  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,过度关注伴侣的外表会让人们从爱情中收获的快感降低。
  Partner-objectification, where that focus is placed on a partner's physical qualities over everything else, hasn't been studied in the context1 of romantic relationships。
  此前,人们从未研究过伴侣客观化(即关注伴侣外表胜于一切)对爱情的影响。
  Eileen Zurbriggen of the University of California polled2 159 sophomores3. The students were asked to fill out a survey on their romantic relationships, their media consumption4 and their feelings of objectification。
  如今加州大学的艾琳对159名大二年级学生进行了问卷调查。学生们需在问卷上填写他们的恋爱状况、媒体消费状况以及对客观化的感觉。
  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。
  所谓客观化的测量,就是学生对于一些问题表示同意或者不同意等态度,诸如:“我很少琢磨自己/伴侣长得怎么样”以及“我常常注意我/伴侣的衣服是不是有型。”测试结果中,男士的伴侣客观化水平高于女士。
  Eileen found partner-objectification lowered relationship satisfaction, as well as men's sexual5 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 intimacy6, she said。
  艾琳发现,伴侣客观化降低了关系满意度,以及男性的性满意程度。艾琳称,这大概因为对外表的关注容易让人忽略对方的其他方面,导致关系满意度降低,亲密度下降。
