传统的身体形象研究一直受到限制，专注于身体瘦作为吸引力的唯一组成部分证据表明，非洲裔美国妇女可能持有的吸引力，超越大小，包括因素，如着装和种族的多因素的看法目前的研究采用了一个文化敏感的剪影模型评级任务（MRT），以检查服装的影响，身体大小，和种族的吸引力出乎意料。服装、体型对吸引力评分的影响最小。或者非裔美国人和白人女性之间的模特比赛总体而言，参与者更喜欢穿着。体重不足和非裔美国人模型因素，如接触不同的群体和非裔美国人文化的变化可能解释目前的研究结果。未来的研究，以描绘非洲裔美国人和高加索妇女使用MRT的吸引力的组成部分，需要扩大我们的理解和概念化的吸引力跨种族群体。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利
Traditional body image studies have been constrained by focusing on body thinness as the sole component of attractiveness Evidence suggests that African American women may hold a multifactorial view of attractiveness that extends beyond size to include factors such as dress attire and race The current study employed a culturally sensitive silhouette Model Rating Task (MRT) to examine the effects of attire, body size, and race on attractiveness Unexpectedly. minimal differences on attractiveness ratings emerged by attire, body size. or model race between African American and Caucasian women Overall, participants preferred the dressed. underweight, and African American models Factors such as exposure to diverse groups and changes in African American culture may explain the present findings. Future studies to delineate the components of attractiveness for African American and Caucasian women using the MRT are needed to broaden our understanding and conceptualization of attractiveness across racial groups.
