Gene-environment interaction analysis of school quality and educational inequality by Kim Stienstra, Antonie Knigge, Ineke Maas

“…Abstract We study to what extent schools increase or decrease environmental and genetic influences on educational performance. Building on behavioral genetics literature on gene-environment interactions and sociological literature on the compensating and amplifying effects of schools on inequality, we investigate whether the role of genes and the shared environment is larger or smaller in higher-quality school environments. …”

Religion versus Science II: Why Science Is Wrong about Life and Evolution, and Where Religious Beliefs Can Find Objective Traction by Ted Christopher

“…That stretch is now unfolding in a broad failure as huge efforts to identify the DNA (or genetic) origins for disease and behavioral tendencies (in the realms of personal genomics and behavioral genetics, respectively) have been an “absolutely beyond belief” failure. …”

Political attitudes develop independently of personality traits. by Peter K Hatemi, Brad Verhulst

“…In contrast, research relying on traditional psychological and developmental theories suggests the relationship between most personality dimensions and political orientations are either not significant or weak. Research from behavioral genetics suggests the covariance between personality and political preferences is not causal, but due to a common, latent genetic factor that mutually influences both. …”

Ionotropic Chemosensory Receptors Mediate the Taste and Smell of Polyamines. by Ashiq Hussain, Mo Zhang, Habibe K Üçpunar, Thomas Svensson, Elsa Quillery, Nicolas Gompel, Rickard Ignell, Ilona C Grunwald Kadow

“…Using a combination of behavioral genetics and in vivo calcium imaging, we demonstrate that Drosophila uses multisensory detection to find and evaluate polyamines present in overripe and fermenting fruit, their favored feeding and egg-laying substrate. …”

Stimulus generalization and return of fear in C57BL/6J mice by Yannick eBoddez, Zsuzsanna eCallaerts-Vegh, Bram eVervliet, Frank eBaeyens, Rudi eD'Hooge, Dirk eHermans, Tom eBeckers, Tom eBeckers

“…In this study, we attempt to develop a new conditioning protocol to study return of fear, caused by a stimulus change after extinction, in the most commonly used mouse strain of behavioral genetics, C57BL/6J. Perceptual changes to an auditory fear conditioned stimulus led to return of fear after initially successful fear-reduction, relative to appropriate control treatment. …”

The causes of variation in learning and behavior: Why individual differences matter by Bruno eSauce, Louis D. Matzel

“…Interestingly, this dismissal of the study of individual differences was absent in the biologically-oriented branches of behavior analysis, namely, behavioral genetics and ethology. Here we propose that the distinction between causation and causes of variation (with its origins in the field of genetics) reveal the potential value of the correlational approach in understanding the full complexity of learning and behavior. …”
