Abstract

Weight self-stigma, the internalization of negative societal stereotypes, is a problem among populations with high weight. Weight self-stigma is associated with psychological inflexibility and maladaptive health-related behaviors. In this study, the authors explore how weight-related psychological inflexibility may influence weight self-stigma and health-related outcomes in 79 adults with high weight. Participants were primarily White (92.4%) and female (82.3%), with an average age of 39.56 years and average body mass index of 33.78. The study uses baseline, self-report data from a larger trial. Results indicate that weight self-stigma was negatively correlated with maladaptive eating behaviors, weight, and mental health. Weight-related psychological inflexibility was found as a significant mediator for the relationship between weight self-stigma and emotional eating, sedentary behavior, and mental health. Weight-related psychological inflexibility did not mediate the relationships between weight self-stigma and other eating measures and physical activity. These results support targeting weight-related psychological inflexibility and weight self-stigma in interventions.

体重相关的心理不灵活性在体重自我耻辱和健康相关结果之间的中介作用

体重自我耻辱感是负面社会刻板印象的内化，是高体重人群的一个问题。体重自我耻辱感与心理不灵活和不适应健康相关行为有关。在这项研究中，作者探讨了与体重相关的心理不灵活性如何影响79名高体重成年人的体重自我耻辱感和健康相关结果。参与者主要为白人(92.4%)和女性(82.3%)，平均年龄为39.56岁，平均体重指数为33.78。该研究使用了来自一项更大规模试验的基线自我报告数据。结果表明，体重自我耻辱感与不良饮食行为、体重和心理健康呈负相关。体重相关的心理不灵活性是体重自我耻辱感与情绪化饮食、久坐行为和心理健康之间关系的重要中介。体重相关的心理不灵活性并没有调解体重自我耻辱和其他饮食措施和身体活动之间的关系。这些结果支持在干预中针对体重相关的心理不灵活性和体重自我耻辱感。
