‘Battling my Biology’: Psychological Effects of Genetic Testing for Risk of Weight Gain

5 Jul 2013

Abstract excerpt

The availability of genetic tests for multifactorial conditions such as obesity raises concerns that higher-risk results could lead to fatalistic reactions or lower-risk results to complacency. No study has investigated the effects of genetic test feedback for the risk of obesity in non-clinical samples. The present study explored psychological and behavioral reactions to genetic test feedback for a weight...
