The current study examined the relation between women's food intake and their conformity to feminine norms after a negative mood induction, as well as the potential moderating role of expressive suppression. Female participants (N = 197) watched a sad movie clip, partook in a taste test in which they consumed potato chips and chocolate, and completed a survey with questions designed to assess conformity to feminine norms and the use of expressive suppression in daily life. Regression analyses revealed that increased conformity to the feminine norm of modesty was associated with reduced food intake, whereas conformity to the feminine norms of thinness and appearance were not. Expressive suppression did not moderate any of these relations. Overall, this study affirms the importance of understanding how overarching cultural norms such as femininity influence women's food consumption.
本研究考察了女性在负面情绪诱导后，食物摄入量与女性规范一致性之间的关系，以及表达抑制的潜在调节作用。女性参与者（N=197）观看了一段悲伤的电影片段，参与了一个品尝测试，在测试中她们吃了薯片和巧克力，并完成了一份调查问卷，问卷中的问题旨在评估对女性规范的一致性和在日常生活中使用表达抑制的情况。回归分析显示，对谦虚这一女性规范的一致性越高，食物摄入量就越低，而对苗条和外表这两个女性规范的一致性则没有影响。表达抑制并不能调节这些关系中的任何一个。总的来说，这项研究证实了理解诸如女性气质等总体文化规范如何影响女性食物消费的重要性。
