The paper develops a framework to estimate genetic and social homogamy using family data and finds that indirect assortative mating better explains educational attainment similarities than direct assortment.

This study identifies 1,257 genetic variants associated with human personality traits using large-scale GWAS and finds widespread genetic correlations with behaviors and life outcomes.

The paper shows genetic similarity between relatives can indicate assortative mating, finding evidence in nine traits and increased genetic variance in offspring for six of them.
