我们提出了一个关于进入和放弃浪漫依恋的性别差异的两部分概括:(1)男性比女性更容易坠入爱河;(2)女性比男性更容易失恋。支持这些概括的证据来自对231对大学生约会夫妇的纵向研究。数据表明,女性在进入浪漫关系时比男性更加谨慎,更有可能将这些关系与替代品进行比较,更有可能结束似乎命运多舛的关系,并且能够更好地科普拒绝。我们从精神分析理论、择偶的社会和经济背景以及男女在管理自己情绪方面的社会化等角度考虑了对这些性别差异的几种可能的解释。为了评估这些(以及任何其他)解释,进一步的研究可能会有益地调查这些性别差异是否以及在多大程度上存在于人口的其他部分。
We propose a two-part generalization about sex differences in entering into and giving up romantic attachments: (1) Men tend to fall in love more readily than women; (2) women tend to fall out of love more readily than men. Evidence in support of these generalizations is derived from a longitudinal study of 231 college student dating couples. The data suggest that women are more cautious than men about entering into romantic relationships, more likely to compare these relationships to alternatives, more likely to end a relationship that seems ill fated, and better able to cope with rejection. We consider several possible explanations of these sex differences from the standpoints of psychoanalytic theory, the social and economic context of mate selection, and the socialization of men and women in the management of their own emotions. To evaluate these (and any other) explanations, further research might profitably investigate whether and to what degree these sex differences are found in other segments of the population.
