Married Men Make Better Ethics

IF you feel the change in attitude after marriage, there may be a reason. For according to a recent study, the behavior of married men tend to be less aggressive and more ethical than unmarried men.

Results of research from Michigan State University showed, reason for the statement in part because of the influence of the marriage bond itself and partly because men tend to be antisocial no longer spend time with her friends.

The researchers found that men who are very antisocial, defined as male aggression, lack of remorse, no responsibility, and deny the rights of others-tend to be less willingness to be bound in marriage than men are less antisocial.

"Antisocial personality disorder is often misunderstood as an asocial, but this is a pattern of behavior that ignores and violates the rights and safety of others," said study author S Alexandra Burt, professor of psychology at Michigan State University.

Well, marriage is suspected to reduce anti-social tendencies, said the researchers.

"If you're tied to someone else (like spouse), you will likely notice their rights," Burt said, as quoted by Thirdage, Friday (02/18/2011).

On the other hand, the criticism delivered psychiatrist Dr. Christos Ballas of the University of Pennsylvania by saying that these aspects are studied in this investigation as "ridiculous".

"Of course, married men reduced antisosialnya behavior, even he does not have the opportunity to be involved in it. Can she go out every weekend for clubbing? Not because he's become a better person, but because the institution of marriage required him to be more frequently at home, "said Ballas.

In the study, the research team also observed pairs of identical twins, one was married, while others are still single. They found that married twins usually show less antisocial behavior than her twin who is not married.

Burt theorized that the bond of marriage, we become less antisocial because they have to spend more time with your partner and ignoring other antisocial friends who are still struggling with the problem.

"Our time is reduced with an antisocial peers. Instead of hanging out with friends all the time, we chose the wife," he added.

The positive impact became husband also seemed more powerful in a good marriage than the bad, the researchers said.

"The stronger and the better the marriage, the lower the level of antisocial behavior of a man," said Burt.

In the end, the study authors concluded that the relationship between marriage and good behavior is quite complicated.

"Our results indicate that the rate of decrease in antisocial behavior in men married more complicated than we thought before," said Burt.

"Marriage is generally good for men, at least in terms of reducing antisocial behavior, but the data also indicate that the entry in the marriage institution is something that must be planned carefully," he said.
