科学家发现"红女绿男"现象远古根源

2011-04-28来源:环球网

  Girls really do prefer pink–and not just because it is pretty. Scientists have shown that females are drawn to pinks and reds and men to blues and greens – and they believe the explanation lies our hunter-gatherer past.

  女孩子们确实更喜欢粉色——这可不仅仅是因为它显人可爱的缘故。科学家宣称女性更喜欢红粉色系,男性倾心于蓝绿色系,而且他们将这种喜好归功于我们狩猎采集的过去。

  As the gatherers of the operation, women's brains became fine-tuned to the purples and reds of ripe fruits and berries. The men, meanwhile, developed a preference for the clear blue skies that signaled good weather for hunting.

  由于女性担任采集者这一角色,她们的大脑开始和成熟莓果的紫红色系相一致。同时男性也因为蓝天代表了狩猎的好天气而更偏好冷色调。

  The theory comes from Chinese scientists who asked more than 350 students to study 11 colors for three minutes.

  中国科学家在对350名学生就11种颜色进行了3分钟测试后得出了上述结论。

  This revealed the women to favor pink, purple and white and the men to like blue and green, the journal Personality and Individual Differences reports. The experiment also revealed introverted men to be fond of yellow and neurotic women to be keen on grey.

  《人格与个体差异》称这些科学家发现,女性更喜欢粉色、紫色和白色,而男性更喜欢蓝色和绿色。实验还揭示出,内向男子更喜欢黄色,而有焦虑症状的女子热衷灰色。
