最近的研究结果表明，与流行的时尚建议相反，水平线并不会给人一种体型较大的印象(Thompson，2008；Thompson&Mikellidou，2009,2011)。然而，在这些研究中，刺激是与垂直线和水平线同时呈现的，目前还不清楚在缺乏这种知觉锚的情况下是否存在同样的效果。在这项研究中，120名天真的参与者与一名穿着有垂直条纹、水平条纹或没有条纹的连衣裙的女性邦联成员互动。随后，他们被要求给邦联的体型打分。结果显示，这位邦联成员穿着水平条纹衣服时的体型比穿垂直条纹衣服或不穿条纹衣服时要大得多。当她穿着垂直条纹或不穿条纹时，她对体型的感知没有显著差异。讨论了这些结果的实际意义。
Findings in recent studies indicate that, contrary to popular fashion advice, horizontal lines do not give the impression of larger body size (Thompson, 2008; Thompson & Mikellidou, 2009, 2011). However, in these studies stimuli were presented concurrently with vertical and horizontal lines, and it is unclear whether the same effect is found in the absence of such perceptual anchors. In this study, 120 naive participants interacted with a female confederate wearing a dress with vertical stripes, horizontal stripes, or no stripes. Following this, they were asked to rate the confederate's body size. Results showed that the confederate was rated as having a significantly larger body size when she was dressed in horizontal stripes than when she was wearing either vertical stripes or no stripes. There was no significant difference in body size perceptions when she was wearing vertical stripes or no stripes. The practical implications of these results are discussed.
