Abstract

Recent research advances have precipitated the era of personality genomics: the study of how variation in human DNA sequence predicts individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Here, we introduce personality and genomics, and we review key findings from recent genome-wide association studies of personality traits. These findings support five key observations: (a) sizable genetic effects on personality arise from a vast number of genetic variants with individually miniscule effects; (b) genetic variants associated with personality have widespread associations with other attributes, including social, economic, and medical outcomes; (c) genetic effects on personality generalize across groupings of people; (d) genetic effects on personality are minimally confounded by familial environmental effects; and (e) many recent genomic findings were anticipated by classic twin genetic research. For personality psychologists, embracing genomics provides unique and powerful inferential tools. For genomics researchers, incorporating unifying personality frameworks enables an integrative understanding of core behavioral dimensions.

人格基因组学。

最近的研究进展促成了人格基因组学时代的到来：研究人类DNA序列的变化如何预测个体在思维、感觉和行为特征模式上的差异。在这里，我们介绍了人格和基因组学，并回顾了最近全基因组关联研究的主要发现。这些发现支持了五个关键的观察结果：(a)对性格的巨大遗传影响来自于大量的基因变异，单个的影响微乎其微；(b)与人格相关的遗传变异与其他属性（包括社会、经济和医疗结果）存在广泛关联；(c)基因对人格的影响在人群中普遍存在；(d)对人格的遗传影响与家庭环境影响的混淆程度最低；(e)许多最近的基因组发现是由经典的双胞胎基因研究预测到的。对于人格心理学家来说，拥抱基因组学提供了独特而强大的推理工具。对于基因组学研究人员来说，整合统一的人格框架能够对核心行为维度进行综合理解。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Psychology, a publication that has been available since 1950, provides comprehensive coverage of the latest advancements in psychological research. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including the biological underpinnings of human behavior, the intricacies of our senses and perception, the functioning of the mind, animal behavior and learning, human development, psychopathology, clinical and counseling psychology, social psychology, personality, environmental psychology, community psychology, and much more. In a recent development, the current volume of this esteemed journal has transitioned from a subscription-based model to an open access format as part of the Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open initiative. As a result, all articles published in this volume are now freely accessible to the public under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license.
