研究發現 吵架的夫妻會更長壽

It may not be good news for your neighbors, but a blazing row with your other half could be the secret to a long life.

對左鄰右舍來說這或許不是什麼好消息，但是與另一半大吵一架有可能是長壽的祕訣。

Couples who let it all out during a tiff have a lower risk of ill health and dying early, a study has found.

一項研究發現，那些在吵架時把情緒盡情爆發出來的夫妻，患病和早逝的風險較低。

The key is to make sure you're both dealing with a dispute in the same manner, scientists said.

科學家們稱，關鍵是要確保夫妻雙方對待吵架的態度一致。

Those who bottle up their anger while the other partner lets rip almost double their risk of an early death, they said.

如果夫妻當中的一人習慣隱藏怒火，而他的另一半習慣大吵大鬧，那他們早死的風險幾乎翻倍。

Researchers from the University of Arizona's psychology department say that, when couples react differently during arguments, it creates stress.

亞利桑那大學心理學系的研究人員表示，當一對夫妻在爭吵時的反應風格不一致時，壓力便隨之產生。

"Discordant response styles may lead to increased relational conflict, which undermines long-term health," they said.

他們表示：“對爭吵的不同反應風格可能導致更大的人際衝突，從而損害長期健康。”
