【听美文故事记六级单词】男性的直觉能力高于女性(2/2)

Professor Richard Wiseman, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire, said, "I was surprised, given that women had so much more confidence in their intuition. We thought women would be better but, overall, men just pipped them to the post." These findings question the notion that women really are more intuitive than men. Some previous research has found evidence for female intiuition but perhaps, over time, men have become more in touch with their intuitive side. Before studying the faces, participants were asked to rate their intuitive abilities. More women defined themselves as highly intuitive, 77 percent compared with just 58 percent of men. Dr Wiseman said: "This could be because women experience emotions more fully and are more expressive. If men have a more limited emotional system, this may make it easier for them to fake it."

作为心理学家，赫特福德大学的教授理查德·怀斯曼说： 我很惊讶，考虑到女性一贯被认为在直觉上有自信的。我们本以为女性直觉会更有效，但是事实上男性在直觉上却占了上风。 这些发现都让过去多数人认为的女性确实比男性直觉更灵这一结论不再成立。先前的研究也是有依据的，但也许随着时间推移，男性开始更多地使用他们的直觉。 在识别照片之前，参与者被要求评价他们的直觉能力。 更多的女性认为自己有较强的直觉能力，77%女性这么认为，而男性只有58%。 怀斯曼博士说：“这可能是因为女性能更全面地体验情感，更具表现力。如果男性的情感表达还能再弱些，那么他们将更容易蒙蔽女性的眼睛。”
