感情问题危害少女精神健康

A new study surprised researchers, finding that for adolescent girls, romantic relationship
problems can have serious, negative implications for their mental health.
一项新的研究震惊了 研究
者。研究发现对青春期的少女来说，感情问题对她们的精神健康会产生严重的负面影响。
“ I
found that girls’ risk
of severe depression, thoughts of suicide, and suicide attempt increase the more
their relationships diverge from what they imagined,” said the study’s author Brian Soller, Ph.D., an
assistant professor of sociology at the University of New Me xico.“
我发现，
恋爱关系越偏离女孩的
想象，她们患严重抑郁症的风险、自杀的 想法和企图就会增加。
”
该研究的作者、新墨西哥大
学的社会学助理教授布瑞恩
·
索勒博士说道。
“Conversely, I found no evidence that romantic
relationship inauthenticity
—
which captures the extent to which relationships unfold in ways that are
inconsistent with how adolescents think or feel they should
—
contributes to poor mental health
among boys.”“
相反，我发现即使恋情进展不尽如 人意，恋爱关系也并不会影响男孩的精神健
康。
”Soller used data from more than 5,300 high school students from the National Longitudinal
Study of Adolescent Health. From this data set he examined the mental health consequences of
mismatches between adolescents’ ideal and actual relationships.
索勒 使用了来自国家青少年健康
纵向研究的
5300
多名中学生数据。
从这个数据 中，
他检测了现实恋情与理想恋情不一致对青少
年的精神健康造成的影响。
The study appears in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
这项研
究发表在
《健康与社会行为》
杂志上。
S oller measured relationship inauthenticity by comparing how
adolescents described their ideal relationship in an initial interview with how their first relationship
after the interview actually played out.
索勒通过把青少年在最初的采访中描 述的理想恋爱与采访
结束后的实际恋爱情况作对比，
来测量恋爱关系与理想恋爱的不一致性。< br>“
In the initial interview,
researchers provided adolescents with a number of cards describing events that often occur within
relationships, including everything from hand-
holding and kissing to sex,” Soller said. “
在最初的测
试中，研究者们给青少年提供了许多描述恋爱的卡片，这些事情从牵手、接吻到性 爱，
”
索勒
说。
Respondents kept cards describing events they would engage in within an ideal relationship, and
then indicated the order in which the events would occur.
在测试中，
测试者保留描述理想恋爱的卡
片，
并且给出事件发生的顺序。
Roughly a year later, the respondents repeated the exercise, only this
time they indicated which events took place within their relationship, and then provided the order in
which the events transpi red.
大约一年后，测试者重新进行测试，只是这次不同的是：她们要选
择那些在自己恋爱中 真是发生的事情，然后提供事情发生的顺序。
During both interviews,
researchers asked participants about their mental health.
在两次测试中，研究者都询问了测试者她
们的精神状态。
As for why relationship inauthenticity increased the risk of mental health problems
for girls, but not for boys, Soller said, “Romantic relationships are particularly important
components of girls’ identities and a
re, therefore, strongly related to how they feel about themselves
—
good or bad.
为什么恋爱关系不如意会影响女孩的精神健康，而对男孩 没什么影响呢？索勒
说，
“
恋爱关系对女孩这一身份来说格外重要，所以恋爱也会影响 到她们对自身的看法
——
要
么良好要么糟糕。
”“As a result, relationships that diverge from what girls envision for themselves
are especially damaging to their emotional well-
being.”“
结 果，如果恋爱关系不如意，就会对女孩
的情感健康产生极大影响。
”On the other hand, Soller said relationships are not as important to
boys’ identities.
然而，索勒说，恋爱关系对 于男孩这一身份来说不是那么重要。
“Boys may be
more likely to build their identities around sports or other extracurricular activities, so this could be
why they are not affected by relationship inauthenticity,” he said.“
男孩更容易在运动或其他课余活
动中 找到自我认同感，所以这也说明了为什么他们对于恋爱不如意的反应不是那么敏感。
”In
terms of the study’s policy implications, Soller said parents, educators, and p
olicymakers should
黑马英语

think about how to help girls construct identities that are less closely tied to romantic involvement.
基
于这一研究结果，
索勒说家长、
老师和决策人应 该多想想如何帮助女孩脱离恋爱对自身的影响。
“Helping girls build their identities around things other than romantic relationships may mi
tigate the
effects of relationship inauthenticity on their mental health,” he said.“
帮助女孩建立自我认同感，
而
不是仅仅依赖于 恋爱关系，这样就可以减缓恋爱不如意对她们精神健康的影响。
”
索勒说道。

with no income. I lived with my boyfriend of then only 3 months who financially supported me and
our relationship was put under great pressure. I eventually regained my physical health, but not long
after that I got a call from my family at home to say that my father’s cancer had fiercely progressed
and that he had been admitted to a hospice.
然后我患上了慢性疲劳综合症，
几乎到了卧床不起的地步。
我不得不辞掉工作，
同时也就断了
财源。我和那时仅相处了
3
个月的男友住在一起，经济上完全依赖于他，我们的关系承受着巨
大压力。终于我恢 复健康，但不久，我接到家里的电话，父亲的癌症急剧恶化，已经住进了临

I left the city and I went home to be with him.
我离开了城市，回家陪父亲。
He died

My father was a complete inspiration to me. He was always so
strong that, for a minute after he drew his last breath, I honestly thought he would come back to life.
I couldn’t believe I would never again cuddle into his big warm chest and feel safe no matter what.

