Accompanying the preprint is an interactive figure where you can find the prevalence of all psychological codes in ICPC-2 across age and parental income: hfsu.shinyapps.io/prevalence_by_…

What explains the association between parental income and offspring psychiatric disorders, and can mechanisms change into adulthood? We investigated this using the entire Norwegian population and running children-of-twins models. Preprint and 🧵by lead author Hans Fredrik Sunde below!

Indeed, most introductory textbooks - and even professional philosophy handbooks - describe Popper using silly stereotypes. He is a pleasure to read, and David Deutsch books makes critical rationalism even clearer still

Psykisk helse hos barn varierer sterkt etter foreldrenes inntekt og utdanning. Hvorfor er det sånn? I fire år har vi forsket på sosial ulikhet, psykisk helse og genetikk. Kom på Kulturhuset onsdag 20. november kl. 9, så får du høre hva vi har funnet ut! fhi.no/om/kurs-og-kon…

Neste onsdag (20. nov, kl. 9:00) skal jeg og kollegaer fra Folkehelseinstituttet presentere forskningsfunn om sosial ulikhet og mental helse på Kulturhuset i Oslo. fhi.no/om/kurs-og-kon…

I'm happy @bernardo_josi has joined me in Oslo🇳🇴! As part of her PhD Netherlands Twin Register🇳🇱 on my ERC, she’ll spend 6mo at the Institute for Public Health. Excited to study intergenerational transmission of education w Fartein Ask Torvik Hans Fredrik Sunde & me using biorxiv.org/content/10.110… European Research Council (ERC)

While we focus on health traits, we also report the partner correlation in GPA at age 16 (i.e., educational performance way before most partners met). This correlation is almost the same as years of education (.43 vs. .47), despite often being completed after partner formation.

Give Torvik, Sunde et all a follow if you are interested in behaviour genetics. The research on the mechanisms of assortative mating are one of the most interesting thing in BG right now. Besides ofc the missing heritability, which will probably never be solved.(Many Assumptions)

Important work on correlations between partners (assortative mating). These results show widespread assortment across educational and mental health traits that is not entirely explained by 'direct assortment', i.e. matching on measured phenotypes. This has important

I was interviewed about our research into partner similarity and social differences by one of the main Norwegian science news sites: forskning.no/penger-og-priv…

If you liked this quote from Conley, tylercowen, you'll love this Figure from Sunde et al (2024) making the same point. Note the correlation between spouses' polygenic scores for education (.14) is higher than the correlation expected for 1st cousins under random mating (.125)!

Our new study is just out in Psychological Science! We study cognitive ability at age 18 and mental health 20 years later in 270k Norwegian men. We include different disorders, compare education by ability, and run sibling-fixed effects. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1177/095679…
