根据对年轻人从小就经常接触的一种特定类型的媒体的内容分析，多年来（即，动画片），本研究探讨了提供哪些类型的有关体重不足、超重和正常体重的信息。本研究探讨以下问题：（1）动画片中体重相关内容的普遍程度如何？(2)这种流行率是否随时间而改变？(3)哪些“类型”的特征往往与比正常瘦或比正常胖有关？结果表明，在过去的几十年里，体重不足和超重的特点发生了巨大变化。这些关系在本质上都是曲线的，但近几十年来，所有卡通中体重过轻的角色比例显着增加，而超重角色的比例同时下降。许多变量被发现不同的基础上卡通人物的体重，包括性别，年龄，智力，身体吸引力，情绪状态的经验，亲社会行为，反社会行为，和整体的好/坏。无论何时发现差异，压倒一切的趋势是卡通提供关于瘦的积极信息和关于超重的消极信息。
Relying upon a content analysis of one specific type of medium to which young people are exposed beginning at an early age, on a regular basis, and for many years (i.e., animated cartoons), the present study examines what types of messages are provided about being underweight, overweight and normal weight. This research examines the following issues: (1) How prevalent is weight-related content in animated cartoons? (2) Has this prevalence changed over time? (3) What “types” of characteristics tend to be associated with being thinner-than-normal or heavier-than normal? Results indicate that the prevalence of both underweight and overweight characters has changed dramatically over the course of the past several decades. These relationships are both curvilinear in nature, but in recent decades have demonstrated a significant increase in the proportion of all cartoons showing characters that are underweight and a simultaneous decrease in the prevalence of characters that are overweight. Many variables were found to differ based on cartoon characters’ body weight, including gender, age, intelligence, physical attractiveness, emotional states experienced, prosocial behaviors, antisocial behaviors, and overall goodness/badness. Whenever differences were found, the overriding tendency was for cartoons to provide positive messages about being thin and negative messages about being overweight.
