We examined the automatic activation of "sedentary" and "exerciser" stereotypes using a social prime Stroop task. Results showed significantly slower response times between the exercise words and the exercise control words and between the sedentary words and the exercise control words when preceded by an attractive exerciser prime. Words preceded by a normal-weight exerciser prime showed significantly slower response times for sedentary words over sedentary control words and exercise words. An overweight sedentary prime resulted in significantly slower response times for sedentary words over exercise words and exercise control words. These results highlight the need for increased awareness of how active and sedentary lifestyles are portrayed in the media.
我们使用社会启动 Stroop 任务来检验“久坐”和“锻炼者”刻板印象的自动激活。结果表明,当吸引人的锻炼者启动词出现在锻炼词和锻炼控制词之前时,它们的反应时间明显较慢;当正常体重的锻炼者启动词出现在静止词之前时,静止词的反应时间明显比静止控制词和锻炼词慢;当超重的久坐者启动词出现在静止词之前时,静止词的反应时间明显比锻炼词和锻炼控制词慢。这些结果强调了需要提高对媒体中活跃和久坐生活方式的描绘方式的认识。
