The ubiquitous Barbie doll:she's been everything from a football coach to a surgeon.
芭比娃娃真是隨處可見:她的造型從足球教練再到外科醫(yī)生可謂五花八門。
But girls who play with Barbie may have their ambition stunted—that's according to a study in the journal Sex Roles.
但是一款常相伴的芭比也許會對女孩自身的成長發(fā)育目標(biāo)造成阻礙—這是根據(jù)《性別角色》雜志上的一篇研究得出的結(jié)論。
Researchers had groups of girls play with one of three dolls.
研究人員從一組女孩挑選3個芭比娃娃中的1個進行了測試。
One was a Barbie doll dressed as a fashion model in a clingy dress.
一個是穿緊身衣的時裝芭比。
A second Barbie was a doctor in a white coat and jeans.
另一個是白大褂牛仔褲的醫(yī)生芭比。
The third doll was a Mrs.Potato Head.
而第三個芭比娃娃則是家喻戶曉的土豆太太。
After a few minutes of play the girls were asked if they could someday be any of eleven different occupations.
短暫的游玩嬉戲之后女孩們被詢問關(guān)于從11種不同職業(yè)中選取一種作為未來職業(yè)的問題。
The girls who'd played with either of the Barbie dolls were more likely to pick traditional pink-collar jobs like teacher, librarian or flight attendant.
與前兩種芭比娃娃嬉戲過后的女孩們更傾向于選擇像是教師，圖書館管理員或者飛機乘務(wù)員等傳統(tǒng)的女性粉領(lǐng)工作。
But girls who played with Mrs.Potato Head envisioned themselves as also being firefighters, pilots or police officers.
但土豆太太芭比的那組女孩暢想自己的未來則是屬于像消防員，飛行員或者警員的職業(yè)。
The researchers say the limited occupational opportunity that Barbie seems to impart could be due to her unrealistic and overly sexualized image, rather than her outfits or careers.
研究人員們表示，芭比娃娃對于職業(yè)規(guī)劃所能影響的也許是由于她們本身不太真實且性別特征過于明顯的大眾形象，而非她們百變的衣裝或是職業(yè)形象造型。
And the world is less limited when looked at through Mrs.Potato Head's…eyes.
而從土豆太太的眼神中，孩子們看到的未來世界是具有無限可能的。
