The field of behavioral genetics is experiencing a revolution following the development of genome-wide association studies and the availability of large datasets from international consortia. This rapid change could increase the existing gaps between basic research, translation, and public understanding of science. In the present work, we aim to synthesize key explanations of how public understanding of socio-scientific issues develop. We propose that integrating dual-process, motivated reasoning, and change management theories will increase the extent to which we understand, and can change, how people respond to findings from behavior genetics.
行为遗传学领域在全基因组关联研究的发展和国际联盟的大型数据集的可用性之后正在经历一场革命。这种快速变化可能会增加基础研究、转化和公众对科学的理解之间现有的差距。在目前的工作中，我们旨在综合解释社会科学问题的公众理解是如何发展的。我们提出，整合双过程、动机推理和变革管理理论将增加我们理解和改变人们对行为遗传学研究结果的反应的程度。
