Genetics of educational attainment in Australian twins: sex differences and secular changes.

Behavior genetics - 1 Mar 1996

Baker L A, Treloar S A, Reynolds C A, Heath A C, Martin N G

Abstract excerpt

The relative effects of genetic and environmental factors in producing individual differences in educational achievement are compared across women and men and over birth cohorts. In a large sample of Australian twin pairs, the heritability of self-reported educational attainment did not vary among women and men born before and after 1950. In a "psychometric" model of twin resemblance, based on separate...
