The polygenic score for educational attainment is associated both with cognitively-stimulating and warm-sensitive caregiving.
Note: The figure shows associations (indicated by standardized regression coefficients) between the polygenic score and cognitively-stimulating versus warm-sensitive caregiving assessed using video observations (panel a) and observations of the home environment (panel b). All associations are adjusted for parents’ sex. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals. Effect sizes of associations between cognitively-stimulating and warm, sensitive caregiving were not significantly different from each other, neither for video observations (p=.83) nor for observations of the home environment (p=.22)
