毫无疑问,以上结果与另一些研究的结果相符。这些研究表明,亚洲国家人民的平均幸福程度比其人均GDP所预示的要低。然而,在非洲,不论哪国的人民都感到很幸福。不过这也并不出乎意料。非洲是基因最多样化的大洲,因为那里是人类进化的地方。美国黑人则大多是被人从非洲西部某些地区带来的奴隶的后代,因此他们不可能代表整个大洲。
That some populations have more of the long version of the serotonin-transporter gene hasbeen noticed before, though the association has previously been made at a national, ratherthan a racial, level. In a paper in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, published in 2009, JoanChiao and Katherine Blizinsky of Northwestern University, in Illinois, found a positivecorrelation between higher levels of the short version of the gene and mood disorders and with collectivist political systems. Their hypothesis is thatcultures prone to anxiety tend towards systems that emphasise social harmony and awayfrom ones that emphasise individuals independence of each other.
之前也有人注意到一些人拥有更多的长型血清素转运体基因,不过研究角度是国家而非种族。伊利诺斯州西北大学的约翰?乔和凯瑟林?Blizinsky于2009年在英国皇家学院学报发表了一篇论文,他们在文中指出,拥有短型基因及情绪障碍症与实行集体主义的政治制度呈正相关关系。他们的假设是:有焦虑倾向的文化趋于实行强调社会和谐的制度,而远离强调个人独立的制度。
