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(guān)注伴侶的外表會(huì)讓人們從愛情中收獲的快感降低。

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(guān)注伴侶外表勝于一切)對(duì)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(xué)的艾琳對(duì)159名大二年級(jí)學(xué)生進(jìn)行了問卷調(diào)查。學(xué)生們需在問卷上填寫他們的戀愛狀況、媒體消費(fèi)狀況以及對(duì)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(cè)量，就是學(xué)生對(duì)于一些問題表示同意或者不同意等態(tài)度，諸如：“我很少琢磨自己/伴侶長(zhǎng)得怎么樣”以及“我常常注意我/伴侶的衣服是不是有型?！睖y(cè)試結(jié)果中，男士的伴侶客觀化水平高于女士。

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(fā)現(xiàn)，伴侶客觀化降低了關(guān)系滿意度，以及男性的性滿意程度。艾琳稱，這大概因?yàn)閷?duì)外表的關(guān)注容易讓人忽略對(duì)方的其他方面，導(dǎo)致關(guān)系滿意度降低，親密度下降。
