A picture of Jiang Qinqin. Study: Magazine ads of thin models make women overeat 想瘦身吗?别看美女广告! Research now shows a supermodel figure or the "ideal" thin woman image reflected in magazine advertisements trigger young women, obsessed with their own body image, to eat more. Interestingly, those with a more balanced healthy body image tend to eat less. 一项研究表明,为身材所困的年轻女性看到杂志广告上的超级模特或是有着“魔鬼”身材的女性,会食量大增;有意思的是,身材匀称的女性看到这样的广告后反而会吃得更少。 The study done in Australia is important in bringing out the point that advertising not only affects the way we think but also our patterns of eating behavior. 这项来自澳大利亚的研究得出一个重要结论,即广告不仅会影响人们的思维方式,而且还会影响人们的饮食方式。 Fiona Monro, graduate student at the University of New South Wales, explains the results of the study published in the November edition of the journal, Eating Behaviors: "We would expect people who value the way they look would be reminded by viewing the image and not eat." 这项研究结果在《饮食行为》第十一期上发表。新南威尔士大学的研究生菲奥纳·蒙罗解释说:“我们原以为,为身材所困的女性看到广告中的苗条女性后会减少食量。” |
