基因对人类行为的影响越来越为人所知，但外行人可能会有选择地认可基因归因；例如，他们似乎对亲社会行为比反社会行为有更强的基因归因。我们探索了这是否可以通过遗传归因与自然感之间的关系来解释。参与者阅读有关积极或消极的特征或行为，并对自然性和遗传因果关系进行评级。正价表型比负价表型更自然，受遗传影响更大，前者的不对称性显著地中介了后者(实验1和实验2)。参与者对“自然”含义的解释并不等同于价态或遗传属性(实验3)。人们将不同程度的基因影响归因于相同的表型，这取决于它是以社会赞成的方式表达的，还是以不喜欢的方式表达的，这可能会对公众对遗传学的理解构成重大威胁。
Genetic influences on human behavior are increasingly well understood, but laypeople may endorse genetic attributions selectively; e.g., they appear to make stronger genetic attributions for prosocial than for antisocial behavior. We explored whether this could be accounted for by the relationship of genetic attributions to perceptions of naturalness. Participants read about positively or negatively valenced traits or behaviors and rated naturalness and genetic causation. Positively valenced phenotypes were rated significantly more natural and significantly more genetically influenced than negatively valenced phenotypes, and the former asymmetry significantly mediated the latter (Experiments 1 and 2). Participants’ interpretation of what “natural” meant was not synonymous with valence or genetic attributions (Experiment 3). People ascribe differing degrees of genetic influence to the same phenotype depending on whether it is expressed in socially favored or disfavored ways, potentially representing a significant threat to public understanding of genetics.
