现在有大量证据支持这样的结论：在大多数（如果不是全部的话）可可靠测量的心理特征（正常和异常）中，个体差异在很大程度上受到遗传因素的影响。这一事实对心理学的研究和理论建设具有重要意义，因为遗传影响的证据引发了一系列关于这些特征差异来源的问题。提供了这些问题的简要列表，并提出了关于人格、智力、心理兴趣、精神疾病和社会态度等领域的遗传和环境影响的代表性发现。这些发现与其他物种的特征和许多人类身体特征的报道一致，表明它们可能代表了一种普遍的生物学现象。
There is now a large body of evidence that supports the conclusion that individual differences in most, if not all, reliably measured psychological traits, normal and abnormal, are substantively influenced by genetic factors. This fact has important implications for research and theory building in psychology, as evidence of genetic influence unleashes a cascade of questions regarding the sources of variance in such traits. A brief list of those questions is provided, and representative findings regarding genetic and environmental influences are presented for the domains of personality, intelligence, psychological interests, psychiatric illnesses, and social attitudes. These findings are consistent with those reported for the traits of other species and for many human physical traits, suggesting that they may represent a general biological phenomenon.
