焦点小组利用计划行为理论，研究了德克萨斯州城市非裔美国人和拉丁裔青少年（N = 83，18-19 岁）样本中关于身体形象的信念和感知规范。文化饮食（行为信念）解释了对超重的接受和容忍。嘻哈时尚的流行和有限的收入分别阐明了同侪和家庭的规范信念。在非裔美国人中，瘦弱等同于艾滋病毒感染（父母的规范信念）。健康饮食和积极生活（控制信念）的障碍包括意志力、懒惰、快餐和过度工作。研究结果可以指导针对非裔美国人和拉丁裔青少年制定和实施适合文化的肥胖干预措施。
Focus groups, utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior, examined the beliefs and perceived norms regarding body image in a sample of urban African-American and Latino teenagers (N = 83, 18-19 years old) from Texas. Cultural eating (behavioral belief) explained the acceptance and tolerance of overweight. Popularity of hip-hop fashion and limited income explicated peer and familial normative beliefs, respectively. Thinness equated HIV infection in African-Americans (parental normative belief). Barriers to healthy eating and active living (control beliefs) included willpower, laziness, fast food, and excessive work. Findings can guide the development and implementation of culturally appropriate obesity interventions for African-American and Latino adolescents.
