我们通常会看到这样的情形,人们在品德或者精神信仰的驱使下去帮助他人,而且完全自愿进行有益他人或者社会的事情。但是最近几年,越来越多的证据已经表明,做好事的趋向或许是由基因影响的。在《社会神经科学》杂志的一项最新研究中,研究人员发现基因型的一种变化似乎影响着人们是否参与助人行为。拥有基因型变化的个体倾向于产生社会性焦虑,也就是说会因周围的人产生不安,而且几乎不想帮助其他人。与之相反,拥有另外一种变化的人们不仅不焦虑,而且更倾向于将助人作为一种乐趣。 We often see situations where people are motivated by moral or moral beliefs to help others and voluntarily volunteer for others or society. However, in recent years, more and more evidence has shown that the trend of doing good may be genetically influenced. In a recent study in the journal Social Neuroscience, researchers found that a change in genotype seems to affect whether people are involved in helping behavior. Individuals who have genotyped changes tend to have social anxiety, meaning that they are upset by the people around them and hardly want to help others. In contrast, people with another change are not only not anxious, but are more likely to be helpful as a pleasure.
