男人沒度量——他其實不高興你成功
Ladies, men aren’t happy when you succeed — but they won’t admit it, according to a new study.
女人們,根據最新研究,男人們不會爲你的成功而高興的——但是他們不會承認自己的不高興。Research shows straight men’s self-esteem drops following a romantic partner’s success, while women’s self-esteem remains unchanged after hearing similar news.
根據研究,當男人知道自己的女人成功以後,會覺得自己的自尊受損,然而女人聽到自己的男人活得成功以後,不會覺得自己的自尊心受影響。Study author Kate Ratliff of the University of Florida explained “there is some evidence that men automatically interpret a partner’s success as their own failure,” in a report published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
本研究在《個性與心理學》雜誌上發表,在研究中,根據佛羅里達大學研究員Kate Ratliff的報道“一些證據表明,男性會將自己伴侶的成功很自然的歸結爲自己的失敗。”
In one experiment, college students were told their partners scored in either the top 12% or bottom 12% in a “test of problem solving and social intelligence.”
在實驗中,大學學生告訴他們的伴侶自己在“解決問題和社交能力”的測試中取的了前12%的成績或是後12%的成績。How their girlfriends performed didn’t affect men’s reported self-esteem — what they told researchers — but when given a test to determine how they felt subconsciously, it was clear men whose partners performed well experienced a drop in self-worth. The subconscious testing involved quizzing participants on what adjectives they use to describe themselves.
那同學們告訴研究員,自己女朋友的表現不會影響到自己的自尊心。然而,當研究院對男生做潛意識測試時,得出的結果卻顯示,當男生的女朋友表現得很好時,男生覺得自我價值在貶值。潛意識測試包含了讓測試者自己形容自己。But the same didn’t hold true for women, whose self-esteem wasn’t affected by their partners’ success. In fact, women reported feeling happier about the relationship when men succeeded.
然而同樣的測試,在女性身上卻沒有男性的表現。女性的自尊心不會因爲男性的成功而受到影響。事實上,研究報告顯示,女性會因爲自己伴侶的成功而感覺到高興。This could be because “men tend to be more competitive than women,” Ratliff suggested.
研究員Ratliff認爲,也許是“男性比女性更傾向於競爭”“A similar argument is that self-esteem might be impacted when one fails to fulfill the roles ascribed to one’s gender,” she wrote in the report.
“還有一種可能是,當性別賦予的角色有挫敗感時,自尊心就會受影響。”研究員在報告中寫道。Additional experiments took place in the Netherlands and in online surveys of more than 600 people. In all cases, the findings were similar.
還有一個類似的延伸的實驗,在荷蘭,研究員通過網絡,做了600份調查。調查結果和以前的實驗結果也是非常近似的本譯文屬未經允許請勿轉載
