研究：费心保密降低幸福感

分类后，研究人员邀请2000名受访者将他们的秘密对号入座。

In the end, they found that the average person was carrying 13 of the 38 secrets at any one time. They also discovered that five of those 13 secrets have never been shared with another person.

最后，研究人员发现，普通人在任何时候都有38类秘密中的13种。他们还发现，这13种秘密中有5种从未与人分享过。

The most commonly held secrets involved what researchers termed 'extra-relational thoughts', as well as sexual behavior, lying, and romantic desire. The researchers defined a secret as something they intended to keep from others.

最常见的秘密就是研究人员所说的 "非常关系"，还有性行为、说谎和浪漫欲望。研究人员把秘密定义为人们不想让别人知道的事情。

The common secrets that people were less likely to keep to themselves were abortion, marriage proposals and sexual orientation.

人们不太可能保守的秘密是堕胎、求婚和性取向。

In addition to the number and types of secrets people keep, the researchers also looked into the way keeping them affects behavior and health.

除了秘密的数量和类型外，研究团队还研究了保密对个人行为和健康的影响。
