It’s decided: decisive people no more accurate than self-doubters。

Research finds only difference between so-called action-oriented and state-oriented people is confidence

By Nicola Davis

It’s a trait best seen in the eager pub quizzer – a tendency to leap to an answer without a shadow of a doubt.

Now researchers have suggested that while people who have little difficulty making decisions are more confident in their choices, they are no more accurate than those who feel more torn.

Writing in the journal Plos One, researchers revealed how they conducted experiments to explore potential differences between people who tend to be decisive, known as action-oriented people, and those who struggle to commit to a choice, known as state-oriented people.

“What we found is that confidence was the only thing that was different,” said Dr Wojciech Zajkowski, the first author of the research, who is now based at the Riken social decision science laboratory in Japan.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今日は関西弁について話します。
みなさんは日本語を勉強していますね。

関西弁って聞いたことがありますか？
日本の関西地方の方言、なまりですね。

関西とは大阪府・京都府・兵庫県・奈良県・滋賀県・和歌山県の2府4県のことです。

2府4県とは、
大阪府・京都府ー2府
兵庫県・奈良県・滋賀県・和歌山県ー4県
のことです。

その地域で話されている言葉を関西弁、といいます。
ですが、その2府4県でもそれぞれ違います。

今日は大阪生まれのぼくが話す関西弁、について5つだけ紹介します。

ダメーあかん

本当ーほんま

早くーはよ

とても、すごいーめっちゃ

知らないー知らん

こんな感じですね。

例文を作ってみます。

・え、そんなんしたらあかんて！やめときや。
ーえ、そんなことしたらダメだよ、やめなよ。

・ほんまつかれたわ。はよ寝よ。
ー本当につかれたね、早く寝よう。

・めっちゃ人並んでるやん。こんな人気なん知らんかったわー。
ーすごい人並んでるね。こんなに人気があるの知らなかったね。

どうですか？
わかりました？

標準語に直してみると、変な感じです。
東京の人が本当にこう言うかはわからないですけど、一応、標準語だとこんな意味になります。


関西弁はめっちゃおもしろいです。
イントネーションとか、テンポとか、語尾とか、特徴があります。

ぼくはこのPodcastでは標準語に近い感じで話しますが、いつも奥さんと話す時は、完全に関西弁です。

2人で話すPodcastもまた作りますね。

ということで、今日はこれで終わります。

こんなぼくと一緒に話したい！と思った方はぜひ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

italkiでお待ちしています！

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
