Table 1. Causal inferences detected after multiple testing correction.

Significant causal relationships detected between psychopathology and psychosocial factors using latent causal variable analyses. For each significant causal estimate, all conditioned causal estimates between that phenotype pair are provided, highlighting at least nominally significant causal inferences after conditioning with education and socioeconomic status phenotypes that could not be detected in the original unconditioned trait pair.
