雙語囧研究：誰說個性互補在一起才幸福？

A new study conducted by relationship researchers from Wellesley and the University of Kansas says that opposites don't attract. In reality, people are attracted to others who have the same views and values as themselves.

　　韋爾斯利學院和勘薩斯大學的關係研究人員進行的一項新的研究表明，（個性）異性並不相互吸引。在現實中，人們容易被那些有著相同觀點和價值觀的人所吸引。

　　The study, which was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, found a 「paradigm shift」 in how we view our relationships. In order to discover how important similarity was in forming relationships, professor Angela Bahns and her team of researchers approached over 1,500 random pairs (romantic couples, friends, and acquaintances) and surveyed them on their values, prejudices, attitudes and personality traits. In fact, future friends or partners are actually similar 「at the outset of their social connection.」In other words, people had similar views on life even if they had just met.

　　這項發表於《人格與社會心理學》雜誌上的研究發現，我們在看待人際關係時發生了「範式轉移」。為了研究相似性在建立人際關係時的重要性，安吉拉·巴恩斯教授和她的研究團隊隨機找來了1500多對情侶、朋友和熟人，調查了他們的價值觀，偏見，態度和性格特徵。事實上，「一開始從他們的社會關係」來看，未來的朋友或伴侶實際上可以很相似。換句話說，即使剛剛認識彼此，他們對生活的看法也會是相似的。

　　Here are some other reasons why opposites don』t attract, according to science and experts:

　　以下就是科學和專家研究出來的異質性格的人不會相互吸引的一些其他原因：
