摘要

研究表明，人们的行为方式与他们认为自己拥有的基因一致。我们在冒险的背景下研究了这种趋势。我们预测，显示冒险倾向的虚假基因检测结果会导致参与者表现出更冒险的行为。参与者提交了唾液测试，并被随机分配接受表明高风险倾向高或低倾向的虚假基因反馈。然后，他们完成了一项对冒险行为的标准化测量。结果表明，那些接受到基因上倾向于冒险行为的反馈的人比那些接受到基因上倾向于风险厌恶的人表现出更高的冒险行为。这些发现将基因反馈效应的研究扩展到一个新的领域，并进一步揭示了基因反馈在独立于实际遗传倾向的情况下塑造行为的方式。

Genetic Risk Information Influences Risk-Taking Behavior

Research indicates that people will behave in ways that are consistent with the genes they believe they possess. We examined this tendency in the context of risk-taking. We predicted that bogus genetic testing results indicating a propensity for risk-taking would cause participants to demonstrate riskier behavior. Participants submitted saliva tests and were randomly assigned to receive bogus genetic feedback indicating high propensity or low propensity for risk-taking. They then completed a standardized measure of risk-taking behavior. Results showed that those who received feedback indicating they were genetically disposed to risky behavior demonstrated higher risk-taking behavior than those who received feedback indicating that they were genetically disposed to risk aversion. These findings extend work on genetic feedback effects to a new domain and further reveal the ways that genetic feedback shapes behavior independent of one's actual genetic propensities.

期刊介绍： An excellent resource for researchers as well as students, Social Cognition features reports on empirical research, self-perception, self-concept, social neuroscience, person-memory integration, social schemata, the development of social cognition, and the role of affect in memory and perception. Three broad concerns define the scope of the journal: - The processes underlying the perception, memory, and judgment of social stimuli - The effects of social, cultural, and affective factors on the processing of information The behavioral and interpersonal consequences of cognitive processes.
