在正常的一天中,睾丸激素的水平通常会下降。但在2010年的大选夜,奥巴马男性选民的睾丸激素水平始终保持在大致相同的水平。研究发现,在那些支持麦凯恩的选民中,其睾丸激素水平的下降幅度大于正常情况,从晚上8点至凌晨1点大致下降了30%(但正如研究人员所预期的那样,大选结果没有影响女性的睾丸激素水平)。
It was as if the men weren't just watching the outcome but closely identifying with one of the candidates, said Kevin LaBar, a Duke University neuroscientist who helped conduct the study. Similar hormonal changes have been observed in devoted male sports fans watching their favorite team play, he said.
帮助开展这项研究的杜克大学(Duke University)神经学家拉巴尔(Kevin LaBar)说,这就好像这些男性选民不只是在关注投票结果,而且是在和其中一位候选人结成了相当密切的关系一样。拉巴说,已经观察到类似荷尔蒙变化出现在那些忠诚的男性体育迷观看他们喜欢的球队比赛的时候。
'There's kind of a correlation between sports competitions and political contests in terms of their effects on the fans,' Dr. LaBar said.
拉巴说,就这两种活动对粉丝的影响而言,体育比赛和总统大选之间存在某种相关性。
Such events are present-day versions of contests for social dominance, age-old fights between alpha males for power, mates and food, Dr. LaBar said.
