What appears to be happening is that a person becoming obese most likely causes a change of norms about what counts as an appropriate body size. 「這代表的是一種直接、具有因果關係的人際關係。似乎是因為，當一個人變肥胖後，很可能造成觀念的改變，會對何種才是適當的體型有不同的看法。 "People come to think that it is OK to be bigger since those around them are bigger, and this sensibility spreads." 人們會開始認為變胖是可以接受的，因為周遭的人也變胖，而這樣的意識會在社交圈中散佈開來。」 Moral support Dr Richard Suzman, director of the National Institute of Aging's Behavioral and Social Research Programme, said the finding could have important implications. 國家老年化行為及社會研究計畫主持人Dr. Richard Suzman說，這項研究結果可能有相當重要的含意。 He said: "This seminal study breaks important new ground in showing how social networks may amplify other factors and help account for the dramatic increase in obesity across the [US] population." 他說：「這項有發展性的研究開拓了新的研究領域，因為它顯示社交網可能會讓其它的因素擴增，也有助於解釋美國肥胖人口何以大增。」 Dr Ian Campbell, medical director of charity Weight Concern, said it was no surprise that people who are obese tended to be friends with others who were obese, but that the fact that the link was more important between friends than siblings was "very interesting". 慈善組織「肥胖關懷」的醫學主任Dr. Ian Campbell說，胖子較容易與其他胖子交朋友並不讓人意外，但這種作用在朋友之間比在兄弟姊妹之間影響更大，倒是「非常有意思的事。」 He said this suggested that social factors were even more important than physical ones in obesity. 他說，對肥胖來說，這暗示社交因素可能比身體因素還來得更重要。 He added that, on the positive side, if overweight people had friends who were obese, they could offer moral support to help each other lose weight. 他還說，就正面的層面來說，如果過重的人有著同樣肥胖的朋友，他們可以相互成為對方減重的精神支柱。 'Speculation' But Professor Andrew Hill, of the University of Leeds, said it was purely speculation to suggest that people's body images change because their friends become obese. 但里茲大學Prof. Andrew Hill說，人們對體型的理想隨友人增重而改變，是純屬臆測。 And he said it was important not to forget things which are known as key factors in obesity, such as diet and exercise. 他也說，不能因此忘掉其它已知造成肥胖的關鍵因素，如飲食與運動。 "The statistics may be meaningful, but in real life this is not very helpful to people who are overweight. 「這些數據可能很有意義，但在現實生活中這當已經過重的人沒什麼幫助。 "We don't have an understanding of what is really causing the relationship - it might be very complicated." 「我們並不了解造成這種效應的真正原因是什麼－－這有可能非常複雜。」 ---------- NBC的電視新聞報導裡，開頭三位婦女所說的，正是我上面畫黃線的部份所描述的總之不要被台灣斷章取義甚至亂編的新聞唬了 ---------- 以下是感想文板上常常有人在罵怎麼有一堆奇怪的研究結果（很多都是英國的）如果每天都看國外的新聞報導就會發現超過十成都是台灣女支者自己沒把外電看清楚斷章取義再加一個聳動的標題就送出去播報再被鄉民幹看看國外的新聞媒體怎麼報才能比較了解是怎麼一回事我每天早上看BBC和CNN的時候常常都會想國內的爛女支者會下什麼樣的聳動標題去報導同樣的事 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.166.232.222 ※ 編輯: piatigorsky 來自: 218.166.232.222 (07/26 20:54)
