Beauty and wellness are terms used often in common parlance, however their meaning and relation to each other is unclear. To probe their meaning, we applied network science methods to estimate and compare the semantic networks associated with beauty and wellness in different age generation cohorts (Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X, Baby Boomers) and in women and men. These mappings were achieved by estimating group-based semantic networks from free association responses to a list of 47 words, either related to Beauty, Wellness, or Beauty + Wellness. Beauty was consistently related to Elegance, Feminine, Gorgeous, Lovely, Sexy, and Stylish. Wellness was consistently related Aerobics, Fitness, Health, Holistic, Lifestyle, Medical, Nutrition, and Thrive. In addition, older cohorts had semantic networks that were less connected and more segregated from each other. Finally, we found that women compared to men had more segregated and organized concepts of Beauty and Wellness. In contemporary societies that are preoccupied by the pursuit of beauty and a healthy lifestyle, our findings shed novel light on how people think about beauty and wellness and how they are related across different age generations and by sex.

观看者语义记忆中的美丽与健康

美丽和健康是经常使用的术语，但它们的含义和彼此之间的关系尚不清楚。为了探究它们的含义，我们应用网络科学方法来估计和比较不同年龄段（Z 一代、千禧一代、X 一代、婴儿潮一代）以及女性和男性与美丽和健康相关的语义网络。这些映射是通过根据对 47 个单词列表的自由联想响应来估计基于组的语义网络来实现的，这些单词要么与“美容”、“健康”或“美容 + 健康”相关。美始终与优雅、女性、华丽、可爱、性感和时尚相关。健康始终与有氧运动、健身、健康、整体、生活方式、医疗、营养和繁荣相关。此外，年龄较大的群体的语义网络相互联系较少且更加隔离。最后，我们发现，与男性相比，女性对美容和健康的概念更加隔离和组织。在全神贯注于追求美丽和健康生活方式的当代社会，我们的研究结果为人们如何看待美丽和健康以及它们在不同年龄段和不同性别之间的关系提供了新的视角。
