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.
Which of the following statements can be inferred from the research conducted by the University of Kansas?
选项
A、The participants were asked questions about their partners.
B、The similarity between partners may not change with intimacy.
C、The subjects have almost everything in common.
D、The phenomenon takes places accidentally.
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。第六段最后一句提到,堪萨斯大学的研究发现,对一些问题的观点,那些关系更亲密的搭档不一定比新组成的搭档更相似。由此推出,搭档之间的相似度不一定会随着亲密度发生变化,故答案为B)。A)“受试者被问及与其搭档相关的问题”,由第六段第二句可知,该项研究确实向受试者询问了一些问题,但无法从原文推断出这些问题是关于受试者自己还是他们的搭档,故排除;C)“受试者几乎在每一方面都有相同之处”,第六段最后一句提到,该项研究发现在测试中的每一个个人问题上,人们几乎都拥有共同之处,而不是泛指所有方面,故排除;D)“该现象是偶然发生的”,第七段第一句指出这并非偶然发生的,该选项与原文表述相反,故排除。
