BACKGROUND
This study examined the effect of types of causal information about overweight on children's attitudes and intentions toward a peer presented as overweight.
METHODS
Participants (N = 176) were randomly assigned to read a vignette of an overweight peer in one of three conditions, which varied in the explanatory information provided for the aetiology of the peer's overweight condition: biological, environmental or no causal information, along with a vignette of an average-weight peer.
RESULTS
The provision of information that the overweight was the result of biological factors and of no causal information yielded more positive attitudes toward the overweight peer compared to those who were provided with environmental information. Information on overweight had no impact on behavioural intentions. A social desirability bias was found for each of the three experimental conditions and for the average weight condition.
CONCLUSION
Information explaining overweight had a minimal positive effect on attitudes and no effect on intentions toward an overweight peer.
背景
本研究考察了超重因果信息类型对儿童对超重同伴态度和意图的影响。
方法
参与者（N=176）被随机分配阅读一个超重同伴的小插曲，该同伴的超重情况在三种条件下有不同的解释信息：生物学、环境或没有因果信息，同时还有一个平均体重同伴的小插曲。
结果
与提供环境信息的情况相比，提供信息表明超重是生物因素的结果和没有因果信息会导致对超重同伴的态度更加积极。超重信息对行为意图没有影响。在三种实验条件下和平均体重条件下都发现了社会期望偏差。
结论
解释超重的信息对超重同伴的态度只有微小的积极影响，对意图没有影响。
