本研究旨在探讨晒黑程度与健康和吸引力认知之间的关系。样本由来自维多利亚五所中学的 191 名学生组成，平均年龄为 14 岁。向受试者展示一系列幻灯片模型对，并要求受试者指出每对模型中更健康、更有吸引力的刺激模型。系统变化的自变量为：晒黑程度（4个级别：无晒黑、浅晒黑、中晒黑和深晒黑）、着装（泳装和休闲装）、模特性别和受试者性别。对健康和吸引力的判断彼此之间有一定的相关性，三分之二的人做出同样的判断。结果表明，中等程度的晒黑被认为是最健康和最具吸引力的，而“没有晒黑”则被认为是最不健康和最有吸引力的。一般来说，对于男模特的判断、穿泳装的模特的判断以及总体上希望晒黑的受试者来说，深色的棕褐色被认为相对更健康、更有吸引力。受试者的性别影响对吸引力的判断，但不影响健康状况，男性受试者认为深色棕褐色比女性受试者更具吸引力。这些发现证实，晒黑程度会影响对健康和吸引力的感知。晒黑具有这些属性是旨在鼓励减少暴露在阳光下的皮肤癌控制活动的障碍，尽管对最深晒黑程度的偏好较低是令人放心的。
The present study sought to explore the relationship between level of suntan and perceptions of healthiness and attractiveness. The sample consisted of 191 students with a mean age of 14 years from five Victorian secondary schools. Subjects were presented with a series of slide pairs of models and asked to indicate the healthier and more attractive stimulus model in each pair. Systematically varied independent variables were: tan level (4 levels: no tan, light, medium, and dark tan), attire (swimwear and casual), sex of model, and sex of subject. Judgements of healthiness and attractiveness were moderately related to each other, the same judgement being made two thirds of the time. Results indicate that a medium tan is perceived as healthiest and most attractive, and “no tan” is perceived as both least healthy and attractive. Generally, darker tans were judged relatively more healthy and more attractive for judgements of male models, judgements of models who wore swimwear, and overall by subjects who desired a dark tan. Sex of subject affected judgements of attractiveness but not healthiness, with male subjects seeing darker tans as more attractive than female subjects. These findings confirm that perception of both healthiness and attractiveness are affected by level of suntan. That suntans have these attributes is a barrier to skin cancer control campaigns designed to encourage reduced exposure to the sun, although the lower level of preferences for the darkest tan level is reassuring.
