A study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology found that children, like adults, inherently trust good-looking people more than unattractive ones. 一份发表于《心理学前沿》杂志的研究发现,孩子和成年人一样会本能地更信任长相好看的人而非缺少魅力的人。 For the study, a team of Chinese researchers recruited groups of 8-, 10-, and 12-year-olds, with 33 to 34 kids in each group (a similarly sized group of college students served as a control). These pint-size volunteers viewed a series of 200 unfamiliar faces, categorizing each one as trustworthy, untrustworthy, or neither; a month later, they came back to view the same faces, this time rating them on attractiveness. 为了开展本项研究,中国研究团队招募了一群8岁、10岁和12岁大的孩子,每组33至34人(数量相当的大学生组成控制组)。小志愿者们观看了一系列200个不熟悉的面孔,将它们分为“值得信任的”、“不值得信任的”和“无法判断的”;一个月之后,他们又回来看了同样的面孔,这次根据魅力值为它们划分等级。 |
