你是天生的大英雄吗?

It is hard to know for sure who will step up and who will freeze up in a crisis. But, amid growing interest in positive psychology, the study of human strengths and virtues, research in recent years has shed light on the qualities and attitudes that distinguish heroes from the rest of us.

很难确定谁会在危机中挺身而出、谁又会束手旁观。不过在积极心理学（即对人类的优点和美德的研究）吸引了越来越多的研究兴趣的背景下，近些年的研究阐明了一些将英雄与其他人区分开来的品质和态度。

Certain traits make it more likely that a person will make a split-second decision to take a heroic risk. People who like to take charge of situations, who respond sympathetically to others, and who have a strong sense of moral and social responsibility are more likely to intervene than people who lack those traits, research shows. Heroes tend by nature to be hopeful, believing events will turn out well. They consciously try to keep fear from hampering their pursuit of goals, and they tend to block out the possibility of injury or material loss.

某些特质会让人更有可能在一瞬间决定冒险做一次英雄之举。相关研究表明，乐于掌控局面、对他人抱有同情心以及具有强烈的道德感和社会责任感的人比不具备这些特质的人更有可能挺身而出。英勇之人往往天生就满怀希望，相信事情会向好的方向发展。他们会有意识地努力避免恐惧心理妨碍他们追求自己的目标，往往会去阻止可能造成身体伤害或物质损失的事情发生。
