这项研究通过让参与者突出肉类的象征意义，测试了饮食偏好改变的程度。之前的一项科学研究发现，支持社会等级制度和人类凌驾于自然之上的人会吃更多的红肉和白肉，而反对等级制度和统治地位的人会吃更多的水果和蔬菜。结果表明，与对照组相比，拒绝等级和优势的治疗组个体(大多数参与者)对红肉和白肉的感知不那么好，减少了他们对红肉和白肉的喜好，减少了他们对红肉和白肉的客体认同感，预计他们在接下来的三天里会吃更多的水果和蔬菜，确实在三周后的后续研究中吃了更多的水果和蔬菜。此外，在对饮食选择缺乏信心的治疗组中，显著操作对红肉和白肉的负面反应以及对水果和蔬菜的更大接受度的能力最强。那些以前考虑减少肉类摄入量的人，以及低/正常体重的人。这些发现对促进健康和食物选择理论具有重要意义。(C)2002爱思唯尔科学有限公司。保留所有权利。
The present study tested the extent to which dietary preferences are altered by making aspects of the symbolic meaning of meat salient to participants. Individuals in the treatment group were informed of a previous scientific study which found that people who endorse social hierarchy and human dominance over nature consume more red and white meat, and that people who reject hierarchy and dominance eat more fruits and vegetables. The results showed that, compared to a control group, individuals in the treatment group who reject hierarchy and dominance (most participants) perceived red and white meat less favourably, decreased their liking of red and white meat, decreased their object identification with red and white meat, anticipated that they would eat more fruits and vegetables in the subsequent three days, and indeed consumed more fruits and vegetables in a follow-up study three weeks later. Moreover, the salience manipulation's ability to induce a negative response toward red and white meat and greater acceptance of fruits and vegetables was strongest for individuals in the treatment group for whom the salience manipulation made sense, individuals with less confidence in their diet choices. those who had previously considered reducing their meat consumption, and low/normal weight persons. These findings have implications for health promotion and for theories of food choice. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
