And here is what they did. They brought students in or participants in.
這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)是這樣的。他們找來(lái)一些學(xué)生或參與實(shí)驗(yàn)的人
And they asked them whether they wanted to get rid of certain characteristics, like rigidity, or being gullible, or grimness.
然后問(wèn)這些人，他們想不想要擺脫自己性格的某個(gè)方面，比如說(shuō)古板，或者容易輕信別人，或是冷酷
And they asked them whether they wanted to get rid of these characteristics and whether they succeeded in becoming better in this area.
他們問(wèn)這些人想不想要擺脫這些性格，想不想在這方面變的更好
Were you able to introduce change, so were you able to actually become less rigid,
是不是真的能改變自己，即是說(shuō)，如果改變對(duì)于你來(lái)說(shuō)真的很重要
if this was important for you to change, or less gullible, or less grim?
那你能不能最終變得不那么古板，不那么容易輕信別人，不那么冷酷
So this is the first two questions that they asked.
這就是他們最初問(wèn)的兩個(gè)問(wèn)題
Did you want to improve it? Did you wanna change this? The second question — were you successful?
想不想改善，想不想改變？第二個(gè)問(wèn)題，能不能改變
And then after they answered these questions, there was the second part of the study
然后，在他們問(wèn)了這些問(wèn)題之后，實(shí)驗(yàn)還有第二個(gè)階段，在這個(gè)階段
where they asked them to evaluate the positive, the, the following positive characteristics.
他們讓這些人去評(píng)估，評(píng)估下列正面性格，比如
Consistency, is it important to you?
言行一致對(duì)于你來(lái)說(shuō)是否重要
Is it important to you to be trustworthy?
值得信賴(lài)，是不是重要
And how important it is for you to be and to be perceived as a serious person?
以及，被認(rèn)為是一個(gè)嚴(yán)肅認(rèn)真的人對(duì)于你來(lái)說(shuō)有多重要
And here is the interesting finding of this research.
下面我們來(lái)說(shuō)這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)的有趣的結(jié)果
Those individuals who rated the positive traits, the ones in yellow, who rated them high,
所有給這些正面性格打高分的人，這些黃色的是正面性格
as personally important to them were less likely to change the negatives.
認(rèn)為這些性格很重要的人反而比較不容易去改變自己的負(fù)面性格
Do you understand implications of the study?
大家明白這其中的奧妙么
So what is saying is that... Let's say I do wanna get rid of rigidity. I don't like being rigid.
也就是說(shuō)，比如……我想要擺脫古板的個(gè)性。我不喜歡自己那么古板
