Abstract

This study examined whether young men adjusted their snack-food intake to that of a same-sex eating companion. Additionally, hunger was assessed as a possible moderating variable. A total of 59 young men (M age=21.73) participated. An interaction between participants' hunger and confederate's intake on the total amount of snack food (in grams) consumed was found. Only those males who were hungry at the start of the experiment modeled the intake of their eating companion. This finding suggests that hunger may play an important role in explaining the magnitude of social modeling among young men.

摘要

本研究考察了年轻男性是否会根据同性进食伙伴的饮食来调整自己的零食摄入量。此外，还评估了饥饿感是否是一个可能的调节变量。共有 59 名年轻男性（平均年龄=21.73 岁）参与了研究。研究人员发现，参与者的饥饿感和同伴的摄入量之间存在相互作用，这种相互作用会影响他们所吃零食的总量（以克为单位）。只有那些在实验开始时感到饥饿的男性才会模仿他们的进食伙伴的饮食摄入量。这一发现表明，饥饿感可能在解释年轻男性之间社会模仿的程度方面起着重要作用。
