A new study shows how women and men show exes differently
What people and women think of their ex. The new research explains the differences.
Staying friends with an ex tends to be a delicate subject. For some, the ability to leave the love you have shared with a platonic relationship is a sign of emotional maturity. To others, it's a red flag that suggests that the fire is not off, and aThreat for any current relationship. Now a new study published in the newspaperPsychological Social Sciences and Personality found that there could be a gender fracture when it comes to views of exes: men seem to see their former partners more favorably than women. But the reasons for this gender division can surprise you.
The study, directed byUrsula Athenstedt From the University of Graz, involved a survey of nearly 900 adults. Each participant was in a current heterosexual relationship for at least four months and had an ex-partner with which the relationship had also lasted at least four months. What AthensteTedt and his team found that men usually hold morepositive attitudes to their expes than women.
The researchers have asked some interesting theories about the source of this disparity. First, they said that "women are more likely to hold" pragmatic "love attitudes, including a stronger preference for long-term and more exclusive relationships, while men are more likely to "endorse a"play the game"Attitude towards love" and "Value more strongly sex as a physical act that gives pleasure. "
Just put, thatscalable theory would mean that women are more likely to see their investment in a relationship like a loss of time if it does not cause alife throughout lifeWHEREAS men are more inclined to consider the relationship as a sexually rewarding experience that met their needs and expectations.
Researchers also noted that women were more likely than men to blame their rupture on their executions and were more likely to report "problematic partnership behaviors" such thatinfidelity WhereEmotional and physical abuse as the reasons for the split. Men, on the other hand, "are more likely to claim that they do not know what caused their past breaks."
Finally, research has shown that women engaged in a "constructive inflator than men", looking for a support of friends who give them the closure and assures them that their ex was not agood partner. Men, on the other hand, "generally live a larger ambivalence", remains oftenEmotionally attached More, "and" are less likely to believe that their ex-partner was not just for them. "It follows that men would be" more likely to preserve positive assessments of their ex-partners ".
Of course, given how muchThe dynamics of the relationship passes In today's society, all this could change. Recent research has shown that many womenWrestling with monogamy Just as much as men do it. And now that women aremore independent financial And pressure to get married has decreased accordingly, they are less likely to look at men as a potential resource of life for life and, so less likely to feel bitter if a relationship does not end with a "luckily always always after.
