Having children really does make a man more content with life. WILL fatherhood make me happy?That is a question many men have found themselves asking, and the scientific evidence is equivocal. A lot of studies have linked parenthoodparticularly fatherhood.with lower levels of marital satisfaction and higher rates of depression than are found among non-parents.
有了自己的孩子的确会让男人更热爱自己的生活,当爸爸会让我开心么?这是一个许多男人都会问自己的问题,然而科学家们对此的措辞却含糊不清。许多研究项目将双亲的身份尤其是父亲,和低满足感与高压抑感联系起来,而且认为那些没有为人父母的人们则要逍遥许多。
Biologically speaking, that looks odd.Natural selection might be expected to favour the progeny of men who enjoy bringing them up.On the other hand, the countervailing pressure to have other children, by other women, may leave the man who is already encumbered by a set of offspring dissatisfied.
从生物学的角度来说,以上的观点其实很滑稽。因为从自然选择的角度来说,大自然会更加青睐那些由开心的父亲抚养大的孩子。从另一个角度来看,男人天性受到一种相反的压力,希望和其他女性生育更多的孩子,这种压力可能会让受到现有子女负累的父亲感到不满。
To investigate the matter further Sonja Lyubomirsky, a psychologist at the University of California, Riverside, decided both to study the existing literature, and to conduct some experiments of her own.The results, just published in Psychological Science, suggest parenthood in general, and fatherhood in particular, really are blessings, even though the parent in question might sometimes feel they are in disguise.
