研究：崇尚物质的价值观有碍婚姻

Materialistic couples may have more money, but they also have more relationship problems, according to a new study.

一项新近的研究显示虽然崇尚物质的夫妇可能会拥有更多的金钱，但他们之间的关系可能会存在更多的问题。

Researchers have found that focusing on money and possessions can take a toll on couples' happiness and stability.

研究人员发现，专注于金钱和财产可能会影响夫妻的幸福感和婚姻的稳定性。

In conducting the study, investigators from Brigham Young University analyzed relationship evaluations completed by more than 1,700 married couples across the United States. The participants were asked how much value they placed on "having money and lots of things."

在研究中，杨伯翰大学的研究者对来自全美1700对夫妻完成的关系评估进行分析。其中的调查对象会被问及对于“拥有金钱以及许多物质”在他们心中占有多重的分量。

The study, published in the Oct. 13 issue of the Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy, found that couples who believe that money is not important scored up to 15 percent higher on marriage stability and other measures of relationship quality than materialistic couples.

发布在10月13号的《夫妇及关系治疗杂志》的研究表明较于那些崇尚物质的夫妇而言，那些不那么专注于金钱的夫妇在对婚姻稳定性及其品质的其他方面的评分要高出约15%。

"Couples where both spouses are materialistic were worse off on nearly every measure we looked at," lead author, Jason Carroll, a BYU professor of family life, said in a university news release. "There is a pervasive pattern in the data of eroding communication, poor conflict resolution and low responsiveness to each other."

来自杨伯翰大学家庭生活专业的教授Jason Carrol作为第一作者在一个大学新闻发布会上表示，“如果夫妻双方都是崇尚物质的，那么在我们所关注的各方面的他们所得的评分更低”，“这在沟通受限，冲突解决不良以及不能很好的给予对方回应等方面的评分数据是一个较普遍的现象”

One in five couples that participated in the study acknowledged that money was very important to them. Among these couples, who the researchers pointed out tended to be financially better off, money was often a source of conflict in the relationship.

在参与研究的夫妻中，有五分之一承认金钱对于他们很重要。研究者曾指出有些夫妻可能在经济上比较富裕，但在这些夫妻中金钱时常成为夫妻关系冲突的来源。

"How these couples perceive their finances seems to be more important to their marital health than their actual financial situation," noted Carroll.

Carroll指出，“这些夫妻对其经济的认知对其婚姻关系健康程度的影响大于对其实际经济状况的影响”。

The study results also showed that when both members of a couple are materialistic, the relationship is in more trouble than when just one person places a high value on money and possessions

研究结果同样显示如果夫妻双方都崇尚物质或只有一方专注于金钱和财产，那么前者的婚姻关系会存在更多的问题.
