研究人员发现,周围的环境会影响我们的进食量。

At a ballgame, you have a hot dog. And at a movie you have popcorn. And you may keep working on that popcorn long after you realize that this batch really isn’t so good. Why?

看一场球赛,你会吃一个热狗。看一场电影,你会吃一桶爆米花。你可能就着电影不停的吃了很久,才发现爆米花其实并不好吃。这是为什么呢?

Scientists analyzed two groups of movie-goers, those who eat popcorn regularly at theaters and those who don’t. The subjects were offered either fresh just-popped popcorn or week-old popcorn. The ones who don’t usually eat popcorn ate much less stale popcorn than fresh popcorn. But the habitual popcorn eaters gobbled just as much stale stuff as fresh. The study is in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

科学家研究了两组看电影的人群,一组有在影院吃爆米花的习惯,另外一组没有这个习惯。研究人员向他们提供了两种爆米花,一种是刚爆出来的新爆米花,一种是放了一周的旧爆米花。没有吃爆米花习惯的那组人只吃了新鲜爆米花,而陈旧的吃的很少;但是,有吃爆米花习惯的一组两种爆米花吃的同样多。这项研究发表在《个性与社会心理学杂志》。

Environmental cures might be a cause for this kind of overeating. Because when offered the two kinds of popcorn in a meeting room, as opposed to the movie theater, the popcorn eaters were picky, choosing fresh popcorn over stale.

环境因素可能导致这种过度进食的行为。如果在会议室而不是影院里向大家提供两种爆米花,人们对就变得挑剔起来,都去吃新鲜的爆米花。 3

And here’s a neat twist: the researchers had movie goers eat both fresh and stale popcorn using their non-dominant hand. And suddenly the popcorn lovers did care about the taste—they ate much less of the stale popcorn than the fresh popcorn. Yes, eating with your other hand may be awkward. But it beats eating old food.

还有一个有趣的发现:研究人员让这批人用非惯用手(non-dominant hand)吃爆米花,这时候有吃爆米花习惯的人开始注意到食物的味道了——他们吃的陈旧爆米花少于新鲜的爆米花。当然,用平常不习惯的手吃东西会觉得别扭,但是这能让你少吃陈旧食物。
