Whether it's your sibling, best friend, parent or even your boss, you've called someone stupid at some point in your life. But how do we even define "stupid" behavior, and what can we do to avoid acting stupidly? 生活中有时候你会说某个人很蠢，不管这个人是你的兄弟姐妹、最好的朋友、父母、甚至是你的老板。但是我们如何定义“愚蠢”的行为呢，我们要怎样做才能不做蠢事呢？ A new study offers a scientific answer. 一项新研究为我们提供了科学的答案。 "Although calling something stupid is a frequent everyday behavior," Balázs Aczél, a psychology professor at Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest and a co-author of the study, told The Huffington Post in an email, "there has been no psychological study to understand why and when people use this label to describe the observed actions." 布达佩斯罗兰大学教授兼该项研究联合研究员Balázs Aczél通过一封邮件告诉《赫芬顿邮报》称：“尽管人们经常说某些东西很蠢，但历史上从未有过心理学研究表明人们为什么、在什么时候会用此标签来描述所观察到的行为。” The researchers found that, despite the ambiguous definition of "stupid," there was a 90 percent rate of agreement between participants in which actions were seen as stupid. The researchers also noticed that there were three different types of behaviors, which were most often deemed as stupid. |
