心理學(xué)家如何看待“網(wǎng)絡(luò)噴子”

　　What is it with people’s behavior online? Why the readiness to attack, the snarky tone, the lack of courtesy inherent to so many comments?

　　人們?cè)诰W(wǎng)上是怎么回事,？為什么時(shí)刻準(zhǔn)備好攻擊別人,？為什么這么多的評(píng)論都尖酸刻薄、沒(méi)有教養(yǎng),？

　　The internet can bring out the worst in people, which when taken to extremes turns into trolling—that bizarre impulsive habit of hurting others online, without consequence.

　　互聯(lián)網(wǎng)能讓人展現(xiàn)出自己最惡劣的一面,，其中的極端情況就是網(wǎng)絡(luò)暴力——這是一種不明就里的沖動(dòng)，讓人想在網(wǎng)上不顧后果地傷害別人,。

　　Using an online questionnaire, the researchers at the School of Health Science and Psychology at Federation University tested 415 men and women for a range of personality traits, as well as for online behavior that indicated a propensity to troll.

　　聯(lián)邦大學(xué)健康科學(xué)及心理學(xué)學(xué)院的研究人員,，通過(guò)一份網(wǎng)絡(luò)調(diào)查問(wèn)卷，對(duì)415名男男女女進(jìn)行了關(guān)于一系列人格特質(zhì)的測(cè)試,，同時(shí)也測(cè)試了一些能表明出網(wǎng)絡(luò)暴力傾向的行為,。

　　The researchers were looking for particular traits including social skills, psychopathy, sadism, and two types of empathy: affective and cognitive.

　　研究人員尋找的特質(zhì)包括社交技巧、心理變態(tài),、虐待欲,，以及兩種同理心——情感性同理心和認(rèn)知性同理心。

　　Having high cognitive empathy simply means they can understand others’ emotions.

　　認(rèn)知性同理心很高,，意味著這些人能理解別人的感情,。

　　Having high affective empathy means a person can experience, internalize, and respond to those emotions.

　　情感性同理心很高，則意味著一個(gè)人能夠體會(huì),、內(nèi)化這些感情,，并對(duì)它們做出反應(yīng)。

　　The “trolls” in the study scored higher than average on two traits: psychopathy and cognitive empathy.

　　實(shí)驗(yàn)中的“噴子們”在兩項(xiàng)特質(zhì)上比一般人的得分高：心理變態(tài)和認(rèn)知性同理心,。

　　So even though “trolls” exhibit one kind of empathy, coupling it with psychopathy ultimately makes them nasty, the researchers suggested.

　　所以,，研究者指出，雖然“噴子們”表現(xiàn)出其中一種同理心,，但它和心理變態(tài)結(jié)合起來(lái)卻最終讓這些人變得很惡劣,。

　　Psychopathy includes a lack of care for others’ feelings.

　　心理變態(tài)這一點(diǎn)包括“不在乎別人的感受�,！�

　　High levels of cognitive empathy make these people adept at recognizing what will upset someone, and knowing when they’ve pushed the right buttons.

　　高水平的認(rèn)知性同理心,，讓這些人很擅長(zhǎng)找出哪些行為能惹惱一個(gè)人，也讓他們能知道自己何時(shí)達(dá)到了目的,。

　　The lack of affective empathy allows trolls not to experience or internalize the emotional experience of their victims.

　　而低水平的情感性同理心,，讓噴子們不用體會(huì)和內(nèi)化受害者的感受,。
