目的：考察外行人对种族的理解。方法：2001年7月至10月在美国东南部举行了15个焦点小组。结果：外行人对种族的理解是多因素的，部分由遗传学和部分文化定义的种族概念化。结论：外行人对种族的多因素理解对遗传学家来说很重要，原因有两个。首先，在种族的多因素定义中，遗传变异被解释为个体之间的表型差异。其次，种族差异在对种族的理解上表现得很明显。非洲裔美国人参与者对种族的理解更加流畅，其中包括自我定义和文化观念，而欧洲裔美国人更有可能依赖身体特征来理解种族。
Objective:To examine lay understandings of race.Method:Fifteen focus groups were held in the southeastern United States from July to October of 2001.Results:The lay understanding of race is multifactorial, conceptualizing race as defined in part by genetics and in part by culture.Conclusions:The multifactorial understanding of race used by lay people is important to geneticists for two reasons. First, within the multifactorial definition of race, genetic variation is interpreted as phenotypic differences among individuals. Second, racial differences are apparent in understandings of race. African-American participants held a more fluid understanding of race that included ideas of self-definition and culture, while European-Americans were more likely to rely on physical characteristics to understand race.
