反思性自我评价表明，个体功能与个体特征与其主要环境规范之间的匹配有关。为了将这一社会心理学概念应用于肥胖研究，我们假设有肥胖风险的青少年总体上的学习成绩低于其他学生，特别是在他们的体重状况最有可能引起负面评价的学校。全国代表性数据的多层次建模显示，在学生中浪漫活动率较高和平均体型较低的学校，肥胖风险与成就之间的负纵向关联更强，这两种学校环境中肥胖可能被污名化，但在运动参与率较高的学校中较弱，这种污名化也可能发生。进一步的分析表明，最后一个意想不到的发现反映了一个利基挑选的过程。
Reflected self-appraisal suggests that individual functioning is related to thefit between individual characteristics and the norms of their primary contexts. To apply this social psychological concept to the study of obesity, we hypothesized that adolescents at risk of obesity would have lower academic achievement overall than other students, especially in schools in which their weight status was most likely to elicit negative evaluations. Multi-level modeling of nationally representative data revealed that the negative longitudinal association between risk of obesity and achievement was stronger in schools with higher rates of romantic activity and lower average body size among students, two school contexts in which obesity was likely to be stigmatized, but weaker in schools with higher rates of athletic participation, a school context in which such stigmatization was also likely. Additional analyses suggested that this last, unexpectedfinding reflected a process of niche-picking.
