Abstract

Abstract:Weight-related attitudes refer to negative attitudes toward individuals because they are overweight or obese. These attitudes are widespread among children and adults and have been proven to be recalcitrant to intervention. To develop more effective interventions, it is necessary to understand the origin and development of explicit and implicit weight-related attitudes. In the present study, we administered two measures of explicit weight-related attitudes and an adaptation of an established social cognitive measure (Implicit Association Test) to 84 children (4-to 7-year-olds). Three main findings emerged. First, the two measures of explicit weight-related attitudes were significantly correlated, suggesting they may be tapping into a similar underlying construct. Second, implicit weight-related attitudes tended to higher in older children. Third, explicit and implicit weight-related attitudes were not related to each other. Implications for interventions to reduce weight-related attitudes are discussed.
幼儿体重污名的显性和隐性测量
摘要:与体重相关的态度是指对超重或肥胖的人的消极态度。这些态度在儿童和成年人中普遍存在,并已被证明是对干预的抗拒。为了制定更有效的干预措施,有必要了解显性和隐性体重相关态度的起源和发展。在本研究中,我们对84名儿童(4至7岁)进行了两项与体重相关的外显态度测量和一项已建立的社会认知测量(内隐联想测试)的调整。出现了三个主要发现。首先,两种与体重相关的外显态度显著相关,这表明它们可能利用了相似的基本结构。其次,与体重相关的内隐态度在年龄较大的儿童中往往更高。第三,显式和内隐式体重相关态度之间没有相关性。讨论了干预措施对减少体重相关态度的影响。
