Teenage Girls' Responses

 

In 1980, De Jong conducted an experiment to examine the responses of teenage girls to photographs of overweight girls and thin girls. Each photograph had an attached statement, presumably written by the person in the photograph. Participants' responses to the photographs suggested that unless the fat person’s statement offered an ג€œexcuseג€ for her weight, she was rated as less likeable than the slim girls in the photographs.

According to the study, which photographs received a positive response? Choose the 2 correct answers.

Overweight girls who said they had a health problem.

Overweight girls who said they liked eating.

Girls who were thin.
