The strength of implicit anti-fat attitudes may be related to visual portrayals of obesity and individuals' pre-existing explicit attitudes toward appearance and weight. Participants (N=117) completed measures of explicit weight bias, beliefs about weight controllability, orientation toward personal appearance, overweight preoccupation, and two Implicit Association Tests (IAT). One IAT measured implicit anti-fat attitudes when individuals with obesity were shown engaging in behaviors congruent with common stereotypes (e.g., eating snacks, watching television), while a second IAT measured attitudes in response to stereotypically incongruent images (e.g., preparing vegetables, exercising). Whereas implicit weight bias was evident for both IATs, the stereotype congruent IAT was significantly related to higher implicit weight bias, appearance orientation, and overweight preoccupation, and was marginally related to explicit anti-fat attitudes. The stereotypical portrayal of individuals with obesity was related to implicit anti-fat attitudes, which may have implications for the development, maintenance, and expression of stigmatizing anti-fat attitudes.
隐性反肥胖态度的强度可能与肥胖者的视觉形象以及个体对外貌和体重的预先存在的明确态度有关。参与者（N=117）完成了对明确的体重偏见、对体重可控性的信念、对个人外貌的取向、超重关注以及两个内隐联想测验（IAT）的测量。一个 IAT 测量了当肥胖者从事与常见刻板印象一致的行为（例如吃零食、看电视）时的隐性反肥胖态度，而第二个 IAT 则测量了对刻板印象不一致的图像（例如准备蔬菜、锻炼）的反应态度。虽然两种 IAT 都显示出隐性体重偏见，但与刻板印象一致的 IAT 与更高的隐性体重偏见、外貌取向和超重关注显著相关，与明确的反肥胖态度呈边缘相关。对肥胖者的刻板印象与隐性反肥胖态度有关，这可能对污名化反肥胖态度的发展、维持和表达产生影响。
