Weight bias is evident among normal weight and obese individuals. This weight bias may be associated with comparisons to others, which may enhance feelings of self-worth. However, the ego-enhancing versus ego-diminishing influence of these evaluations may be moderated by the individual's weight status, and the strength of these effects may be moderated by gender. Eight-five participants completed the Implicit Associations Test, questionnaires assessing explicit weight bias, body image, and self-esteem, and height and weight assessments. Implicit weight bias was prevalent among all individuals, p<.001, and was associated with a more positive body image, ps<.05, and higher self-esteem, ps<.01, for thinner individuals but a more negative body image and lower self-esteem for heavier individuals. Gender moderation effects were not observed. It is arguably problematic that the positive benefits to normal weight individuals' self-esteem and body image appear to come via negative comparisons with overweight individuals.
体重偏见在正常体重和肥胖个体中都很明显。这种体重偏见可能与与他人的比较有关，这可能会增强自我价值感。然而，这些评价对自我增强或自我贬低的影响可能会受到个体体重状况的调节，而这些影响的强度可能会受到性别的调节。85 名参与者完成了内隐联想测验、评估外显体重偏见、身体形象和自尊的问卷以及身高和体重评估。所有个体都存在明显的体重偏见，p<.001，并且与更积极的身体形象相关，ps<.05，自尊更高，ps<.01，对于较瘦的个体，但对于较重的个体则身体形象更消极，自尊更低。没有观察到性别调节效应。可以说，正常体重个体的自尊和身体形象的积极益处似乎是通过与超重个体的负面比较获得的，这是有问题的。
