[Article] Love at First Sight might be real, Scientists Say
The phrase Love at first sight may be a real thing after all. Researchers in Israel studied the physical responses of couples during their first date and found that those who were a perfect match were physiologically in sync with each other within 2 minutes. They found that responses such as sweating and similiar physical movements such as smiling and nodding began to match quickly between people who were connecting with each other. However, the scientists could not account for the reason for the initial attraction. The degree of attraction differed, though, with women being more attracted to those they synced with than the men.
첫눈에 반한다는 구절은 결국 사실일지도 모른다. 이스라엘 연구진에 따르면, 첫번째 데이트에서 나타난 신체적 반응에서 완벽한 매칭을 보여주는 커플은 2분 이내 서로에게 생리학적으로 잘 어울렸다. 미소와 고개 끄덕임 같은 신체적 움직임이나 땀흘리는 것과 반응은 유대감을 가진 사람들 사이에서 빠르게 일치하기 시작한다는 것을 발견했다. 그러나 연구자들은 처음 이끌림에 대한 이유를 설명할 수 없었다. 매력의 정도는 달랐고, 다만 여자들은 남자들보다 자신들과 잘 맞는 사람들에게 더 끌렸다.