父亲的事让我彻底清醒。他一直很强壮，在他咽气之后一分 钟里，我真的认为，他会活过来。

打开心门拥抱生活



黑马英语工作室

蔡老师
We often close ourselves off when traumatic events happen in our
lives; instead of letting the world soften us, we let it drive us deeper into ourselves. We try to deflect
the hurt and pain by pretending it doesn’t exist, but although we can try this
all we want, in the end,
we can’t hide from ourselves. We need to learn to open our hearts to the potentials of life and let the
world soften us.
生活发生不幸时，
我 们常常会关上心门；
世界不仅没能慰藉我们，
反倒使我们更加消沉。
我们
假装 一切仿佛都不曾发生，以此试图忘却伤痛，可就算隐藏得再好，最终也还是骗不了自己。
既然如此，何不尝试打开心门，
拥抱生活中的各种可能，
让世界感化我们呢？
Wheneve r we start
to let our fears and seriousness get the best of us, we should take a step back and re-evaluate our
behavior. The items listed below are six ways you can open your heart more fully and completely.
当恐惧与焦虑来袭时，
我们应该退后一步，< br>重新反思自己的言行。
下面六个方法有助于你更完
满透彻地敞开心扉。
1. Breathe into pain
直面痛苦
Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to embrace it instead of running away
or trying to mask the hurt. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it. When we
run away from sadness th
at’s unfolding in our lives, it gets stronger and more real. We take an
emotion that’s fleeting and make it a solid event, instead of something that passes through us.

当生活中出 现痛苦的事情时，
别再逃跑或隐藏痛苦，
试着拥抱它吧；
当悲伤来袭时，
试着 深呼
吸，
然后直面它。
如果我们一味逃避生活中的悲伤，
悲伤只会变得更强烈 更真实
——
悲伤原本
只是稍纵即逝的情绪，
我们却固执地耿耿于怀。
By utilizing our breath we soften our experiences.
If we dam them up, our lives will stagnate, but when we keep them flowing, we allow more newness
and greater experiences to blossom. 深呼吸能减缓我们的感受。屏住呼吸，生活停滞；呼出呼吸，更多新奇与经历又将拉开序幕。
2. Embrace the uncomfortable
拥抱不安
We all know what that twinge of anxiety feels like. We know how fear feels in our bodies:
the tension in our necks, the tightness in our stomachs, etc. We can practice leaning into these
feelings of discomfort and let them show us where we need to go.
我们都经历过焦灼的煎熬感，也都感受过恐惧造成的生理反应：脖子僵硬、胃酸翻腾。其实，< br>我们有能力面对这些痛苦的感受，从中领悟到出路。
The initial impulse is to run away
—
to try
and suppress these feelings by not acknowledging them. When we do this, we close ourselves off to
the parts of our lives that we need to experience most. The next time you have this feeling of being
truly uncomfortable, do yourself a favor and lean into the feeling. Act in spite of the fear.
我们的第一反应 总是逃避
——
以为否认不安情绪的存在就能万事大吉，
可这也恰好妨碍了我们
经历最需要的生活体验。下次感到不安时，不管有多害怕，也请试着勇敢面对吧。

3.



Ask your heart what it wants
倾听内心
We’re often confused at the next step to take, making pros and cons lists until our eyes
bleed and our brains are sore. Instead of always taking this approach, what if we engaged a new
part of ourselves that isn’t usually involved in the dec
ision making process?
我 们常对未来犹疑不定，
反复考虑利弊直到身心俱疲。
与其一味顾虑重重，
不如从局外人 的
角度看待决策之事。

I know we’ve all felt decisions or actions that we had to take simply due to our “gut”
黑马英语

5

impulses: when asked, we can’t explain the reasons behind doing so —
just a deep knowing that it
had to get done. This instinct is the part of ourselves we’re approaching for answers.

其实很多决定或行动都是我们一念之间的结果：
要是追问原因的话 ，
恐怕我们自己也道不清
说不明，只是感到直觉如此罢了。而这种直觉恰好是我们探索结果的潜 在自我。
To start this
process, take few deep breaths then ask, “Heart, what decision should I make her
e? What action
feels the most right?”

开始前先做几次深呼吸，问自己：
“
内心认为该做什么样的 决定呢？觉得采取哪个方案最恰
当？
”See what comes up, then engage and evaluate the outcome.

看看自己的内心反应如何，然后全力以赴、静待结果吧。

it
living
someone

Don't
let

Now, let's for a moment be realistic about this. Insightful as
that advice may be, it sounds a little too amorphous and challenging to
resonate with today's quick-fix culture. These days, if you can't tell
people exactly what to do and how to do it, it falls on deaf ears.

Not only that, but what Jobs was talking about, what
I'm

about,
requires
focus
and
discipline,
two
things
that
are
very
hard to come by these days. Why? Because, focus and discipline are hard.
It's so much easier to give in to distraction and instant gratification.
