It has long been a mystery to men why so many women enjoy watching tear jerker movies with their friends.长久以来，男东谈主们对女东谈主心爱跟一又友一齐看苦情片感到不明。
But now scientists have come up with a suggestion – sharing sad emotions helps women bond.当今科学家有了讲明：共享追到的心情让女东谈主们惺惺惜惺惺。
A research team at Cardiff University found that by sharing their emotions women found the happy parts of films more joyful and the sad bits less sad.卡迪福大学的计议小组发现，通过共享心情，女士们以为电影中承诺的部分愈加令东谈主承诺，而追到的情节看起来没那么追到。
Job van der Schalk， a psychologist at Cardiff University， said: ‘Our findings suggest that a negative emotional experience such as watching a ‘weepy’ is more positive when it is shared with a friend.卡迪夫大学脸色学家范德沙克说: “咱们的计议达成发现，在和一又友们共享一些不振的心情体验（比如看一场哭戏）的时代女同 porn，取得的效力愈加积极。
‘And， at the same time， a positive emotional experience， such as watching a ‘romcom’， should equally be more pleasant when shared.’而况同期，共享积极的体验比如跟一又友一齐看一场放纵笑剧，感受到的快活也更多。
The study involved 30 pairs of female friends aged between 20 and 33 who were shown emotionally powerful images and asked to rate them on a scale from ‘very negative’ to ‘very positive’.此次计议的对象为30对年龄在20到33岁的女性一又友，计议东谈主员让她们不雅看产生热烈心情的影像，让她们把看到的影像按照从 “颠倒不振”到 “颠倒积极”的进度进行评价。
The scientists put one of each pair in a brain scanner to monitor their reactions， and the volunteers were also asked to view and rate the images while on their own and also while together.计议东谈主员给每一双志愿者中的其中一位带上大脑扫描监测器，他们让这些志愿者在单独不雅看图像和跟一又友一齐不雅看图像时辰别对图像进行不振或积极的评价。
The researchers found the images were seen more positively when the pairs were together， The Sunday Times reported.计议东谈主员发现参预实际的一双一又友在一齐的时代，他们看待图像的气派愈加积极。
The study， published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience， said: ‘When people go to the cinema to watch a film， they ... anticipate a positive subjective impact of sharing this emotional experience.’这一计议发表在《社会通晓与心情神经科学》的期刊上，剖析指出：东谈主们去电影院看电影的时代，他们期待的是一种积极的主不雅的心情共享体验。
And Hollywood success seems to back the theory. 而好莱坞的奏凯似乎考据了这一表面。
