Gene–Environment Correlation

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Gene–environment correlation (rGE) is a major theoretical and empirical lens that explores the relationship between genetics and the environment. Gene–environment correlation operates through three major theoretical types – passive, evocative, and active.
