To investigate whether preschool-age children's ratings of an overweight model were influenced by perceptions of responsibility for weight, type of play activity (i.e., running or cards), and information (i.e., positive or neutral).
A total of 152 children (74 boys), aged 3 to 6 years, were randomly assigned to watch two videotapes; one presented information about the model (positive or neutral) and one depicted the model engaged in an activity (running or playing cards).
Children who blamed models for being overweight provided lower acceptance ratings than those who did not. Ratings provided by children who blamed models were influenced by information and activity condition. This was not true for children who did not blame the models.
Results were marked by complexity, indicating that the interplay of perceptions of responsibility and contextual cues influenced ratings. In the future, researchers should consider other variables that might interact with perceptions of responsibility to influence children's perceptions of peers who are overweight.
探讨学龄前儿童对超重模型的评价是否受到对体重责任的认知、游戏活动类型（即跑步或玩牌）以及信息（即积极或中性）的影响。
总共152名3至6岁的儿童（74名男孩）被随机分配观看两盘录像带；一盘展示关于模型的信息（积极或中性），另一盘描绘模型参与一项活动（跑步或玩牌）。
将超重归咎于模型的儿童给出的接受度评分低于未归咎的儿童。归咎于模型的儿童给出的评分受信息和活动条件的影响。对于未归咎于模型的儿童则并非如此。
结果呈现出复杂性，表明对责任的认知与情境线索之间的相互作用影响了评分。未来，研究人员应考虑其他可能与对责任的认知相互作用以影响儿童对超重同伴认知的变量。
