　　这两项研究针对500名来自印度和美国的男性进行，他们年龄在18岁到72岁之间，这些男性面部胡须从轻度胡茬到浓密的胡须共9种胡须类型。

　　Benevolent³ sexism refers to those with outwardly positive, but still damaging beliefs about women. This might show itself in the form of of presuming that women are by their very nature 'kinder' or better at cooking.

　　善意的性别歧视指那些外在很积极，实际上内心依然对女性不尊重的男性。这样的信条让他们表现为蛮横，而认为女性就天生该充满慈爱和擅长做饭。

　　The study, conducted by Qualtrics, an online survey software provider for businesses and academics, concluded: 'Our research suggests that there is a link between beards and gender role beliefs, but it's not apparent what causes this association.

　　这项调查由Qualtrics展开，它是为商业和学术界提供的在线调查软件，总结到：“我们调查显示蓄胡须和性别角色信念有关联，但并不知晓什么导致了两者的关联。”

　　It's possible that men with more negative attitudes towards women are more likely to choose to wear facial hair because it accentuates⁴ their apparent masculinity and dominance.'

　　A separate piece of research revealed that men who have facial hair are more likely to cheat on their partner, steal or get into fights.
