Abstract

Objectives: The increasing accessibility of DNA ancestry information may influence perceptions of others' and one's own racial identity. The current work tested whether the presence of genetic testing information influenced Black participants' perceptions of individuals who claim a mismatched racial identity (i.e., a racial identity that differs from their parents), and whether these perceptions are moderated by the amount of corroborating DNA evidence and racial claim of the target.

Method: Black participants (N = 1,041) were randomly assigned to read about an individual claiming a Black or White mismatched racial identity. The target either had a majority amount (71%) of corroborating genetic information, a minimal amount (29%) or made no mention of genetic information.

Results: When a majority percentage of corroborating genetic information was provided, participants evaluated Black-identified targets more favorably than White-identified targets. Additionally, Black-identified targets were evaluated most favorably when they had a majority amount of corroborating genetic information.

Conclusions: Among Black perceivers, a majority amount of corroborating genetic information increased positive evaluations of a mismatched, Black-identified racial claim. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

研究遗传祖先信息对有争议的种族身份评估的影响。

目的：越来越多的DNA祖先信息可能会影响对他人和自己种族身份的看法。目前的工作测试了基因检测信息的存在是否影响了黑人参与者对声称种族身份不匹配（即与父母不同的种族身份）的个人的看法，以及这些看法是否受到确证DNA证据和目标种族主张数量的调节。方法：黑人参与者（N=1041）被随机分配阅读关于一个声称黑人或白人种族身份不匹配的个人的信息。目标要么有大部分（71%）的确证遗传信息，要么有少量（29%）的确证基因信息，要么没有提及遗传信息。结果：当提供了大多数确凿的基因信息时，参与者对黑人识别的目标的评价比白人识别的目标更高。此外，当黑人识别的目标拥有大量确凿的基因信息时，他们的评价最为有利。结论：在黑人感知者中，大多数确凿的基因信息增加了对不匹配、黑人认同的种族主张的积极评价。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
