Passage Two LONDON Friday March 15 (Reuters Health)-Des

7、pite the public perception that cyberspace is a shallow and sometimes hostile environment, lovers who meet through Internet chat rooms may actually end up forming strong relationships, a researcher reported Friday at the British Psychological Society meeting in Blackpool. Once potential partners mee

8、t face-to-face, the relationship may thrive because they feel they already know each other well through their online encounters, said Dr Jeffrey Gavin, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Bath. Contrary to expectations, most chat mom users dont totally mislead online partners about their l

9、ooks and shape. Instead, they just tell a few white lies about their height, or the color of their hair, he said. “Chat rooms dont lead to shallow and impersonal relationships,“ Gavin told Reuters Health. “They lead to really close relationships because people express themselves more freely and are

10、more open and honest on the Internet. Gavin came to this conclusion after carrying out in-depth interviews with 42 regular chat mom users ranging in age from 19 to26. “What tends to happen is that, when they meet, its a fairly smooth transition from online to off-line because they know each other so

11、 well,“ said Gavin. The latest study suggests cyberspace may have some considerable benefits in helping new relationships form. The interviews showed people routinely lied about themselves online, but in most cases riley were minor misrepresentations rather than outright fabrication. Interestingly,

12、this little bit of dishonesty seemed to encourage chat room users to then be more emotionally explicit and intimate. “They still seem to comply to the social norms around the body,“ Gavin explained. “So the guys tend to make themselves sound blond and blue-eyed, while the women add a bit of blond to

13、 their hair. Its me 12 of them told outfight lies but the rest just exaggerated slightly.“ Gavin said of the 42 volunteers he studied, 29 reported close friendships or romantic relationships with people they met online, with 21 progressing to face-to-face meetings. “This was more than I expected and

14、 these tended to settle into regular relationships. One couple even became engaged to be married,“ he noted.

Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and families to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today, and【 C10】_ mo

48、re flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes. It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded-a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active li
