分手了還是朋友? 這樣的人可能是變態!
We finally have the answer to "what kind of psycho stays friends with their ex?" and I'm feeling very vindicated over here.
對於“有什麼樣心理的人會和他們的前任保持朋友關係？”這個問題，我們終於有了一個答案，並且我覺得這個答案非常正確。In a study out of Oakland University, researchers set out to figure out if there's any correlation between "dark personality traits" - e.g., narcissism, duplicity, psychopathy - and involvement with exes.
在奧克蘭大學的一項研究中，研究人員着手研究“黑暗人格特質”--如自戀、表裏不一、精神變態，與前任交往是否存在相關性。Researchers asked 860 people to list the reasons why they were for their involvement with their exes.
研究人員讓860個人列出了他們為什麼要與前任聯繫的原因。
Subjects were asked series of questions to rate the reasons they maintained relationships with exes. They were then surveyed to determine if they had dark personality traits.
接受測試的人被問了一系列問題，並以此來對評估他們與前任保持關係的原因。之後，他們再接受調查，來檢測是否具有黑暗人格特質。In a not that surprising turn of events, the subjects found to have dark personality traits were more likely to stay close to their exes for "practical and sexual reasons."
結果並不出乎意料，被發現有黑暗人格特徵的受試者，更傾向於因為實際和性方面的理由與他們的前任保持親密關係。Broadly spoke to narcissism expert Dr. Tony Ferretti who agreed with the study's findings, saying that people with dark personality types are most interested in how relationships can personally benefit them, and will stay connected to exes who have "valuable resources."
認可這項研究的自戀心理研究專家託尼·費雷蒂博士表示，有黑暗人格的人最感興趣的是人際關係如何能讓他們自身受益，並且更傾向於與那些有“寶貴資源”的前任保持聯繫。"They also have inside information about their ex's vulnerabilities and weaknesses that they can exploit and manipulate which gives them a sense of power and control," he said.
他表示：“這些人內心對他們前任的弱點也有所瞭解，這樣他們就可以根據這些弱點對前任加以利用和控制，他們也因此會得到有一種權力和控制感。”
