The aim of the present study was to test if pleasure, neutrality and disgust expressed by other individuals on a photograph could affect the desire to eat liked or disliked food products. Forty-four men and women were presented with two series of photographs. The first series of photographs was composed of six food photographs: three liked and three disliked food products. The second series consisted of the same photographs presented with eaters expressing three different emotions: disgust, pleasure or neutrality. Results showed that the effect of the presence of an eater, and of emotions expressed by this eater, depended on the food category. For the liked foods, the desire to eat was higher when these foods were presented alone than with an eater expressing neutral emotion. When the eater expressed pleasure, the desire to eat these liked foods did not significantly increase. In contrast, when the eater expressed disgust, the desire to eat them significantly decreased. When the foods were disliked, the influence of the pleasant social context was stronger than for the liked foods. The desire to eat the disliked foods actually increased in the presence of an eater expressing pleasure. On the contrary, the disgust and neutral context had no effect on the desire for disliked foods.
本研究的目的是测试照片中其他人表现出的愉悦、中立和厌恶情绪是否会影响对喜欢或不喜欢的食品的进食欲望。44名男性和女性观看了两组照片。第一组照片由六张食物照片组成：三种喜欢的和三种不喜欢的食品。第二组照片由相同的食物照片组成，但照片中的进食者表现出三种不同的情绪：厌恶、愉悦或中立。结果表明，进食者的存在及其所表达的情绪的影响取决于食物类别。对于喜欢的食物，单独呈现这些食物时的进食欲望高于与表现出中立情绪的进食者一起呈现时。当进食者表现出愉悦时，食用这些喜欢的食物的欲望并没有显著增加。相反，当进食者表现出厌恶时，食用它们的欲望显著降低。当食物不受欢迎时，愉快的社交环境的影响比对喜欢的食物的影响更强。在表现出愉悦的进食者面前，食用不喜欢的食物的欲望实际上增加了。相反，厌恶和中立的情境对不喜欢的食物的欲望没有影响。
