Methods Used:

• The authors incorporated a polygenic score derived from GWAS study of educational attainment into the Interactionist Model using — 1) full information maximum likelihood estimation to deal with missing data; 2) standardized regression coefficients partialed for all other coefficients in the model to determine standardized path coefficients of negative personality traits and socioeconomic traits; 3) estimated standard errors to determine significance of individual path coefficients; 4) a comparative fit index (CFI) and Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) to determine overall model fit; and 5) a conservative Bonferroni correction for evaluating the significance of the 23 path coefficients in the model.
