What are Britons worrying?
|
Britons spend more than five years of their total life worrying, or 27 days a year, according to a survey.
The biggest cause for anxiety is personal health, followed by financial issues and crime, the findings of advice website ReallyWorried.com revealed.
Young people in their late teens worried most, with 10 per cent spending 12 hours a day stressing, although perhaps surprisingly getting on the property ladder preoccupied them more than sex, their education or environmental fears.
Women worry more about their partners having affairs while men worried more about sex, either a lack of it or their performance, according to the research based on a survey of 2,000 Britons.
"The research shows that most people in Britain are really worried, whether it's about something monumental like their partner is cheating on them or something relatively simple to sort out such as getting to grips with technology," said Richard Rubin, founder of ReallyWorried.com.
The survey's top 10 worry issues were:
1. Personal health
2.Outgoings& income
3. Crime
4. Cost of living
5. Terrorism
6. My children's future
7. National Health Service
8. Gun/knife culture
9. Global warming
10. Pensions

一項調查顯示，英國人一生中有五年多的時間（即一年有27天）在發愁。
ReallyWorried.com咨詢網站的此項調查結果顯示，英國人最擔心的是個人健康問題，其次是經濟和犯罪問題。
調查顯示，十八九歲的年輕人最愛發愁，有10%的人一天12個小時都處于壓抑狀態。但令人驚訝的是，他們最擔憂的問題竟然是如何“致富”，然后才是性、教育和環境問題。
這項對兩千人進行的調查顯示，女性最擔心配偶會搞婚外戀，而男性則主要擔心性的問題，他們要么擔心性生活不夠，要么擔心自己在性生活中的表現。
ReallyWorried.com網站的創辦者理查德·拉賓說，“調查表明，大部分英國人都很愛‘操心’。他們不是擔心伴侶背叛這種大問題，就是擔心如何緊跟科技這種小問題。”
英國人擔心的十大問題：
1.個人健康
2.個人財務狀況
3.犯罪問題
4.生活費用
5.恐怖主義
6.子女前途
7.國民醫療服務
8.“刀槍”文化
9.全球變暖
10.養老金問題
