【 摘 要 】

Young adults’ reactions to breastfeeding images were assessed using varied approaches. In Study 1, participants viewed posters from a breastfeeding campaign; many anticipated negative reaction to the campaign. In Study 2, participants viewed novel infant-feeding posters; breastfeeding posters were viewed for less time than bottle-feeding posters, regardless of the task assigned. In Study 3, participants were asked to rate their comfort level viewing infant-feeding images; greater discomfort was reported for breastfeeding images. Taken together, we argue that many young adults expect, and experience, discomfort viewing breastfeeding, but it is important to continue using breastfeeding images in promotion efforts.
