no doubt bro but this is all BG work. You asked why people are trigger happy...not whether there was actual evidence. lol. Bronfenbrenner classic but yes, MOST parent-child studies hopelessly confounded by genetics. I say most...

I was asking about psychological theory why people have so high priors for interaction effects, whereas the evidence base for interactions in general is terrible. This is not specific to GxE stuff.

I understand that it is not specific to GxE per se, yes. But why people have so high priors for interactions which are typically hard to find regardless (low power most studies) may be b/c of tradition they studied in...
