Figure 1 shows the results from Model 3, calculating the predicted
average years of education for individual raised in different contexts
by their educational polygenic score. On average higher polygenic score
is associated with higher educational attainment, but the slope of this
association varies considerably between different contexts. While having
high polygenic score is very discriminating in a neighborhood in which
all adults have college education, the slope of this association is
completely flat in a neighborhood with no college educated adults.
Essentially this means that having high genetic potential remains
completely unexpressed in a context of no education.
