[雙語]快樂少年期=快樂中年期

 

Teens perceived by their teachers to having a "positive" childhood were more likely to have higher well-being in middle-age, British researchers say.

英國專家稱，一個人如果在童年時期“積極活躍”，那么他也更有可能擁有幸福的“中年時代”。

Felicia Huppert of the University of Cambridge and colleagues analyzed data from 2,776 individuals who participated in the 1946 British birth study.

英國劍橋大學教授費利西婭和同事一道分析研究了2776名受試者的資料，他們都參與了1946年英國的出生調(diào)查。

Teachers rated teens ages 13 to 15 and gave each one point if the student made friends extremely easily and extremely energetic. The teachers also rated conduct problems - restlessness, daydreaming, disobedience, lying, etc. - and emotional problems - anxiety, fearfulness, diffidence, avoidance of attention, etc.

當時教師們就13至15歲這一年齡段的受試者的表現(xiàn)進行打分。那些交友容易且精力充沛的孩子均會獲得1分。同時，教師們也就行為問題（多動、走神、叛逆、撒謊等）以及情緒問題（焦慮、恐懼、怯懦、無法集中精神等）打出了不同分數(shù)。

Decades later, the researchers found children with positive adolescence were much less likely than others to develop mental disorders throughout their lives.

幾十年后，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，青春期積極向上的孩子們在以后生活中產(chǎn)生心理問題的可能性更小。

The study, published in The Journal of Positive Psychology, found teens rated positively by their teachers were significantly more likely than those who received no positive ratings to have higher work satisfaction, more frequent contact with family and friends, and more regular engagement in social and leisure activities.

該項研究目前被刊載于《積極心理學期刊》上。研究指出，與那些被教師評為“不積極”的學生相比而言，那些被評價為積極向上的學生更容易在工作中獲得滿足感、與家人和朋友溝通更多，而在社交與休閑活動中參與度也更高。
