Experiencing objectification encourages a preference for indulgent foods
Overweight or obesity, often linked to excessive consumption of unhealthy foods, increases the risk of developing various chronic diseases. The present study aims to systematically investigate the effect of suffering from objectification on a preference for indulgent food. We found across five studies (Chinese participants, N = 1011) that individuals who endure a higher level of objectification exhibit a greater intention to consume indulgent foods, employing a longitudinal survey (Study 1) and a series of fully controlled experiments (Studies 2a-3). Specifically, Study 1 revealed a positive association between experiencing objectification and the consumption of indulgent foods. Studies 2a-2c further demonstrated a causal relationship between experiencing objectification and a preference for indulgent food using different manipulation paradigms and measurements. In Study 3, we replicated this effect and further tested the mediating role of emotional distress in the process. Taken together, our findings suggest that objectification, as an inconspicuous interpersonal maltreatment, heightens individuals’ emotional distress and then fosters their preference for indulgent food.
期刊介绍:
Food Quality and Preference is a journal devoted to sensory, consumer and behavioural research in food and non-food products. It publishes original research, critical reviews, and short communications in sensory and consumer science, and sensometrics. In addition, the journal publishes special invited issues on important timely topics and from relevant conferences. These are aimed at bridging the gap between research and application, bringing together authors and readers in consumer and market research, sensory science, sensometrics and sensory evaluation, nutrition and food choice, as well as food research, product development and sensory quality assurance. Submissions to Food Quality and Preference are limited to papers that include some form of human measurement; papers that are limited to physical/chemical measures or the routine application of sensory, consumer or econometric analysis will not be considered unless they specifically make a novel scientific contribution in line with the journal''s coverage as outlined below.
