Now it is official. Men really are more narcissistic than women, according to a massive American study which analysed three decades of data from more than 475,000 people.
男性比女性更自戀，這一說法現(xiàn)在有官方支持了。美國(guó)一項(xiàng)研究通過分析三十年來(lái)超過47.5萬(wàn)人的數(shù)據(jù)得出此結(jié)論。

Researchers concluded that men had a greater senses of entitlement, making them more likely to exploit others.
研究人員得出的結(jié)論是，男性強(qiáng)烈的特權(quán)意識(shí)使他們趨向利用他人，為己謀利。

The findings were consistent across multiple age groups and generations, said the study's authors at the University at Buffalo School of Management.
來(lái)自布法羅大學(xué)管理學(xué)院的研究人員表示，該項(xiàng)研究在各年齡群以及不同年代人群中的結(jié)果都是一致的。

However, men can take comfort in one conclusion from the study - narcissism may also have some positive effects.
然而，該項(xiàng)研究中的一個(gè)結(jié)論可讓男性有所釋然——自戀可能也會(huì)產(chǎn)生積極的影響。

"Narcissism is associated with various interpersonal dysfunctions, including an inability to maintain healthy long-term relationships, unethical behaviour and aggression," said Emily Grijalva, assistant professor of organisation and human resources, and the paper's lead author.
該項(xiàng)研究論文的主要作者、組織與人力資源助理教授艾米麗?格里哈爾瓦表示：“自戀與各種人際關(guān)系失調(diào)有關(guān)，包括無(wú)法維持良性發(fā)展的長(zhǎng)期關(guān)系，行為不檢點(diǎn)和強(qiáng)勢(shì)好斗。”

"At the same time, narcissism is shown to boost self-esteem, emotional stability and the tendency to emerge as a leader."
“同時(shí)，自戀促進(jìn)自尊自信，情緒穩(wěn)定和領(lǐng)袖潛能。”

They sifted through more than 355 journal articles, dissertations, manuscripts and technical manuals, and studied gender differences in what they described as the three aspects of narcissism: leadership/authority, grandiosity/exhibitionism and entitlement.
研究員對(duì)超過355份期刊文章、專題論文、文章手稿和技術(shù)手冊(cè)進(jìn)行篩選整理，并從領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力/權(quán)威性、好大喜功/愛出風(fēng)頭，以及自我權(quán)益意識(shí)等表現(xiàn)自戀的三個(gè)方面著手研究性別差異。

It meant examining reactions to statements such as, "If I ruled the world, it would be a much better place," and "I know that I am good because everyone keeps telling me so."
這項(xiàng)研究測(cè)試人們聽到以下言論時(shí)的反應(yīng)，如“世界若由我統(tǒng)治，將會(huì)更加美好。”和“我知道我很優(yōu)秀，因?yàn)槊總€(gè)人都這么對(duì)我說。”

They found the widest gap in entitlement, suggesting that men were more likely than women to exploit others and feel entitled to certain privileges.
研究任員發(fā)現(xiàn)男女在優(yōu)越感方面差距最大，這表明男性比女性更有可能利用他人，而且覺得自己理應(yīng)享受某些特權(quán)。

The difference narrowed when it came to vanity, which may explain why some women feel the need to clog Twitter and Facebook with countless pouting selfies.
在虛榮這方面，性別差異在縮小。這就不難理解有些女性喜歡在Facebook和Twitter上發(fā)布那些噘嘴賣萌的自拍照。

The results will be published in the forthcoming Psychological Bulletin journal.
這些研究成果將會(huì)在下一期《心理學(xué)公報(bào)》雜志上發(fā)表。
