When does socioeconomic status (SES) moderate the heritability of IQ? No evidence for g× SES interaction for IQ in a representative sample of 1176 Australian …
Bioecological theory predicts that cognitive ability is more heritable among those raised in
higher socioeconomic status (SES) families. However, the mechanism of this effect is
unclear, and the effect may not be universal. We tested for gene× SES interaction effects on
Full-scale IQ in 2307 adolescent Australian twins (mean age 16.2 years). Mean IQ scores
were modestly higher among those from higher SES backgrounds, but the magnitude of
genetic influences on IQ was uniformly high across the range of SES. Research identifying …
