这项研究调查了儿童的判断和情绪与体重为基础的社会排斥，使用种族多样化的样本117名9岁和13岁的儿童。孩子们接受了关于在运动、学术和社会环境中被体重排斥的三种情况的采访。研究了儿童对排斥的判断、归因于排斥者和被排斥对象的情绪以及判断和情绪的理由。总的来说，孩子们出于道德原因认为基于体重的排斥是错误的。然而，与学术环境相比，他们认为在运动环境中基于体重的排斥没有那么错误，而且与学术和社会环境相比，他们使用更多的社会传统推理来证明运动环境中被排斥者的判断和情绪。孩子们也期望被排斥的对象感受到负面情绪，而一系列积极和消极的情绪被归因于被排斥者。此外，年龄较大的孩子在运动环境中比在学术和社会环境中更容易接受基于体重的排斥。我们讨论了与儿童理解发展有关的结果，以及与基于体重的排斥相关的情绪。
This study examined children's judgements and emotions associated with weight-based social exclusion using an ethnically diverse sample of one hundred and seventeen 9- and 13-year-old children. Children were interviewed about three scenarios depicting weight-based exclusion in athletic, academic, and social contexts. Children's judgements of exclusion, emotions attributed to the excluder and excluded targets, and justifications for judgements and emotions were examined. Overall, children judged weight-based exclusion to be wrong for moral reasons. However, they viewed weight-based exclusion in athletic contexts as less wrong compared with academic contexts, and they used more social-conventional reasoning to justify judgements and emotions attributed to excluders in athletic contexts compared with academic and social contexts. Children also expected excluded targets to feel negative emotions, whereas a range of positive and negative emotions was attributed to excluders. In addition, older children were more accepting of weight-based exclusion in athletic contexts than in academic and social contexts. We discuss the results in relation to the development of children's understanding of, and emotions associated with, exclusion based on weight.
