外出购物时与女性同行，可让你的决策更合理

Researchers from the Carroll School of Management at Boston College tested a range of buying and selling goods with a different range of prizes, on 900 pairs of volunteers.

波士顿学院卡罗尔管理研究院的研究人员测试了900对志愿者在购买和销售价格各异的商品时的行为。

'When men are in the presence of other men, they feel the need to prove their masculinity', Professor Hristina Nikolova, lead author of the study said.

该研究报告的首席作者，哈里斯蒂娜•尼科洛娃教授表示：“当男性和同性一起时，他们会感觉到需要证明自己的男子气概。”

'Both tend to push away from the compromise option because the compromise option is consistent with feminine norms.

“他们双方都会避免折衷的选择，因为折衷的选择显得女性化。”

'On the other hand, extremism is a more masculine trait so that's why both male partners tend to prefer an extreme option when making decisions together.'

“而另一方面，走极端的做法有着更加男性化的特征，所以两个男性一起做决定时，他们倾向于更极端的选择。”

When a woman made a decision on buying with another man or woman, the outcome was more likely to involve a compromise. But two men together would end up at one extreme or the other.
