我们研究了抵消可控性(减肥能力)和抵消努力(减肥努力)对肥胖目标判断的影响。参与者(n=216)阅读了一个肥胖的人，他的体重是可控的/不可控的，并且没有/没有努力健康饮食和锻炼。在对目标的评估中，努力比可控性发挥了更重要的作用。努力保持健康的目标被归因于较少的肥胖刻板印象，引起较少的厌恶，并被认为拥有更可接受的生活方式。这些发现扩展了归因理论，并对减少体重偏差的策略有一定的指导意义。
We examined the impact of offset controllability (capability of losing weight) and offset effort (efforts to lose weight) on judgments of an obese target. Participants (n = 216) read about an obese person whose body weight was controllable/uncontrollable, and who did/did not put in effort to eat healthily and exercise. Effort played a more important role than controllability in evaluations of the target. Targets who put in effort to be healthy were ascribed fewer obesity stereotypes, evoked less disgust, and were considered to have a more acceptable lifestyle. These findings extend attribution theory and have implications for strategies to reduce weight bias.
