将负面结果归咎于偏见和歧视，可能会保护一些遭鄙视贬斥群体的情绪和自尊。因此，超重的人可能自尊心很低，因为他们把基于体重的负面结果归咎于自己的体重，而不是他人的态度。在一项实验中，27名超重和31名正常体重的女大学生从一名男性评估者那里得到了积极或消极的社会反馈。相对于其他组，超重的女性谁收到负面反馈归因于他们的体重反馈，但没有责怪他的反应评估。这种归因模式导致这些超重的妇女与其他群体相比，更多的负面情绪。尺寸的耻辱，可能占的差异倾向于归因于负面结果的偏见，这些研究结果的影响，减肥计划和心理治疗的超重，进行了讨论。
Attributing negative outcomes to prejudice and discrimination may protect the mood and self-esteem of some stigmatized groups. Thus, the overweight may be low in self-esteem because they blame their weight, but not the attitudes of others, for negative outcomes based on their weight. In an experiment, 27 overweight and 31 normal weight college women received either positive or negative social feedback from a male evaluator. Relative to other groups, overweight women who received negative feedback attributed the feedback to their weight but did not blame the evaluator for his reaction. This attributional pattern resulted in more negative mood for these overweight women in comparison with other groups. Dimensions of stigma that may account for differences in the tendency to attribute negative outcomes to prejudice, and implications of these findings for weight loss programs and psychotherapy for the overweight, are discussed.
