Abstract
The vast individual differences observed in all educationally relevant psychological traits, such as academic achievement and cognitive, motivational and emotional characteristics, develop through complex processes of gene-environment co-action. Research suggests that educational environment interacts with unique genetic profiles of students, leading to great variability among students (see Kovas, Haworth, Dale, & Plomin, 2007).
