男性往往希望别人相信自己是像钢铁一般坚强的，但是你要当心，别被他们强悍的外表所蒙蔽了。

　　Enlightening new research has found that men are in fact more emotional than women.

　　一则令人震惊的新研究成果表明，男性其实比女性更感情丰富。

　　The experiment found that when men and women watched the same heart-warming videos, it was the men who experienced stronger physiological reactions.

　　这项实验结果证实，当男性和女性同时观赏一部感动人心的视频时，男性会体验到更为强烈的心理反应。

　　But true to type, when asked about their emotions, the women admitted feeling more emotional than the men did.

　　但是，如人们惯常所知的是，当被问及他们的感受时，女性更愿意表示自己受到了情感上的触动。

　　In the experiment, a group of 30 participants (15 fathers and 15 mothers) were presented with a series of images and videos, while their physiological responses were measured via skin conductance electrodes attached to their fingers.

　　这项实验中共有30名参与者（15位父亲和15位母亲），他们一同观看了一系列的图片和视频，研究者们通过连接在参与者手指上的皮肤电导电极，可以观测他们的心理反应。

　　The content they were presented with was categorised into four topics: blissful, funny, exciting and heart-warming.

　　他们所观赏的图片和视频可以分为四个主题：祥和类的，幽默类的，刺激类的和感人类的。

　　Men demonstrated a marginally higher emotional reaction to the blissful, funny and exciting content, compared to the women.

　　与女性相比，男性对祥和类的，幽默类的，刺激类这三类材料表现出略高的情感反应。

　　However, the experiment found that men responded twice as strongly as women with higher levels of physiological emotion when presented with heart-warming content.

　　但同时，研究发现，当参与者观看感人类的研究材料时，男性的心理反应程度是女性的两倍之多。

　　The men’s emotional reactions significantly spiked when they watched a video of a solider coming home from war and reuniting with his daughter.

　　尤其在观看一部表现士兵在战后回到家里，与女儿重聚的视频时，男性的情感反应程度表现出激增的趋势。

　　As part of the experiment, participants also had to rate the content on a questionnaire to say how it made them feel.

　　作为该实验的一部分，参与者们还必须填写一张调查问卷，为自己观看了研究材料之后感受到的心理反应程度评出几个等级。

　　As expected, women said they felt more emotional in response to the content compared to the men.

　　如研究者意料到的一样，和男性相比，女性更愿意坦诚的承认，她们观看了研究材料后体验到强烈的情感反应。

　　However, even though men reported feeling less emotion than women, their physiological changes showed that in fact they felt emotion more strongly.

　　然而，虽然男性表示自己并没有像女性那样产生强烈的情绪反应，事实上，他们的心理活动变化已经反应了这一事实，即他们比女性体验到的感情更加强烈。
