Food for Thought: Does Fast Food Make Us Impatient?

食物决定思维：快餐使人急躁？

When you go to a fast-food restaurant, you expect to get your fries quickly. But thinking about fast food makes us impatient about other things, too, according to a recent study in Psychological Science. People who examined the aesthetics of a McDonald’s or KFC logo were more likely to choose to take a smaller sum of money immediately (rather than waiting for a bigger payout a week later) than those who had critiqued the logos of inexpensive sit-down chains. After thinking about fast food, people were also more interested in time-saving products, such as 2-in-1 shampoo-conditioner, and they read a paragraph faster despite the fact that there was no time limit. Even when the task at hand has nothing to do with food, this study suggests, you act how you eat.

走进快餐店，你希望快速得到所点餐食。但，《心理科学》的一项研究表明，仅仅是想想快餐也使我们在对待其它事务上变得急躁、不耐烦。看过麦当劳或肯德基标识的人比看廉价餐饮连锁店标识的人更倾向于立即拿到一小笔资金而不是等一个星期后拿一笔更大的资金。当在脑海中想过一阵子快餐后，人们会对2合1洗发水之类节省时间的产品更感兴趣，在阅读的时候也更快，尽管在这些事情上并没有时间限制。这项研究意味着，即使手头的事情与食物无关，你的表现也会折射出你的饮食习惯。
