娶嬌妻讓你更顯老

According to the Daily Telegraph on January 7, marrying someone much younger only makes you seem older in the eyes of everyone else, shows an academic study。

When someone see a mature man with a woman half his age, they estimate him to be much older than it really is because of the obvious gap, said the study。

Psychologists from Jena University in Germany discovered that a person's perceived age varies depending on the people they are with。

They carried out a series of research projects called Person Perception to see how people estimate the age of others。

If they see a person on their own then most observers are fairly good as estimating that person's age. And the same applies if there is a group where everyone is around the same age。

But if most of a group are old and one person is young, that difference is exaggerated and those trying to guess the individual's age are "consistently wrong" said the research。

The findings have been published in the journal Vision Research。據英國《每日電訊報》1月7日報道，一項科學研究顯示，和比自己年輕很多的人結婚，只會在別人眼裏顯得更老。

研究表示，當人們看到一個成熟的男人和只有他一半年齡的女性在一起時，因爲年齡差距較大，這個男人往往要顯得比實際年齡更大一些。

德國耶拿大學的心理學家發現，人們的外表年齡往往隨着身邊的人有所變化。

研究人員進行了一系列“年齡直覺”的研究項目，觀察人們如何判斷其他人的年齡。

如果被調查者是單獨一人，大部分觀察者都能相對準確地猜測出他的年齡。如果一個小組的成員年齡相仿，這一原理同樣適用。

但是，研究顯示如果一個小組大部分成員都比較年長，而一個人較年輕，年齡猜測的準確率明顯下降。猜測者估計的年齡要和被猜測者的實際年齡"相差萬里"。

《視覺研究》雜誌已經發表了這一研究結果。
