Abstract:Weight-related attitudes refer to negative attitudes toward individuals because they are overweight or obese. These attitudes are widespread among children and adults and have been proven to be recalcitrant to intervention. To develop more effective interventions, it is necessary to understand the origin and development of explicit and implicit weight-related attitudes. In the present study, we administered two measures of explicit weight-related attitudes and an adaptation of an established social cognitive measure (Implicit Association Test) to 84 children (4-to 7-year-olds). Three main findings emerged. First, the two measures of explicit weight-related attitudes were significantly correlated, suggesting they may be tapping into a similar underlying construct. Second, implicit weight-related attitudes tended to higher in older children. Third, explicit and implicit weight-related attitudes were not related to each other. Implications for interventions to reduce weight-related attitudes are discussed.

幼儿体重柱头的显式和内隐测量

摘要：与体重有关的态度是指对个体的消极态度，因为他们超重或肥胖。这些态度在儿童和成人中普遍存在，并已被证明对干预不服。为了制定更有效的干预措施，有必要了解明显和隐含的体重相关态度的起源和发展。在本研究中，我们对84名儿童（4至7岁）实施了两种明确的与体重相关的态度的措施以及一项既定的社会认知措施（隐性联想测验）的改编。出现了三个主要发现。首先，显式的与体重相关的态度的两个量度显着相关，表明它们可能正在利用类似的潜在构造。其次，年龄较大的孩子与内隐的体重相关的态度倾向于更高。第三，显性和隐性与体重有关的态度彼此无关。讨论了干预措施以减轻与体重有关的态度。
