目的：确定非裔美国人（AA）和高加索女性是否将与种族和体重相关的变量分组为离散聚类，以及是否存在具有独特亚组特征的可辨别的反应模式。方法：女性（N=277，48% AA）完成了卡片分类任务，排名28个变量。我们使用多维尺度来确定变量之间的相似性和差异，并使用潜在类别分析来识别响应相似的子组。结果：我们确定了5簇变量和4个响应模式，这是人口统计学和人体测量学上不同的。结论：这些结果可用于行为减肥干预的经验文化剪裁。
Objective: To determine if African American (AA) and Caucasian women grouped variables related to race and weight into discrete clusters and if there were discernable response patterns with unique subgroup characteristics. Methods: Women (N=277, 48% AA) completed a card sorting task, ranking 28 variables. We used multidimensional scaling to determine perceived similarities and differences between variables, and latent class analysis to identify subgroups responding similarly. Results: We identified 5 clusters of variables and 4 response patterns, which were demographically and anthropometrically distinct. Conclusions: These results can be used for empirical cultural tailoring of behavioral weight loss interventions.
