The current study was an investigation into the possible developmental aspects of the "Eating Stroop" effect, as produced by non-eating disordered subjects. The subject pool comprised male and female subjects, ranging in age from 9 to 14 years. Their task was to color-name a series of Stroop arrays, comprising food-related words, body shape-related words, and two sets of neutral matched control words. It was found that there were significant performance decrements for both food and shape-related words with the 14-year-old girls. The results indicated a possible color-naming decrement with food-related words for the 11-year-old girls, but not shape words. No color-naming decrements were found with the 9-year-old group, or the male subjects. The results are interpreted in terms of cultural pressures on women to diet to attain an "ideal" body shape and the different developmental stages at which such pressures exert themselves.
本研究调查了非饮食失调受试者产生的“饮食斯特鲁普效应”可能的发展方面。受试者群体包括年龄在9至14岁之间的男性和女性。他们的任务是为一系列斯特鲁普阵列中的单词颜色命名，这些阵列包括与食物相关的单词、与体型相关的单词以及两组中性匹配的控制单词。研究发现，14岁女孩在与食物和体型相关的单词方面表现显著下降。结果表明，11岁女孩在与食物相关的单词上可能存在颜色命名下降，但在体型单词上没有。9岁组或男性受试者中未发现颜色命名下降。研究结果从文化对女性节食以达到“理想”体型的压力以及这种压力发挥作用的不同发展阶段的角度进行了解释。
