Current research interests
My work is on human ability and personality. As such it spans positive psychology, as well as IQ and traits like optimism. I often use behavior and molecular genetic approaches to get at causality. Recent research includes. How social status amplifies IQ (WSJ article). The structure of Optimism; and of Eudaimonic well-being A GWAS for dyslexia & the phonological loop How education and learning to read (but not reading) raise IQ. Genetic links of religion and group favoritism.
