在两个样本（N = 247，N = 291）中，我们研究了关于体重的可变（增量理论）与固定（实体理论）性质、体重归因和身体羞耻的信念和信息之间的联系。我们使用在线抽样招募参与者，在研究1中采用相关设计，在研究2中采用实验设计。在这两项研究中，我们发现了耻辱不对称效应的证据——增量，相对于实体信念/体重信息预测（a）更强的起始责任归因，间接增加身体羞耻感和（b）更强的抵消功效归因，间接减少身体羞耻感。研究 2 复制了反肥胖态度带来的耻辱不对称效应。我们讨论肥胖信息对公共卫生的影响，以减少耻辱感。
In two samples (N = 247, N = 291), we examined the link between beliefs and messages about the changeable (incremental theory) vs. fixed (entity theory) nature of weight, attributions for weight, and body shame. We recruited participants using online sampling, employing a correlational design in Study 1 and an experimental design in Study 2. Across both studies, we found evidence for the stigma-asymmetry effect—incremental, relative to entity beliefs/messages of weight predicted both (a) stronger onset responsibility attributions, indirectly increasing body shame and (b) stronger offset efficacy attributions, indirectly decreasing body shame. Study 2 replicated the stigma-asymmetry effect with anti-fat attitudes. We discuss implications for public health obesity messages with the goal of reducing stigma.
