggesting that enriched environments enable genetic potential to unfold, ...

Did educational expansion make cognitive ability more predictive of attainment? Meritocratic logics would suggest so. Our results reveal the opposite pattern: a decoupling between ability and education over birth cohorts! Out now in Scientific Reports! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
