Apparently, when fathers display fear and anxiety, kids are most likely to pick up those cues and see dental visits as something to fear.
很显然,当父亲表现出恐惧和焦虑时,孩子很可能接收这些心理暗示,认为看牙医是一件令人恐惧的事情 。
Why fathers carry so much weight in influencing how their kids think about the dentist is not clear.
父亲的反应为何很大程度伤影响子女对牙医的看法,原因尚不明确 。
At least the study doesn't really offer an explanation.
至少这项研究没有给出合理解释 。
But it does suggest that fathers can play an important role in what psychologists called positive emotional contagion.
不过研究表明,父亲在心理学家所说的“积极情绪传染”中扮演着重要的角色 。
If fathers' fear of the dentist can contaminate their kids, the opposite might also be true.
如果父亲对牙医的恐惧情绪会传染给孩子,那么反之亦然 。
In other words, dads behaving positively and not displaying fear could orient their kids towards not fearing the dentist.
也就是说,父亲积极的、不带恐惧的言行能够引导孩子不再恐惧牙医 。
So the researchers call for parents, and fathers in particular, to be involved in dentist fear prevention campaigns.
因此,研究人员呼吁父母,尤其是父亲行动起来,帮助孩子预防牙医恐惧症 。
