Advances in cell phone technology have the potential to disrupt eating patterns. In this research, we focused on the camera function of a cell phone, characterizing: (i) the extent to which this function is used during meals; (ii) whether meal-time photographers show signs of pathological eating; and (iii) whether the act of taking food photographs alters the amount and enjoyment of food eaten. In the first study, we used the experience sampling method to track one week of meals from 137 young adults. Although we observed a low base rate of meal-time photography (5.44% of the 1140 meals captured), phone users who engaged in this practice had higher external eating scores than those who did not. That is, these meal-time photographers were more likely to eat in response to external cues (e.g. the sight of palatable food) than to internal cues of hunger. However, when participants were randomly assigned to take either food or non-food photographs within a lab setting (Study 2), we found no evidence that the type of photography influenced either the amount or enjoyment of food eaten. Taken together, our findings suggest a limited role for cell phone photography in an obesogenic environment.

当相机先吃饭:探索进餐时间手机摄影如何影响饮食行为

手机技术的进步有可能破坏饮食模式。在这项研究中,我们专注于手机的相机功能,表征:(i)该功能在用餐时的使用程度;(ii) 进餐时间摄影师是否表现出病态进食的迹象;(iii) 拍摄食物照片的行为是否会改变食用食物的数量和享受。在第一项研究中,我们使用经验抽样方法跟踪 137 名年轻人一周的膳食。尽管我们观察到进餐时间摄影的基本比率较低(捕获的 1140 顿饭的 5.44%),但从事这种做法的电话用户的外部进食分数高于不这样做的人。也就是说,这些进餐时间的摄影师更有可能根据外部线索(例如 看到可口的食物)而不是饥饿的内在暗示。然而,当参与者被随机分配在实验室环境中拍摄食物或非食物照片时(研究 2),我们没有发现任何证据表明摄影类型影响所吃食物的数量或享受。综上所述,我们的研究结果表明,手机摄影在致肥胖环境中的作用有限。
