| In recent decades,the number of obese people has increased dramatically,and the individual’s prejudice against obese people has also increased.Now the prevalence of obese prejudice has almost coincided with racial prejudice.Compared with foreign studies on body shape stereotypes and body shape bias,domestic research in this area is lacking.Obesity does not only affect the physical and mental health of obese people.The obese prejudice that results from this will indirectly hinder the stability of social relations.Therefore,it is imperative to attach importance to obesity and it is particularly important to explore the factors that influence obesity prejudice.In this research experiment,starting from the external perspective,self-reporting methods were used to explore the effects of weight loss efforts and obesity controllability on explicit obesity prejudice.As a result,it has been found that individuals with uncontrollable obesity and exerting weight loss efforts show less explicit obesity prejudice.And,compared with the controllability of obesity,weight loss efforts have a greater impact on the prevalence of obesity.The second experiment in this study starts from the implicit perspective and uses a single-target implicit association test to further explore the impact of obesity control and weight loss efforts on obesity prejudice on the implicit level.As a result,it was found that on the implicit level,people are more inclined to think that people who pay weight loss efforts are more active,which is consistent with the results on the implicit level.The following results show that obesity controllability and weight loss efforts are the key factors affecting the evaluation of obesity in individuals.Based on previous studies,this study innovatively measures the factors that influence obesity prejudice from the implicit level.It also confirms that controllability and weight loss efforts can influence obesity prejudice under the domestic cultural background.Therefore,this study has great significance in reducing the social problem of obesity stigma. |
