本研究以自我差异理论为理论基础，采用探索性研究方法，考察了女性对自身体型的认知。研究目的是了解带有视觉错觉印花或图案的服装如何影响女性对体型的看法。15名女性接受了身体扫描以确定她们的体型，并参加了一个深入的半结构化访谈，同时观看了研究人员制作的七种不同的光学错觉服装中描绘的个性化头像（从她们的身体扫描中创建）。数据分析揭示了六个主题：（1）自我感知，（2）服装和身体，（3）定义理想，（4）身体形状类别的偏好，（5）佩戴视错觉的影响，以及（6）更理想的自我。研究结果表明，视错觉服装对人体形态的视觉感知有一定的影响，并能使人体形态更理想。
Using an exploratory approach, the current study, theoretically grounded in the self-discrepancy theory, investigated a woman's perceptions of her body shape. The purpose was to understand how garments created with optical illusion prints or patterns affect women's perceptions of body shape. Fifteen women were body scanned to determine their body shape and participated in an in-depth semistructured interview while viewing a personalized avatar (created from their body scan) depicted in the seven different optical illusion garments created by the researcher. Data analysis revealed six themes: (1) perception of self, (2) clothing and the body, (3) defining ideals, (4) preferences by body shape category, (5) effects of wearing optical illusions, and (6) a more ideal self. The results from this study indicated that optical illusion garments do effect the visual perception of body shape and can result in the perception of a more ideal body shape.
