研究表明
:在两性及众多文化中,长相好的人,特别是从青春期开始,往往
被评价为具有出色的性
格特质的人。
事情为何如此?有些人觉得,
< br>由于遇见外表迷人者和品德优良者都令人愉快,
我们会不假思索地把这二者混为一
谈。

的桑波·保诺宁
(Sampo
Paunonen)
博
士的研究发现
,
被形容为较诚实的人也会被认为更讨人喜欢,
而越讨人喜欢的
人,
外貌也就更具吸引力。
Research has shown that in both sexes
and across
numerous
cultures,
especially
from adolescence,
good-
looking people are often
evaluated to
be ones
with exceptional personality
traits.
Why
should
this
be
so?
Some
people
have
perceived
that
since
it
is
pleasurable
to
meet
someone
with
attractive
physical
appearance
and
someone with good moral character, we
automatically
mix them up.
But this statement does not seem to be
objective. The studies by Dr. Sampo
Paunonen
of
the
University
of
Western
Ontario
reveal
that
people
who
were
described as being more honest were
rated as more likable, and the more likable,
the more physically attractive.
Unit 2
1960
年简·古多尔开始了她在坦桑尼亚的贡贝溪国家公园对黑猩猩社群的
研究。
由于没有专业的训练来指导其研究,
古多尔观察到了可能会被严
格的科学
教条
(doctrine)
所
忽视的东西。
她没有给进入观察的黑猩猩编号,而是给他们取
名,如菲菲和灰胡子大卫,
并发现他们具有独特的个性。古多尔在贡贝溪的研究在科学界
最为人称道的是,
她的发现打破了当时人们长期存在的两个信念:只有人类才会制造和使
用工具,
以及黑猩猩是素食者。
Jane Goodall began studying the
chimpanzee community in Gombe Stream
National
Park,
Tanzania,
in
1960.
Without
professional
training
to
direct
her
research,
Goodall
observed
things
that
strict
scientific
doctrines
may
have
overlooked.
Instead of numbering the chimpanzees
she observed, she gave them names
such
as
Fifi
and
David
Greybeard,
and
found
they
had
unique
and
individual
personalities.
Goodall’s research at Gombe Stream is best known
to the scientific
community
for
challenging
two
long-standing
beliefs
of
the
day:
that
only
humans could make and use tools, and
that chimpanzees were vegetarians.
