Compared to those who perceived their weight accurately, young people who wrongly perceived themselves as being overweight had a 40 per cent greater risk of becoming obese as adults.
相较于那些正确评价自己体重的青少年,觉得自己更胖的人有高出前者40%的机率在成年后患上肥胖症。
But why would seeing themselves as heavier than they actually are predispose teens to later weight gain?
可是为什么觉得自己太胖,会把人真的往这个方向上推呢?
As well as being more likely to adopt unhealthy behaviours such as using diet pills or vomiting, these people may also have less self control, the study suggests.
研究显示除了更容易做出吃减肥药和催吐的行为,他们还可能有更弱的自制能力。
'The teens are likely also influenced by weight-related stigmatisation, which is itself associated with obesity.
他们还可能受到过与体重相关的歧视行为,这种歧视本身也与肥胖症有相关性。
Ultimately, these factors may result in a self-fulfilling prophecy, they say.
研究者认为,这些因素综合起来将形成一种心理预期,而你就是实现自己预言的人。
But why would boys be more affected than girls?
可是为什么男生更容易受这个心理预期影响?
'It may be that girls are more attentive to their weight and may intervene earlier when they experience any weight gain. As such, the self-fulfilling prophecy may be stronger for boys than for girls.' says Dr Sutin.
