The current study explored the effect of availability of a forbidden food on subsequent eating behavior in restrained and unrestrained women.
Thirty restrained and 30 unrestrained, normal-weight women were assigned randomly to one of two conditions, an experimental group that was exposed to a forbidden food (chocolate) for 24hr or a control group that was given no special intervention. At the end of the exposure period, all subjects completed an intake test of the forbidden food.
Although subjects were instructed not to eat the food provided for the exposure period, women in the restrained group consumed a small quantity of the chocolate, whereas unrestrained women consumed none. Intake at test was greater in the temptation than in the control condition and restrained eaters consumed more than unrestrained eaters in both conditions.
The results are discussed in terms of current theories of restrained eating and the possible interrelationships between eating regulation and cognition.
本研究探讨了禁食物的可得性对节制饮食和不节制饮食的女性随后进食行为的影响。
30名节制饮食和30名不节制饮食的正常体重女性被随机分配到两种条件之一,即接触禁食物(巧克力)24小时的实验组或未接受特殊干预的对照组。在接触期结束时,所有受试者完成了禁食物的摄入量测试。
尽管受试者被指示在接触期内不要食用提供的食物,但节制饮食组的女性食用了少量巧克力,而不节制饮食的女性则未食用。测试时诱惑条件下的摄入量高于对照条件,并且在两种条件下,节制饮食者的摄入量都多于不节制饮食者。
根据当前关于节制饮食的理论以及饮食调节与认知之间可能的相互关系对结果进行了讨论。
