Cleveland, Hobart H.; Jacobson, Kristen C.; Lipinski, John J.; Rowe, David C.

Intelligence, v28 n1 p69-86 2000

Used prospective data to examine the relationship between the family environment and child and adolescent achievement and to determine genetic and environmental contributions to this relationship. Data from 2,108 sibling full- and half-sibling pairs from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth suggest that genetic factors explain about one-quarter of the correlation between family environment and achievement.
