FINDING 4: PHENOTYPIC CORRELATIONS BETWEEN PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAITS SHOW SIGNIFICANT AND SUBSTANTIAL GENETIC MEDIATION

Few of the thousands of reported correlations
between traits such as these have been studied with genetically sensitive designs. However, when genetically informed designs are used, research consistently points to a finding with far-reaching implications: Phenotypic covariance between traits is significantly and substantially caused by genetic covariance, not just environmentally driven covariance.

Cognitive abilities have been studied most systematically from a multivariate genetic perspective. This research consistently shows that the phenotypic correlations among cognitive abilities are mediated significantly
and substantially by genetic factors called
generalist genes. For example, a multivariate genetic analysis of intelligence, reading, mathematics, and language in over 5,000 pairs of 12-year-old twins showed that genetic factors consistently accounted for more than half of the phenotypic correlations, ranging from 53% to 65%, with a mean of 61% and a mean 95% confidence interval of between 53% and 67%. These findings have received support from multivariate
GCTA. One implication of this finding is that the phenotypic structure of domains is similar to their genetic structure, as has been shown, for example, for cognitive abilities and personality.
