篇章：伴侶選擇 男女標準各不同 　　A new study suggests individuals choose a partner based upon their perception of a potential mates attributes and upside or downside potential. 　　Researchers determined men and women often use a framing process evaluating suitors from both positive and negative perspectives. 　　Still, as described in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, decision-making varies as each gender uses different criteria and viewpoints to make their choice. 　　For example, researchers from Concordia University discovered men responded more strongly to the framing effect when physical attractiveness was described. 　　Also, it may come as a surprise to learn that when we choose a partner, the framing effect is even stronger in women than it is for men. 　　When it comes to mate selection, women are more attuned to negatively framed information due to an evolutionary phenomenon called parental investment theory, said Gad Saad, Ph.D. 　　Choosing someone who might be a poor provider or an unloving father would have serious consequences for a woman and for her offspring. So we hypothesized that women would naturally be more leery of negatively framed information when evaluating a prospective mate. 　　To prove this, Saad and fellow researcher Tripat Gill, Ph.D., called on hundreds of young men and women to take part in their study. 　　Participants were given positively and negatively framed descriptions of potential partners. For example, Seven out of 10 people who know this person think that this person is kind versus Three out of 10 people who know this person think that this person is not kind . 　　The researchers tested the framing effect using six key attributes, two of which are more important to men and women respectively, and two that are considered as necessities by both sexes: 　　attractive body ; 　　attractive face ; 　　earning potential ; 　　ambition ; 　　kindness ; 　　intelligence . 　　Participants evaluated both high-quality and low-quality prospective mates for these attributes, in the context of a short-term fling or a long-term relationship. 　　More often than not, women said they were far less likely to date the potential mates described in the negatively framed descriptions even though in each instance, they were being presented with exactly the same information as in the positively framed descriptions. 　　Women also proved more susceptible to framing effects in attributes like ambition and earning potential, while men responded more strongly to framing when physical attractiveness was described. 　　查看譯文 　　新研究表明，個人在選擇伴侶時往往基于潛在另一半的個人特征及其上升潛力或下行空間。 　　研究人員稱，男性和女性通常運用框架思維，從積極和消極兩個方面去評估追求者。 　　盡管如此，正如雜志《進化與人類行為》所講，不同性別做決定時的標準與觀點有所不同。 　　例如，來自肯高迪亞大學的研究者發現，當外表吸引力被發現時，男性對于框架效應往往會做出更強烈的反應。 　　并且，我們驚訝地發現，當我們選擇伴侶時，框架效應在女性身上的體現甚至比男性更強烈。 　　當我們選擇伴侶時，女性更傾向于選擇消極的框架信息，這應該歸因于一個被稱為親本投資理論的進化現象，薩德-加德博士說。 　　選擇那些貧窮的養家者或者缺乏愛心的父親將會給一個女人和她的后代帶來嚴重的影響。因此我們推測女性在衡量未來的另一半時，對消極信息更加敏感。 　　為了證明這個理論，薩德及其同事崔帕德吉爾博士，邀請了上百個年輕的男性和女性參與調查。 　　參與者都被給予潛在伴侶的積極和消極的框架說明。例如，認識這個人的10人中有7人認為這個人是好人以及認識這個人的10人中有3人認為他不友善。 　　研究者用6個關鍵性控制程序測試框架效應，其中的兩個分別對男性和女性更重要一些，并且這兩個被看做是兩性必需品： 　　有吸引力的身體 　　有吸引力的面孔 　　收入潛力 　　雄心壯志 　　仁慈善良 　　聰明智慧 　　參與者通過這些特征，在一個短期戀情或者長期關系的情境下來衡量高品質的和低品質的未來伴侶。 　　通常，女性稱她們不太可能與消極框架下的潛在伴侶約會，盡管在每個例子中，她們被提供的信息和積極框架下的信息幾乎完全相同。 　　同時，研究也證明女性會對框架效應更加敏感，尤其像抱負、收入潛力等特征，而男性則更看重外表。
