我们试图确定公众认为谁是肥胖率上升的最大原因，并确定这种看法的决定因素。对800名美国人进行了一项全国性的调查。受访者被要求将七个实体(食品制造商、杂货店、餐馆、政府政策、农民、个人和父母)分别归入三类：主要的、部分的和不应归咎于肥胖症上升的。80%的人表示，肥胖率的上升主要归咎于个人。父母是第二大罪魁祸首，59%的人认为是主要罪魁祸首。回答沿着与个人责任、农业企业责任和政府农业政策相关的三个维度下降。许多特定于个人的因素与责备的感觉有关。例如，在经济政治意识形态量表上得分更高的人更有可能将肥胖归咎于政府和农业企业。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
We sought to determine who the public perceives as most contributing to the rise in obesity and to identify the determinants of such perceptions. A nationwide survey was conducted among 800 US individuals. Respondents were asked to place each of seven entities (food manufacturers, grocery stores, restaurants, government policies, farmers, individuals, and parents) into three categories: primarily, somewhat, and not to blame for the rise in obesity. Eighty percent said individuals were primarily to blame for the rise in obesity. Parents were the next-most blameworthy group, with 59% ascribing primary blame. Responses fell along three dimensions related to individual responsibility, agribusiness responsibility, and government-farm policy. A number of individual-specific factors were associated with perceptions of blame. For example, individuals with a more statist score on the economic political ideology scale were more likely to blame the government and agribusiness for obesity. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
