Obesity bias such as teasing or weight criticism during physical activity can lead to psychological or emotional damage for overweight or obese individuals. The literature indicates that the adverse effects of stigmatization on overweight or obese individuals can be mediated by coping mechanisms. However, little is known about how overweight or obese children and adolescents cope with weight stigma in physical activity/education settings. This paper provides a conceptual analysis of coping mechanisms through reviewing work on weight stigma in psychology literature and discusses the future research directions. The most promising areas for future research include conducting an in-depth qualitative exploration of overweight or obese individuals' coping mechanisms against obesity bias and studying potential individual and situational factors as moderating variables in physical activity/education settings.
在体育活动中诸如嘲笑或体重批评等肥胖偏见会对超重或肥胖个体造成心理或情感伤害。文献表明，污名化对超重或肥胖个体的不利影响可通过应对机制来调节。然而，对于超重或肥胖的儿童及青少年在体育活动/教育环境中如何应对体重污名却知之甚少。本文通过回顾心理学文献中关于体重污名的研究成果，对应对机制进行了概念分析，并讨论了未来的研究方向。未来研究最有前景的领域包括对超重或肥胖个体应对肥胖偏见的应对机制进行深入的定性探索，以及研究在体育活动/教育环境中作为调节变量的潜在个体和情境因素。
