Despite research demonstrating that gene expression differs in response to social environmental circumstances, deterministic views of biology are common. Stuart and colleagues (2014) encourage readers to think about genetic factors in the same dynamic and probabilistic manner that they consider other causes of intimate partner violence. Given that participants had co-occurring alcohol problems, future studies should evaluate how different genetic polymorphisms uniquely and synergistically contribute to heavy drinking and aggression under different socio-environmental conditions. Psychological expectancies have a powerful impact on behavior, thus extreme caution is required before labeling people as genetically predisposed to violence.
尽管有研究表明基因表达会因社会环境状况而有所不同，但生物学的决定论观点仍然很常见。斯图尔特及其同事（2014年）鼓励读者以他们考虑亲密伴侣暴力的其他原因时同样动态和概率性的方式来思考遗传因素。鉴于参与者同时存在酒精问题，未来的研究应该评估不同的基因多态性如何在不同的社会环境条件下独特地和协同地导致酗酒和攻击行为。心理预期对行为有强大的影响，因此在将人们标记为具有暴力遗传倾向之前需要极其谨慎。
