10、了 7.3%。雖然沒有一個80后群體具體的離婚數(shù)據(jù)，但是中國家庭教育研究 協(xié)會說，30%的80后婚姻都以失敗而告終。80后草率的決定只是中國離婚率持續(xù)升高背后的因素之一，最根本的原因 在于社會對離婚行為觀念的進步，這也導(dǎo)致了中國的年輕人道德價值觀的轉(zhuǎn)變。 他們對待各種事情的態(tài)度也變得越來開放。他們越來越看重個人利益，從而也影 響了他們結(jié)婚和離婚的決定。馬醫(yī)生是北京國家奧林匹克心理醫(yī)院的一名醫(yī)生，他說：“人們愈發(fā)關(guān)注他 們自身的感受，并且把這些期望帶到婚姻中去?！?0后被稱為中國的“我一代”。他們比父輩受到的教育更好，經(jīng)濟更為獨立, 形成了較強的自我意識，這一切使得他們的婚姻更容易破裂。盡管離婚

29、跟 自己好好溝通一下呢。如何解決矛盾沖突男性的大腦和女性的大腦構(gòu)造不同，在男性的大腦中，連接左右腦的神經(jīng)元 數(shù)量只有女性的四分之一。由于這樣的差異，男性往往用左腦一次只解決一個問 題。女性則左右腦并用，一次能處理多個問題。這就意味著，男女雙方有能力把 問題處理得同樣好，但是他們處理問題的方式卻不一樣。沒有能力或者不愿解決 沖突只會造成更多的沖突。exercisesreading comprehensioni. read the text again and mark the following statement with t(true) of f(false). if the stateme
