与陌生人一起吃饭时，人们往往比独自吃饭时吃得少（社交抑制进食），而与家人和朋友一起吃得多（社交促进进食）。为了评估社会抑制和促进饮食的意识，我们进行了两项在线研究（研究1:N = 481；研究2:N = 485）。在研究1中，参与者想象一个用餐场景，并指出与自己比较熟悉的人（朋友、家人、熟人、陌生人）一起用餐时，与独自用餐时相比，他们会吃得一样多，还是吃得少。研究1的结果表明，参与者想象与朋友/家人一起吃特殊的饭菜，因此，在研究2中，另一组参与者做出了与研究1相同的预测，但他们对特殊和常规的饭菜也是如此。在研究1中，绝大多数参与者表示他们会和陌生人/熟人“少吃”。相似比例的参与者表示，与朋友/家人在一起时，他们会“吃得一样”或“吃得更多”，而与朋友/家人在一起时，说他们会“吃得更少”的参与者要少得多。在研究2中，大多数参与者表示他们会在特殊和常规餐中与陌生人“少吃”。对于与熟人一起吃饭，大多数参与者报告说他们在正常用餐时“吃得一样”，而对于特殊用餐，同样数量的人说他们会“吃得一样”和“吃得少”。大多数参与者表示，在与朋友/家人一起吃特别的一餐时，他们会“吃得更多”。然而，对于与朋友/家人的常规用餐，绝大多数参与者表示他们会“吃一样的东西”。因此，参与者承认在特殊用餐时摄入的社会抑制和社会促进作用，但他们不愿意或无法承认，与独自用餐相比，他们会与朋友/家人一起吃得更多。提高人们的意识，与朋友/家人一起吃饭会增加正常膳食的摄入量，这可能对那些试图控制摄入量的人有所帮助。
When eating with strangers, people tend to eat less than they would when eating alone (social inhibition of eating), whereas they tend to eat more with family and friends (social facilitation of eating). To assess awareness of the social inhibition and facilitation of eating we conducted two online studies (Study 1:N = 481; Study 2:N = 485). In Study 1, participants imagined a dining scenario and indicated whether they would eat the same, more, or less when eating with someone who was more or less familiar to them (friend; family member; acquaintance; stranger) compared with when eating alone. Results from Study 1 indicated that participants imagined eating special meals with friends/family and so, in Study 2, another group of participants made the same predictions as for Study 1, but they did so for special and regular meals. In Study 1, a significant majority of participants said that they would “eat less” with a stranger/acquaintance. A similar proportion of participants said that they would “eat the same” or “eat more” when with a friend/family member and significantly fewer participants said that they would “eat less” with a friend/family member. In Study 2, the majority of participants said that they would “eat less” with a stranger across both special and regular meals. For meals with an acquaintance, the majority of participants reported that they would “eat the same” during regular meals, while for special meals, equal numbers said that they would “eat the same” as would “eat less.” The majority of participants indicated that they would “eat more” during a special meal with a friend/family member. However, for regular meals with a friend/family member, a significant majority of participants said that they would “eat the same.” Hence, participants acknowledge the social inhibition of intake and the social facilitation of eating at special meals, but they are either unwilling or unable to acknowledge that they would eat more with a friend/family member at a regular meal compared with eating alone. Raising awareness that eating with friends/family is associated with greater intake at regular meals may be helpful for individuals who are trying to manage their intake.
