合成生物学和基因组编辑已经成为越来越有争议的问题，需要公众的密切关注和参与。我们的研究通过在一项调查中使用几种中间反应选项来检查公众对新兴生物技术的模糊看法。为了理解受访者的想法和态度之间的关系，我们还研究了受访者的优柔寡断与他们对“自我”的认知概念以及他们对“后代”的解释之间的关系。一项针对994名居住在日本的受访者的在线调查显示，约80%的人对合成生物学和基因组编辑持中间态度（双面态度、非评判态度或保留态度）。这些结果表明，自我概念狭隘的受访者倾向于推迟对新兴技术应用的决定。相比之下，那些自我概念宽泛的人往往采取矛盾的态度，更短视，而是根据他们的决定对当代人和后代的影响来做出判断。因此，这项研究表明，与传统的公众政策调查相比，公众的观点更加多样化和微妙。
Synthetic biology and genome editing have become increasingly controversial issues, necessitating careful attention and engagement with the public. Our study examined ambiguity in public perception about emerging biotechnologies through the use of several intermediate response options in a survey. To understand the relationship between respondents' thoughts and attitudes, we also examined how respondents' indecision is related to their cognitive concept of “self” as well as their interpretation of “future generations.” An online survey of 994 respondents living in Japan revealed that around 80% hold intermediate attitudes (two-sided, non-judgmental, or reserved attitudes) toward synthetic biology and genome editing. These results revealed that respondents who have a narrow self-concept tend to postpone decisions about the application of emerging technologies. In contrast, those with a broad self-concept tend to adopt an ambivalent attitude and are more short-sighted, but make judgments based on the impact of their decisions on current and future generations. This study thus demonstrates that public views are more diverse and nuanced than those obtained from conventional public surveys for policy making.
