过去遇到这种情况,心理治疗师们就会开始指责长辈的不是,不过现在大家更明白了,其实这种行为与遗传、身体状况、父亲和兄弟的角色,甚至环境等等因素都脱离不了关系,是所有因素共同作用的结果。
So often in the past psychiatry tended to "blame the mother," but we now understand that so many factors - genetic, biologic, the role of father and siblings, and environmental - all play their part.
调查发现,大多数美国人,其中包括那些认为自己超重的人,都认为个人行为习惯而非遗传或其他因素是造成超重的最主要原因。
