美研究:中国独生子女是"垮掉的一代"?

A research published in the US journal Science said that the first only children generation in China have relatively low mutual trusts, more pessimistic emotions, are more likely to avoid risk, and prefer stable jobs。
刊登在美国《科学》杂志上的一项研究称，澳大利亚4所大学对421名北京成人做了一些测试，受试者出生于1975年—1983年间，结果发现，独生子女一代的“互信程度较低、情绪上更悲观、更倾向于规避风险、更喜欢稳定的工作”。

Children are the core of the one child families, which makes some of them impolite, irresponsible, and selfish。
不可否认，独生子女作为家庭的核心，一切家庭活动围着孩子转的特殊地位，使一些孩子变得没有礼貌、缺乏责任心、自我意识强烈。

However, there's bias in the report. The research with small sample size negates a generation of the only children is an overgeneralization. Scholars from Oxford University said that people's spirit of bearing hardship will decline when society gets rich, which is not specific to the only children in China, and we can't criticize them as selfish for this reason. Moreover, the only children will correct their shortcomings constantly and improve themselves。
但是，报告也有偏颇之处，小样本量的研究并不能以偏概全，从而否定一代独生子女。英国牛津大学学者就认为，在社会变富裕时，人的吃苦精神会下降，这并不是中国独生子女特有的，我们不能因此就批评中国的独生子女自私自利。而且，独生子女会在成长中不断修正自己的缺点，更好地认识和完善自己。

A research jointly conducted by Peking University and the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences also shows that the only children are more open in their personalities, more satisfactory in their lives, more outgoing, and more stable in their emotions. They enjoy being free and alone, but their communication abilities are not poor; they have small circles of friends, but their friendships are more solid and longstanding. Moreover, on many occasions, the first only children generation in China has become the main force of social development。
北京大学[微博]与中科院心理所发表在美国《人格与个体差异》杂志上的一项研究也表明，独生子女在人格开放性、生活满意度、外向性和情绪稳定性方面更好。他们虽然更享受独来独往，但不代表沟通能力差；他们的朋友圈小，但关系更牢固持久，而且，在很多场合和工作中，中国第一代独生子女已成为社会发展的主力军。不过，仍然需要提醒的是，已渐为人父人母的第一代独生子女们，应该好好利用自身资源、避免不利因素，教育好“独二代”。

What need to remind is that the first only children generation who have become parents should make good use of their resources, try to avoid adverse factors and well educate the second only children generation. Society and schools should provide children chances to adapt and develop interpersonal communications and EQ education, so as to remedy the shortcomings of family education。
让孩子进入角色。家庭成员的爱和责任是循环的，而非单向的。家长要告诉孩子每个时期他的责任与义务，让他明白自己的角色，教他体贴与理解的意义，懂得分享的快乐。社会和学校也要给孩子学习适应、培养人际交往和情商教育的机会，以补足家庭教育的短板。
