The relationship between obesity and structural aspects of the self-concept was examined in adult women. Participants were 119 adult women [age range: 18-73, M=26.9; body mass index (BMI) range: 16.2-54.7, M=27.3] who completed measures of self-esteem, self-complexity, and the spontaneous self-concept. BMI was associated with less complex and more compartmentalized self-knowledge and more frequent mention of weight-stereotypic traits as self-descriptive. The findings are discussed in the context of research on obesity- related stigma.
研究人员对成年女性肥胖与自我概念的结构方面之间的关系进行了考察。参与者为119名成年女性[年龄范围：18 - 73岁，M = 26.9；体重指数（BMI）范围：16.2 - 54.7，M = 27.3]，她们完成了自尊、自我复杂性和自发自我概念的测量。BMI与较简单、更具条块分割性的自我认知相关，且她们在自我描述中更频繁地提及与体重相关的刻板印象特征。研究结果在肥胖相关污名的研究背景下进行了讨论。
