Women have long known how that extra flick of eyeliner or dash of lipstick can boost their confidence.
女人们早就知道，化妆可以增强她们的自信。
And now, it seems, it’s also more likely to help them pass exams.
而现在，似乎化妆更有可能帮她们通过考试。
Research shows that women who put on make-up before taking a test achieved ten to 20 per cent higher marks than those who did not wear any.
研究表明，女性化妆之后参加考试，成绩要比那些素颜参加考试的人成绩高10%到20%。
Psychologists say the result could be down to the ‘lipstick effect’, whereby using make-up boosts self-esteem and has a knock-on effect on memory, confidence and mental ability.
心理学家表示，这一结果可能是“口红效应”的原因，该理论指出化妆可以提高自尊，从而对记忆力、自信、以及智力产生连锁反应。
The study in journal Cogent Psychology involved 200 female undergraduates, all studying the same subject with similar self-esteem, make-up habits and IQs.
这份研究刊载于《Cogent Psychology》期刊之上，研究对象包括200名女大学生，她们都属于同一个专业，自尊、化妆习惯和智力水平都相当。
The women were randomly split into three groups and asked to put on make-up, listen to music, or draw. All then took an exam based on a chapter of a textbook they had just read. Results showed the women who used cosmetics scored an average of 24.2 out of 30, compared to 19.9 and 22 in the other groups.
这些女学生被随机分成三组，然后被要求化妆、听音乐和画画。然后，所有人都参加了一场考试，测验内容是教科书中刚刚学过的一章。结果显示，化妆组平均得分24.2分（总分30分），其余两组平均19.9分和22分。
The researchers, from Harvard Medical School and Chieti University in Italy, said: ‘Women may use make-up to increase self-esteem by boosting their attractiveness; this makes them feel better during stress. Positive emotions increase information accessible in memory.’
据来自哈佛医学院和意大利基耶蒂大学的研究者表示：“女人可以通过用化妆提高自己吸引力的方法增强自尊；这会让她们在压力下感觉更加良好。而积极的情绪会增加记忆中可用的信息。”
