研究称宠物狗酷似主人
People can guess quite successfully what breed of dog a person own just by looking at the owner (see photo), a new study in the UK finds. A group of 70 people were asked to match photos of 41 dog owners to 3 possible breeds - Labrador, poodle or Staffordshire bull terrier. 50-60% of the people matched correctly, 33% higher than expected.
英国一项研究发现,人们能从宠物狗的外形判断其主人的外在特点,两者"外表"竟有相似之处(见图)。研究人员挑选出41只宠物狗,把它们分为拉布拉多猎犬、狮子狗和斯塔福德狗3组,然后让70名志愿者观看宠物狗和主人的照片,并给宠物狗和主人做配对判断。结果,50-60%的志愿者都能答对,比预计的高出33%。
