看重愛侶外表會讓降低戀愛快感
It turns out that concentrating on their partners' physical attractiveness may make people less happy in relationships, new research suggests.
最新研究表明，過度關注伴侶的外表會讓人們從愛情中收穫的快感降低。
Partner-objectification, where that focus is placed on a partner's physical qualities over everything else, hasn't been studied in the context of romantic relationships.
此前，人們從未研究過伴侶客觀化（即關注伴侶外表勝於一切）對愛情的影響。
Eileen Zurbriggen of the University of California polled 159 sophomores. The students were asked to fill out a survey on their romantic relationships, their media consumption and their feelings of objectification.
如今加州大學的艾琳對159名大二年級學生進行了問卷調查。學生們需在問卷上填寫他們的戀愛狀況、媒體消費狀況以及對客觀化的感覺。
Objectification was measured by how strongly the students agreed or disagreed with statements such as: "I rarely think about how I/my partner looks" and "I often worry about whether the clothes I'm/my partner is wearing make me/them look good." The men showed higher levels of partner-objectification than the women.
所謂客觀化的測量，就是學生對於一些問題表示同意或者不同意等態度，諸如：“我很少琢磨自己/伴侶長得怎麼樣”以及“我常常注意我/伴侶的衣服是不是有型。”測試結果中，男士的伴侶客觀化水平高於女士。
Eileen found partner-objectification lowered relationship satisfaction, as well as men's sexual satisfaction. This could be because concentrating on your partner's attractiveness tends to make you less concerned with your partner as a whole, leading to a less satisfying relationship and decreased intimacy, she said.
艾琳發現，伴侶客觀化降低了關係滿意度，以及男性的性滿意程度。艾琳稱，這大概因爲對外表的關注容易讓人忽略對方的其他方面，導致關係滿意度降低，親密度下降。
