It is a hotly contested issue whether polygenic scores should play a major role in the social sciences. Here, we defend a methodologically pluralist stance in which sociogenomics should abandon its hype and recognize that it suffers from all the methodological difficulties of the social sciences, yet nevertheless maintain an optimistic stance toward a more cautious use.
多基因评分是否应该在社会科学中发挥重要作用,这是一个争议激烈的问题。在这里,我们捍卫一种方法论多元化的立场,即社会基因组学应该摒弃其炒作,认识到它存在社会科学所有的方法论困难,但尽管如此,仍应保持对更谨慎使用的乐观态度。
