对超重体型的负面态度的存在证明了两组学龄前儿童3至5岁(NS = 30和83),使用四种不同的措施的身体大小的耻辱。虽然这种耻辱感在年龄较大的儿童中更强,但在3岁奥尔兹中明显存在。很少有人支持外群体成员的污名化会更严重的观点。相反,“肥胖是不好的”的文化刻板印象在不同性别中普遍存在,而不管孩子自己的体型如何。事实上,超重的学龄前儿童比那些不超重的儿童表现出更强的耻辱感。研究结果表明,努力抵消身体大小的耻辱应该开始在早期学龄前几年。
The existence of negative attitudes toward overweight body builds is demonstrated in two groups of preschool children aged 3 to 5 years (ns = 30 and 83), using four different measures of body size stigmatism. Although this stigmatism was stronger in the older children, it was clearly present in the 3 year olds. There was little support for the position that stigmatism would be greater for outgroup members. Rather, the cultural stereotype that 'fat is bad' was pervasive across gender, regardless of the child's own body build. In fact, overweight preschoolers demonstrated stronger stigmatism than did those who were not overweight. The findings suggest that efforts to counteract body size stigmatism should begin in the early preschool years.
