The current study examined the impact of receiving information about a woman's eating disorder status on perceptions of the woman's health and attractiveness. A total of 99 females and 84 males viewed a photo of a model who had disclosed her diagnosis of anorexia nervosa. Participants were randomly divided into three groups: model (M) group (those who were informed that the photo showed a model), eating disorders (ED) group (those who were informed that the photo showed a woman with an eating disorder), and no description control (C) group. Male and female participants in the ED group rated the woman in the photo as less healthy than did participants in the M and C groups. However, there were no differences between groups for ratings of attractiveness or the participants' desire to achieve a similar look (for females). Additionally, male participants rated the photo as less attractive than female participants had predicted. Finally, internalization of the thin ideal was a significant predictor of ratings of health and attractiveness of the woman in the photo.
本研究旨在探讨女性饮食失调状况的信息对他人对其健康和吸引力的认知的影响。共有 99 名女性和 84 名男性观看了一位患有神经性厌食症的模特的照片。参与者被随机分为三组:模特(M)组(被告知照片上是模特)、饮食失调(ED)组(被告知照片上是患有饮食失调的女性)和无描述对照组(C)组。ED 组的男性和女性参与者对照片中的女性的健康评价低于 M 组和 C 组的参与者。然而,在吸引力评价或参与者对相似外观的渴望方面,各组之间没有差异(对于女性)。此外,男性参与者对照片的评价低于女性参与者的预期。最后,瘦理想的内化是照片中女性健康和吸引力评价的一个重要预测因素。
