美研究:中國獨生子女是"垮掉的一代"?

A research published in the US journal Science said that the first only children generation in China have relatively low mutual trusts, more pessimistic emotions, are more likely to avoid risk, and prefer stable jobs。

刊登在美國《科學》雜誌上的一項研究稱，澳大利亞4所大學對421名北京成人做了一些測試，受試者出生於1975年—1983年間，結果發現，獨生子女一代的“互信程度較低、情緒上更悲觀、更傾向於規避風險、更喜歡穩定的工作”。

Children are the core of the one child families, which makes some of them impolite, irresponsible, and selfish。

不可否認，獨生子女作爲家庭的核心，一切家庭活動圍着孩子轉的特殊地位，使一些孩子變得沒有禮貌、缺乏責任心、自我意識強烈。

However, there's bias in the report. The research with small sample size negates a generation of the only children is an overgeneralization. Scholars from Oxford University said that people's spirit of bearing hardship will decline when society gets rich, which is not specific to the only children in China, and we can't criticize them as selfish for this reason. Moreover, the only children will correct their shortcomings constantly and improve themselves。

但是，報告也有偏頗之處，小樣本量的研究並不能以偏概全，從而否定一代獨生子女。英國牛津大學學者就認爲，在社會變富裕時，人的吃苦精神會下降，這並不是中國獨生子女特有的，我們不能因此就批評中國的獨生子女自私自利。而且，獨生子女會在成長中不斷修正自己的缺點，更好地認識和完善自己。

A research jointly conducted by Peking University and the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences also shows that the only children are more open in their personalities, more satisfactory in their lives, more outgoing, and more stable in their emotions. They enjoy being free and alone, but their communication abilities are not poor; they have small circles of friends, but their friendships are more solid and longstanding. Moreover, on many occasions, the first only children generation in China has become the main force of social development。

北京大學[微博]與中科院心理所發表在美國《人格與個體差異》雜誌上的一項研究也表明，獨生子女在人格開放性、生活滿意度、外向性和情緒穩定性方面更好。他們雖然更享受獨來獨往，但不代表溝通能力差；他們的朋友圈小，但關係更牢固持久，而且，在很多場合和工作中，中國第一代獨生子女已成爲社會發展的主力軍。不過，仍然需要提醒的是，已漸爲人父人母的第一代獨生子女們，應該好好利用自身資源、避免不利因素，教育好“獨二代”。

What need to remind is that the first only children generation who have become parents should make good use of their resources, try to avoid adverse factors and well educate the second only children generation. Society and schools should provide children chances to adapt and develop interpersonal communications and EQ education, so as to remedy the shortcomings of family education。

讓孩子進入角色。家庭成員的愛和責任是循環的，而非單向的。家長要告訴孩子每個時期他的責任與義務，讓他明白自己的角色，教他體貼與理解的意義，懂得分享的快樂。社會和學校也要給孩子學習適應、培養人際交往和情商教育的機會，以補足家庭教育的短板。
