肥胖是一种健康状况，但其后果远远超出健康范围。为了阐明一个重要的途径，肥胖的经验可以过滤到地位的实现过程中，本研究借鉴了全国青少年健康纵向研究的全国代表性数据，以测试肥胖和教育之间的性别联系的社会心理模型。肥胖的女孩在高中毕业后进入大学的可能性低于非肥胖的同龄人，特别是当她们就读的学校肥胖相对不常见时。其他分析显示，内化症状，自我药疗和学术脱离的比例增加解释了大约三分之一的肥胖女孩的大学入学率较低。另一方面，肥胖的男孩在大学入学率上与同龄人没有区别，无论他们的学校背景如何。
Obesity is a health condition, but its consequences extend far beyond the realm of health. To illuminate an important route by which the experience of obesity can filter into the status attainment process, this study drew on nationally representative data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to test a social psychological model of the gendered link between obesity and education. Obese girls were less likely to enter college after high school than were their nonobese peers, especially when they attended schools in which obesity was relatively uncommon. Additional analyses revealed that increasing rates of internalizing symptoms, self-medication, and academic disengagement explained about one-third of the obese girls lower odds of college enrollment. Obese boys, on the other hand, did not differ from their peers-no matter what their school context-in college enrollment.
