No evidence for a selective processing of subliminally presented body words in restrained eaters

Article Abstract:

Researchers investigated the possibility of restrained eaters giving unusual attention to words concerning weight or body shape during information processing at the automatic stage. They tested a group of 13 individuals with high eating restraints, and a group of 15 individuals with low eating restraints, using supraliminal and subliminal presentation of words in a Stroop test. They found no differences between the two groups in their processing of the words concerning weight or body shape.
