Toronto, ON ? According to a new Ipsos-Reid survey conducted on behalf of Alliance Atlantis, three in ten (29%) Canadians have been cheated on by a current or past partner. But, when it comes to what constitutes “cheating” it’s not purely physical. While nine in ten (90%) consider “an intimate physical encounter” cheating, seven in ten (68%) say “a secret dinner date,” half (51%) think “a kiss,” and four in ten (44%) consider an “online/internet flirtation” cheating. Asked whether or not they would forgive their spouse or partner if, by their definition, they were caught cheating, 46% say “yes,” 40% say “no,” and 14% simply “don’t know.”

Canadians have a few ways of knowing when a current or past partner has been, or are angry with them. Half (51%) of Canadians say when he/she “gives them the silent treatment,” one-quarter (26%) say when he/she “makes snide remarks,” one in ten (12%) say when he/she “slams doors,” and a similar proportion (9%) gets the hint when their partner “refrains from intimacy.” One in six (17%) rely on other methods of knowing when their partner is angry with them, and 4% “don’t know” how to tell when their partner is angry with them.

And when it comes to making up after the anger? Three in ten (28%) Canadians say they would “make their partner breakfast or dinner” if they were in a fight, one in six (17%) would “buy their partner a gift,” a similar proportion (16%) would “become intimate,” and one in ten (11%) would “grovel.” One-third (34%) of Canadians would not make it up to their partner, or do so in some other way, and 5% “don’t know” how they would make it up to them.

These are the findings of an Ipsos-Reid/Alliance Atlantis poll conducted between January 27th and January 29th 2004. The telephone survey is based on a randomly selected sample of 1056 adult Canadians. With a sample of this size, the results are considered accurate to within ± 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of what they would have been had the entire adult Canadian population been polled. The margin of error will be larger within regions and for other sub-groupings of the survey population. These data were statistically weighted to ensure the sample's regional and age/sex composition reflects that of the actual Canadian population according to the 2001 Census data.

想起上次看Air Canada的机内杂志,也有一个关于Canadian的调查,诸如Nacho or chips?这样的问题。有一个 "What are you doing after sex?"
的问题,有 4% 的回答是 "checking email" :smokin:
