Adolescent girls with overweight or obesity are less socially integrated than their thinner peers. We examine racial-ethnic differences in girls’ weight-related friendship patterns, especially noting Black–white distinctions given their different norms about the ideal feminine form. We also test whether schools with more Black students see diminished weight-related differences in peer integration for all girls and/or for Black girls. Using 1994–1995 data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, we predict the number of friendship nominations girls receive conditional on their weight status, race-ethnicity, and school’s racial composition. Both white and Black girls with overweight or obesity are less integrated than their thinner peers regardless of the school’s Black enrollment rate. Hispanic girls with overweight are more integrated than white girls with overweight, particularly in schools with low Black enrollments. The relative consistency of girls’ weight-related friendship patterns demonstrates the ubiquity of dominant feminine thinness norms.

黑人学生或黑人学校的女性体重标准是否不同？种族化学校背景下女孩与体重相关的同伴接受度。


与较瘦的同龄人相比，超重或肥胖的青春期女孩的社会融入程度较低。我们研究了女孩与体重相关的友谊模式的种族差异，特别注意到黑人和白人之间的差异，因为他们对理想女性形态的规范不同。我们还测试了黑人学生较多的学校是否发现所有女孩和/或黑人女孩在同伴融入方面与体重相关的差异有所减少。利用 1994-1995 年国家青少年至成人健康纵向研究的数据，我们预测了女孩获得的友谊提名的数量，条件是她们的体重状况、种族民族和学校的种族构成。无论学校的黑人入学率如何，超重或肥胖的白人女孩和黑人女孩的融入程度都低于较瘦的同龄人。超重的西班牙裔女孩比超重的白人女孩更容易融入社会，特别是在黑人入学率较低的学校。女孩与体重相关的友谊模式的相对一致性表明，主导女性瘦弱规范的普遍存在。
