Research suggests that people attribute more negative traits to individuals with obesity than to non-obese individuals, and that females with obesity are seen more negatively than males. The theory also suggests that stereotypes are cognitive predecessors of prejudices. The aims of this research were to examine the latent structure underlying anti-fat stereotypical traits, differences in perceiving individuals with obesity and non-obese individuals, male and female individuals with obesity, as well as the role of anti-fat stereotypes in anti-fat prejudices. The sample consisted of 106 respondents (Male = 16; Female = 86; Mean age = 19.98), who graded stimuli photographs of male and female individuals (with obesity and average-weight) on series of anti-fat stereotypical traits on two occasions, and filled in Anti-fat prejudices questionnaire. The data were analyzed through EFA and CFA, ANOVA, and structural equation modeling (moderation). Four factors behind stereotypical traits were extracted: Positive social image, Perceived lack of self-care, Perceived persistence, and Antipathy. It has been shown that respondents gave stimuli photographs of individuals with obesity lower scores on Positive social image and Perceived persistence, and higher scores on Perceived lack of self-care and Antipathy. The same results were obtained for females within the subsample of individuals with obesity. Furthermore, it has been shown that certain anti-fat stereotypes (Positive social image, Perceived lack of self-care, and Perceived persistence) predict anti-fat prejudices, and that gender was a significant moderator of the effect of Perceived lack of self-care on anti-fat prejudices. We can conclude that individuals with obesity are indeed seen in a more negative light than non-obese individuals, and that this is more pronounced for females with obesity, which is in accordance with previous studies. Moreover, the results suggest the possible role of anti-fat stereotypes as cognitive predecessors of anti-fat prejudices, and that gender of individuals with obesity has an effect on this relationship.

研究表明，人们认为肥胖者比非肥胖者有更多的负面特征，而且肥胖的女性比男性更消极。该理论还表明，刻板印象是偏见的认知前身。这项研究的目的是检查抗脂肪刻板印象背后的潜在结构、肥胖和非肥胖个体、男性和女性肥胖个体的感知差异，以及抗脂肪刻板印象在抗脂肪中的作用。脂肪偏见。样本由 106 名受访者（男性 = 16；女性 = 86；平均年龄 = 19.98）组成，他们对男性和女性个体（肥胖和平均体重）的刺激照片进行了两次评分，包括一系列抗脂肪刻板特征，并填写了反脂肪偏见问卷。通过 EFA 和 CFA、ANOVA 和结构方程建模（适度）分析数据。提取了刻板特征背后的四个因素：积极的社会形象、感知的缺乏自我照顾、感知的坚持和反感。研究表明，受访者给肥胖个体的刺激照片在积极的社会形象和感知的持久性上得分较低，而在感知的缺乏自我照顾和反感上得分较高。肥胖个体子样本中的女性也获得了相同的结果。此外，已经表明某些反脂肪刻板印象（积极的社会形象、感知到的缺乏自我照顾和感知到的坚持）预示着反脂肪的偏见，并且性别是感知到的缺乏自我的影响的重要调节因素。注意抗脂肪的偏见。我们可以得出结论，肥胖的人确实比非肥胖的人更消极，这对于肥胖的女性更为明显，这与之前的研究一致。此外，结果表明，反脂肪刻板印象可能是反脂肪偏见的认知前身，肥胖个体的性别对这种关系有影响。
