情侶福利:告訴你如何留住伴侶的心!
Ever wonder what keeps some people faithful while others are spreading their cooties all around town? Well, there's more to monogamy than sheer willpower, according to new research.
你是否好奇爲什麼有些人忠誠，而另一些人卻到處沾花惹草？根據最新研究表明，一夫一妻制需要的不僅僅是單純的意志力。In a study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, scientists recruited nearly 250 heterosexual people and had them rate the attractiveness of members of the opposite sex…all in the name of science.
在一項發表在《人格與社會心理學報》的研究中，科學家招募了250名異性戀，並要求他們對其他異性成員的吸引力打分...一切以科學的名義。In one experiment, people were shown a pic of someone of the opposite sex, as well as a profile that included whether they were single or in a relationship. People who were in a relationship tended to say that single people (who might be a "threat to their relationship," according to the study) were less attractive than other single people deemed them.
在一項實驗中，在向人們展示異性的照片時，還附上照片上的人是單身或交往的信息。相比於單身的人，那些正在交往的人會覺得照片上的單身人士比較缺乏吸引力（研究說這是因爲單身人士可能會“威脅到他們現在已有的關係”）。
In a second experiment, people were asked to report how satisfied they were in their relationship before ranking the attractiveness of others. People who said they were happy with their S.O. once again ranked single folks as less attractive. But, those who weren't all that satisfied in their relationship were more likely to say those singles were lookin' mighty fine.
在第二項實驗中，在要求參與者爲其他人打分前，先詢問他們對目前交往關係的滿意程度。那些對自己的伴侶比較滿意的人，會覺得照片上的單身人士吸引力較低。但是，對自己交往關係不滿意的人，會覺得照片上的單身人士看起來不錯。While this is super interesting, what does it mean? Scientists say that when we'rehappy in a relationship, we want to keep things that way. As a result, we unconsciously downgrade the looks of other people in our minds so that they don't tempt us to cheat.
很有趣對吧，這意味着什麼呢？科學家對此表示，當我們對自己的交往關係滿意時，我們想保持現狀。因而，我們會無意識地爲其他人的外觀打出低分，這樣他們就不會誘使我們出軌。Of course, there's a huge difference between thinking someone is hot and actually stepping out on your S.O., and it's totally possible to think Zac Efron is sexy while still being into your guy (ahem, just saying...).
當然，覺得某個人很火辣，和真的揹着你的伴侶出軌之間有着巨大的不同。你可以在忠於你的伴侶的同時，仍覺得扎克·埃夫隆性感（咳咳，只是說說…）
