Really cool within-family polygenic analysis of the (potentially causal) relationship between Personality and Economic Outcomes like income and wealth. Great use of negative controls to confirm the within family PGI doesnt relate to parental confounders.

1/12 Personality predicts earnings and wealth. But does it cause them? That is hard to answer: personality is correlated with family background and much else. In our new working paper, we use the randomness of genetic inheritance to get closer to a causal answer.

This study of autism spectrum genetics reveals multiple genesets, which are biologically coherent & coincide with specific developmental onset and symptoms. I feel this is where the psych EMA literature and psychiatric genetics can find synergies! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

New paper! Despite qualitative researchers claiming that generalizability is not a goal, their published work does indeed contain generalizable claims. We document this and provide recommendations for how all researchers can better calibrate their generalizability claims. doi.org/10.1177/2515...
