Research focused on assessing weight stigmatization has typically been conducted using cross-sectional, retrospective designs. Such designs may impair the scientific understanding of this stigma by limiting participants' recall of frequencies and/or details about stigmatizing events. To address this, 50 overweight/obese women were recruited from public weight forums to complete week-long daily diaries. A total of 1077 weight-stigmatizing events were reported on the Stigmatizing Situations Inventory. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to investigate potential relationships between participant-level factors and reported stigmatization. Results indicate that body mass index, education, age, daily activities, and interpersonal interactions all may impact individuals' levels of stigmatization.
专注于评估体重歧视的研究通常采用横断面、回顾性设计。此类设计可能会限制参与者对歧视事件发生频率和/或细节的回忆，从而损害对这种歧视的科学理解。为了解决这一问题，从公共体重论坛招募了50名超重/肥胖女性，让她们完成为期一周的每日日记。在“歧视情况量表”上共报告了1077起体重歧视事件。采用分层线性模型研究参与者层面的因素与报告的歧视之间的潜在关系。结果表明，体重指数、教育程度、年龄、日常活动和人际互动都可能影响个体的歧视程度。
