随着通过直接面向消费者的DNA测序服务进行DNA测序的日益普及和可负担性，研究人员显然需要了解DNA测序的结果如何在心理和行为上影响消费者。在这篇论文中，作者讨论了几个可能影响学习我们自己的遗传倾向如何影响我们的内在过程。特别是，本文确定了三个相关的观点之间的相互作用：遗传本质主义偏见，感知身份，需要确定性。这些相互关联的观点和支持相关潜在预测的实证研究提供了一个有用的基础，研究人员可以进一步确定这些自我感知遗传效应的可检验假设。这类研究具有潜在的深远影响，尤其是在卫生领域。
With the increasing popularity and affordability of DNA sequencing through direct-to-consumer DNA sequencing services, it has become apparent that researchers need to understand how the results of sequencing one's DNA affects consumers psychologically and behaviorally. In this paper, the authors discuss several intrapersonal processes that may impact how learning about our own genetic predispositions affects us. In particular, this paper sets out to identify the interplay between three relevant perspectives: genetic essentialist biases, perceived identity, and need for certainty. These interrelated perspectives and the empirical research that supports relevant underlying predictions provide a useful basis from which researchers can further identify testable hypotheses on these intrapersonal perceived genetics effects. Such research has potential far-reaching implications, not the least of which are in the health domain.
