The Big 5 personality traits (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, openness to experience) are moderately heritable correlates of behavior, health, and life outcomes. Character...

Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression vary in their age of onset, cognitive impacts, degree of impairment, and clinical course. However, since psychosis is a transdiagnostic feature th...

Links between genetic variants and personality differences are robust, complex and related to health, career and relationship outcomes.

More than one million genomes helped identify DNA variants linked to extroversion, agreeableness, neuroticism and more. Researchers measured how those traits influenced how people lived.

Kathryn Paige Harden’s new book offers a defense of a kind of Scientific Calvinism that converges with the eugenicist ideals of the contemporary Far Right.

Genome-wide analyses of 10 educational fields identify 17 associated loci. Analysis of genetic clustering across specializations identifies two key dimensions that show genetic overlap with personalit...

Analyses of symptoms and genomic data indicate that autism that manifests in early childhood is distinct from autism that is diagnosed later in development.

Genomic structural invariance, an extension of genomic structural equation modeling, identifies similarities and differences between males and females in the genetic architectures of eight psychiatric...

Joint analysis of 11 major psychiatric disorders identifies four broad factor underlying genetic correlations among the disorders. Association analyses detect 152 loci acting on these factors and iden...

Using data from multiple cognitive tests, de la Fuente et al. find evidence for a general dimension of genetic sharing across diverse cognitive traits and identify genomic regions relevant for general...

The authors address the central criticism of latent variable models in behavioural science, which is that a wide range of causal models may account for the observed data (the factor indeterminacy prob...
