男人和女人是如何承受心理、生理压力的?他们怎样对付人们向自己提出的各项要求?在这些问题上,是否存在着性别差异?这种差别是先天造成的(遗传作用),还是后天获得的(社会作用)?瑞典的一个心理学小组通过研究回答了这些问题。当然,我们的社会制度不同于西方,许多事情不能同等看待。例如,在瑞典,女工程师是罕见的,而在我们苏联却是司空见惯的。世界上许多地方的女人都比男人寿命长。在西方,女人的平均寿命比男人长6年多。女人又很少患心肌梗塞之类的疾病。女人的寿命之所以长,可以理解为她们应付心理压力的本领比男人强,她们能较好地分配自己的生命资源。瑞典心理学家将他们的研究成果编成了《应激是生命的一部分》一书。下面我们摘录该书的部分章节,以飨读者。
How do men and women endure mental and physical stress? How do they deal with the demands that people make to themselves? Are there any gender differences on these issues? Are the differences innate (genetic) or acquired (Social role)? A Swedish psychology group answered these questions through research. Of course, our social system is different from the West and many things can not be treated equally. For example, in Sweden, female engineers are rare and commonplace in our Soviet Union. Women in many parts of the world live longer than men. In the West, women live an average of more than 6 years longer than men. Women rarely suffer from diseases like myocardial infarction. The reason why women’s life expectancy is long can be understood as their ability to cope with psychological stress than men, they can better allocate their own resources of life. Swedish psychologists have compiled their research into “Stress is a part of life.” Below we extract some of the chapters to readers.
