调查:女性道歉的次数比男性多

　　Women apologized more and reported committing more offensive acts, but both men and women apologized about 81 percent of the time when they deemed their actions offensive.

　　记录显示女性道歉次数更多，做出冒犯的事情也比较多。但是研究显示无论男女，当他们认为自己做错事情，承认错误的比例都是81%。

　　In the second study, 120 undergraduates rated how severe they thought a particular offensive was. For instance, they had to imagine they woke their friend up late at night, and because of the sleep disturbance, the friend did poorly on an interview the next day. Women rated the offenses as more severe than men did, and women were also more likely to say the friend deserved an apology.

　　在第二个研究试验中，120名本科生对一项特定的冒犯进行严重程度评级。例如，他们必须想象他们在夜里很晚的时候把朋友给吵醒，朋友因为睡眠被打扰，所以在第二天的面试中表现很差。在研究中，女性认为自己冒犯朋友的程度要比男性高，而且女性会认为她们应该对朋友道歉。

　　Women might have a lower threshold for what requires an apology because they are more concerned with the emotional experiences of others and in promoting harmony in their relationships, Schumann speculated.

　　舒曼推测，（相比男性），女性的道歉标准更低一些是因为他们更关注其他人的情感体验，也更希望和其他人保持融洽的关系。

　　Recognizing that men and women may perceive situations differently may help the genders to get along.

　　认识到两性在认知周围环境时存在差异可以帮助他们更好地相处。

　　The studies, detailed in the journal Psychological Science Online of September 21, were small and involved only university students, so the findings might not be applicable to all men and women in general.

　　这些调查详细刊登在9月21日的《心理学科学杂志》网络版，因为调查对象人数较少，又都是大学生，所以一般来说，这些发现并不适用于所有的男性和女性。
