囧研究：男人其實比女人更感性
He might like you to believe he's as hard as nails, but don’t be fooled by your man’s tough exterior.
男性往往希望別人相信自己是像鋼鐵一般堅強的，但是你要當心，別被他們強悍的外表所矇蔽了。
Enlightening new research has found that men are in fact more emotional than women.
一則令人震驚的新研究成果表明，男性其實比女性更感情豐富。
The experiment found that when men and women watched the same heart-warming videos, it was the men who experienced stronger physiological reactions.
這項實驗結果證實，當男性和女性同時觀賞一部感動人心的視頻時，男性會體驗到更爲強烈的心理反應。
But true to type, when asked about their emotions, the women admitted feeling more emotional than the men did.
但是，如人們慣常所知的是，當被問及他們的感受時，女性更願意表示自己受到了情感上的觸動。
In the experiment, a group of 30 participants (15 fathers and 15 mothers) were presented with a series of images and videos, while their physiological responses were measured via skin conductance electrodes attached to their fingers.
這項實驗中共有30名參與者（15位父親和15位母親），他們一同觀看了一系列的圖片和視頻，研究者們通過連接在參與者手指上的皮膚電導電極，可以觀測他們的心理反應。
The content they were presented with was categorised into four topics: blissful, funny, exciting and heart-warming.
他們所觀賞的圖片和視頻可以分爲四個主題：祥和類的，幽默類的，刺激類的和感人類的。
Men demonstrated a marginally higher emotional reaction to the blissful, funny and exciting content, compared to the women.
與女性相比，男性對祥和類的，幽默類的，刺激類這三類材料表現出略高的情感反應。
However, the experiment found that men responded twice as strongly as women with higher levels of physiological emotion when presented with heart-warming content.
但同時，研究發現，當參與者觀看感人類的研究材料時，男性的心理反應程度是女性的兩倍之多。
The men’s emotional reactions significantly spiked when they watched a video of a solider coming home from war and reuniting with his daughter.
尤其在觀看一部表現士兵在戰後回到家裏，與女兒重聚的視頻時，男性的情感反應程度表現出激增的趨勢。
As part of the experiment, participants also had to rate the content on a questionnaire to say how it made them feel.
作爲該實驗的一部分，參與者們還必須填寫一張調查問卷，爲自己觀看了研究材料之後感受到的心理反應程度評出幾個等級。
As expected, women said they felt more emotional in response to the content compared to the men.
如研究者意料到的一樣，和男性相比，女性更願意坦誠的承認，她們觀看了研究材料後體驗到強烈的情感反應。
However, even though men reported feeling less emotion than women, their physiological changes showed that in fact they felt emotion more strongly.
然而，雖然男性表示自己並沒有像女性那樣產生強烈的情緒反應，事實上，他們的心理活動變化已經反應了這一事實，即他們比女性體驗到的感情更加強烈。
