When their American identity was called into question during a follow-up study,Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American dishes,such as hamburgers and cheese sandwiches.In that experiment,55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant.Some participants were told that only Americans could participate in the study.Those who chose the more typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories,including 12 grams of fat and 7 grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪).,”said Sauna Cheryan,an author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington.“If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their lives,this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health.”Cheryan added.
Social pressures,the study concluded,are at the heart of the problem.“In American society today,being American is associated with being white.,who don't fit this image even if they were born here and speak English,feel that pressure to prove that they're American,” said Cheryan.【语篇解读】 移居美国是不少人的梦想,许多移民不惜以健康为代价千方百计融入美国社会。________.-calorie snackscans are at the risk of heart disease
