Fig. 2: Mediating role of neighbourhood characteristics on the educational attainment polygenic score (PGS) prediction of academic achievement from age 7 to 16.
From: Gene-environment correlation: the role of family environment in academic development
The total length of each bar represents the prediction (standardised beta coefficient) from the educational attainment (EA) [16] PGS to academic achievement at ages 7 (top panel), 9, 12, and 16 (bottom panel). The blue portion of each bar shows the direct effect (i.e. not mediated by each neighbourhood measure), while the orange portion of each bar shows the indirect effect (i.e. mediated by each neighbourhood measure). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 after applying FDR correction.
