The old romantic adage (谚语) is a cute one, but according to recent studies, opposites don’t necessarily attract.
Research shows that people tend to seek out relationships with—and eventually marry—partners who have similar defining characteristics, such as age, political orientation, religion, education, and income.
"Generally speaking, when we think about opposites attracting or not, we’re thinking in terms of personality rather than these big key demographic factors," says Vinita Mehta, a clinical psychologist and writer based in Washington, D. C.
One big factor as to why this may be is simply your stage of life: where you live, what lifestyle you have, and what kind of people you’re exposed to.
"If you’re on a college campus, by and large, you’re going to find people who are in your age group," Mehta says. " You’re going to find people who at least eventually become part of the same general income strata (阶层)."
Researchers from the University of Kansas made a bolder claim. A study released earlier this year analyzed real-world relationships and asked couples (romantic partners, friends, and acquaintances) about attitudes, behavior, values, prejudices, and personality traits that were important to them. The pairs that had closer and more intimate relationships were not necessarily more similar than newly formed pairs, and people shared similarities on almost every personal issue that was measured.
The lead psychologists on this study believe this doesn’t happen by chance; it’s so common and widespread that seeking out like-minded people may be our psychological default when we make new friends or romantic partners. We certainly get the most out of these relationships. They make us more comfortable and trusting of the other person, and that makes it easier to cooperate and achieve goals.
As far personalities go, connecting on major traits, like levels of neuroticism (情绪不稳定性) and conscientiousness, generally lead to happier couples. But that doesn’t mean you and your significant other need to agree on everything. Having different quirks (怪癖) —less defining parts of your personality, like your favorite sport or foods—can introduce you to new activities and ways of thinking, which can make you a more well-rounded person.
What is the purpose of citing the studies in the passage?
选项
A、To show what kind of people we should get acquainted with.
B、To find out what stage of life we are in.
C、To prove we are drawn to what is familiar.
D、To introduce the advantages like-minded people can bring to us.
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。第二段的研究表明人们往往寻求与自己显著特征相似的伙伴关系,并最终结婚;第六段中堪萨斯大学的研究发现,受试者与搭档之间的相似度不受其亲密度的影响;第七段进一步强调堪萨斯大学的研究发现具有必然性和普遍性,即人们在结交新朋友或恋人时,往往会寻求志趣相投的人。由此可知,作者列举这两项研究意在证明相似相吸而非相异相吸,故答案为C)。A)“为了表明我们应该结识哪种人”,第二段虽然提及人们会结识与自己显著特征相似的人,但这是第一项研究结果,并非作者列举研究的目的,故排除;B)“为了弄清楚我们目前所处的人生阶段”和D)“为了介绍志趣相投的人能给我们带来的好处”,虽然分别在原文第四段和第七段最后两句有所提及,但不是作者列举研究的目的,故均排除。
