Men who earn less than their female partners are more likely to cheat on them, a study published on Monday found.
本周一公布的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn),收入低于女伴的男性在感情上出軌的可能性更大。
Cheating may be a man's way of trying to restore his gender identity when he feels it is under threat, Christin Munsch, a sociology doctoral candidate at Cornell University, says in the study, which she authored and presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association.
康奈爾大學(xué)社會學(xué)博士生克里斯汀•穆切在她撰寫的研究報(bào)告中稱,男人在感覺自己的“男權(quán)”地位受到威脅后,出軌可能是他挽回尊嚴(yán)的一種方式。克里斯汀博士在美國社會學(xué)協(xié)會的年會上提交了該研究報(bào)告。
"Making less money than a female partner may threaten men's gender identity by calling into question the traditional notion of men as breadwinners," Munsch said.
