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’s the author’s attitude towards the similarities between couples?
选项
A、Positive.
B、Negative.
C、Uninterested.
D、Objective.
答案
D
解析
观点态度题。作者在最后一段第一句提到,随着性格的深入,在将情绪不稳定和责任心程度这样的主要特征联系在一起时,伴侣们通常会更幸福。由此可知,作者认为性格主要特质的相似性有好处。紧接着第二句句首的But表明句意发生了转折,该句指出这并不意味着你和你的另一半需要在每件事上都达成一致,并在第三句做出进一步的解释,拥有不同的怪癖可以将你引入新的活动和思维方式,这会使你成为一个更全面的人,这两句表明作者认为伴侣之间存在不同也有好处。综上可以判断,作者对伴侣之间的相似之处持客观态度,故答案为D)。
