"Contrary to popular and long-standing accounts of the causes and consequences of attachment styles, we find no evidence that attachment and ideology are jointly grounded in early familial experiences."
Attachment and Political Personality are Heritable and Distinct Systems, and Both Share Genetics with Interpersonal Trust and Altruism - Behavior Genetics
The attachment and caregiving domains maintain proximity and care-giving behavior between parents and offspring, in a way that has been argued to shape people’s mental models of how relationships work...

We have a new paper out, led by the great @hfsunde.bsky.social! We find that the correlation between parental income and offspring mental disorders may be partly causal in adolescence (phenotypic transmission), but that it is largely explained by passive genetic transmission in adulthood.
Our new paper is out today! 🎉 In it, we use administrative register data to document how psychiatric disorders are strongly linked to parental income, from childhood far into adulthood. Furthermore, we attempt to separate causation and selection using kinship-based models.

We have a new paper out in Psychological Science. The risk for (any) mental disorder decreases dramatically as cognitive ability increases–even when controlling for within-family variation. Check out lead author @magnusnordmo.bsky.social

New paper on family resemblance in school performance! We find that a model with only additive genetics and assortative mating fits the data well, but underestimates the resemblance of close relatives and adoptees, indicating some shared environmental effects. See @eivindy.bsky.social thread!
