Skin-color preferences and body satisfaction among 100 South Asian-Canadian and 100 European-Canadian female university students were examined. South Asian-Canadian females were found to desire lighter skin than they possessed and had lower body satisfaction compared with European-Canadian females. Among South Asian-Canadians, the desire to be lighter skinned was greater the more participants differed from the cultural White ideal. Light- and medium-skinned South Asian-Canadians had the highest and lowest levels of body satisfaction, respectively.
研究了100名南亚裔加拿大女大学生和100名欧洲裔加拿大女大学生的肤色偏好和身体满意度。结果发现，南亚裔加拿大女性希望自己的肤色比实际肤色更浅，与欧洲裔加拿大女性相比，她们的身体满意度更低。在南亚裔加拿大人中，与文化上的白人理想差异越大的参与者，想要拥有更浅肤色的愿望就越强烈。浅肤色和中等肤色的南亚裔加拿大女性身体满意度分别为最高和最低。
