Genetic and Phenotypic Associations of the Polygenic Score of Delay Discounting and Life History Traits
Genetic and phenotypic associations between delay discounting, education, and reproductive timing align with predictions from fast-slow life-history theory. These findings suggest that behavioral tendencies related to impulsivity and future orientation share molecular genetic foundations with key life-history traits while leaving substantial scope for environmental influences.
