 Smooth operator: A woman is more attracted to a man when she is uncertain about how much he likes her, according to a study. |

Male singletons counting down the days to Valentine's Day might want to take note. A woman is more attracted to a man when she is uncertain about how much he likes her, according to scientists. A study published in the journal Psychological Science said: 'When people first meet, it may be that popular dating advice is correct - keeping people in the dark about how much we like them will increase how much they think about us and will pique their interest.' To arrive at their conclusion, the researchers - Erin Whitchurch and Timothy Wilson of the University of Virginia and Daniel Gilbert of Harvard University - analysed 47 female undergraduates. But, in order to get a natural response, the University of Virginia volunteers didn't know the exact nature of the experiment they were taking part in. Instead, they were told scientists were conducting a survey into whether Facebook could work as an online dating website. Each student was told that male students from two other universities had viewed her profile and those of 15 to 20 other females. Then the women were shown four men's Facebook profiles that they thought were real, but were actually fictitious. Some of the women were told they'd seen the four men who liked them the most, while others were informed these were four men who rated them about average. A third group was told the men could be either the ones who liked them most or the ones who liked them about average - so those women didn't know about the level of the men's interest in them. Women who believed the men liked them a lot were more attracted to the men than women who thought the men liked them only an average amount. However, the women who found the men most attractive were the ones who weren't sure whether those men were into them or not. The authors said: 'Numerous popular books advise people not to display their affections too openly to a potential romantic partner and to instead appear choosy and selective.' (Read by Nelly Min.

那些為情人節的到來而發愁的單身男士們需要看看這篇文章。 科學家們發現，如果一個女人不確定一個男人有多喜歡她，那么這個女人更容易被該男人吸引。 一項發表在《心理科學》雜志上的研究報告稱：“有個流行的約會建議也許說的沒錯——初次見面時，不要讓對方看出你有多喜歡他/她，這樣會給你的形象加分，并會引起對方的興趣。” 為了證實以上結論，研究人員分析了47個女大學生的反應。參與該研究的研究人員有弗吉尼亞大學的埃林?惠特徹奇和蒂莫西?威爾遜、以及哈佛大學的丹尼爾?吉爾伯特。 不過，為了確保被調查者的反應是自然的，弗吉尼亞大學的這些志愿者們并不知道她們參與的這項調查的實質內容。 研究人員告訴志愿者說，科學家們在研究Facebook網站是否能發揮婚戀交友網站的功能。 研究人員告訴每個女學生說其他兩個大學的男生已經看過了她們以及其他15到20個女性的個人資料。 接著研究人員給這些女學生看了四個男生在Facebook上的個人資料，這些資料是虛構的，但是女生們并不知情。 研究人員告訴一些女生說她們看過的這四個男生是最喜歡她們的，同時告訴另一些女生說這四個男生覺得她們挺普通的。 第三組人則被告知說這些男生可能最喜歡她們，也可能對她們沒什么特別感覺。于是這些女生就不知道男生們對她們的興趣有多大。 和那些認為男生對她們感覺一般的女生相比，那些相信男生很喜歡她們的女生更容易被男生吸引。 然而，認為這些男生最有魅力的卻是那些不確定男生是否喜歡她們的女生。 幾位作者說：“很多暢銷書都建議人們不要對一個潛在的戀愛對象過于明顯地表露他們的情感，相反，這些書建議人們應該表現得更挑剔一些。” 相關閱讀 （中國日報網英語點津 崔旭燕 編輯：陳丹妮） |
