מתוך המחקר המקורי (מה שהחוקרים עצמם אומרים שהם מראים):
ציטוט:
We suggest that individuals with the
7R allele of the DRD4 gene, given certain environmental stimuli, are more likely to have a
liberal ideology.

מה ידוע על השפעות האלל הספציפי המדובר של הגן DRD4:
ציטוט:
The 7R allele of the DRD4 gene is known to be associated with
several characteristics, such as increased extraversion, novelty-seeking, and sensation-seeking
(Eichhammer et al. 2005). In turn, these characteristics have been correlated with behavioral and
personality traits, such as openness to new experiences (Savitz and Ramesar 2004), risk-taking
(Golimbet et al. 2007), intolerance to monotony, and exploratory behavior (Puttonen et al. 2005).
These traits could lead individuals to find liberalism itself more satisfying based on their social
and cognitive needs.

ההיפותזה:
ציטוט:
We would expect to find a negative correlation between traits associated with DRD4-7R
and a conservative ideology if conservatives perceive new experiences as a threat and thus, to
satisfy their psychological needs, they avoid novelty and sensation seeking.
|
ציטוט:
Yet, we do not think that the DRD4-7R allele alone is enough to predispose someone to a
liberal ideology. Genetic influences seem to be more strongly expressed as a person ages and
may not stabilize until an individual reaches their early 20’s. Hatemi et al. 2008 use a genetic
model to verify earlier claims (Hyman 1959, Jennings and Niemi 1968) that shared
environmental factors like parental socialization account for the largest share of the variance in
political attitudes and beliefs during adolescence. However, the role of the unshared
environment increases over time.
