Research in behaviour genetics uncovers causes of behaviour at the population level. For inferences about individuals we also need to know how genes and the environment affect phenotypes. Behaviour genetics fosters a biased view of individual behaviour since it identifies the environment with psychosocial factors and disregards ecology.
行为遗传学的研究揭示了群体层面行为的成因。对于个体的推断,我们还需要了解基因和环境如何影响表型。行为遗传学助长了对个体行为的偏见性看法,因为它将环境等同于心理社会因素而忽视了生态学。
