调查:半数男性会原谅女友的同性外遇

Published this month in the journal "Personality and Individual Differences," the study concluded the participant's reactions were based on basic jealousy instincts。

这项发表在本月的《个性和个体差异》杂志上的研究得出结论：受访者的反应是出于嫉妒本能的反应。

"A robust jealousy mechanism is activated in men and women by different types of cues -- those that threaten paternity in men and those that threaten abandonment in women," said Jaime Confer, the study's lead author and a PhD candidate in evolutionary psychology。

该研究的主要作者、进化心理学博士生杰米·康弗说：“激发男性和女性体内的强劲嫉妒机制的诱因不同，对于男性来说，诱因是那些可以威胁他们父亲身份的因素；而对于女性来说，诱因则是那些可以导致她们被抛弃的因素。”

Men, they said, felt more threatened by a rival male because of paternity uncertainty, whereas they saw a female partner's homosexual affair as "an opportunity to mate with more than one woman simultaneously, satisfying men's greater desire for more partners."
