El principal resultado es que los y las escolares de familias privilegiadas muestran un mayor esfuerzo cognitivo que los de entornos desfavorecidos, sobre todo cuando no existe recompensa.

The EFFORT team knows that hard work pays off. Our project began in 2018, and the central findings have now been published in the American Sociological Review!

Key result: socioeconomic gaps in effort favor privileged children but are modest in size and can be substantially reduced with incentives.

Our evidence from Germany shows that the personality of siblings differs a lot in adolescence.
Curiously, children from the same family become more similar in early adulthood.
