The study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of a partly adapted, German version of the Weight Bias Internalization Scale (WBIS-Y) in a sample of treatment-seeking adolescents with overweight.
A survey (N = 191), including measures of weight bias internalization (WBI), self-esteem, self-efficacy, health-related quality of life, and body-related locus of control, was followed by semistructured interviews (N = 10). Cronbach's α, correlation, and factor analyses were performed. Interview data were subjected to inductive content analysis.
The WBIS-Y displayed good reliability and construct validity. WBI correlated negatively with self-esteem, self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life, and positively with body mass index and external body-related locus of control. Interviewees found the scale to be comprehensive, linguistically accessible, and acceptable despite its sensitive nature.
The WBIS-Y is recommended for use both in research with adolescents and as a guide for mitigating the negative consequences of weight stigmatization in the treatment of pediatric obesity.
本研究旨在评估经过部分改编的、适用于德语的体重偏见内化量表（WBIS-Y）在寻求治疗的超重青少年样本中的心理测量特性。
一项调查（N=191）包括体重偏见内化（WBI）、自尊、自我效能感、健康相关生活质量和与身体相关的控制源的测量，随后进行半结构化访谈（N=10）。进行了克朗巴赫的α、相关性和因子分析。访谈数据进行了归纳内容分析。
WBIS-Y 显示出良好的信度和结构效度。WBI 与自尊、自我效能感和健康相关生活质量呈负相关，与体重指数和外部与身体相关的控制源呈正相关。受访者认为该量表虽然敏感，但内容全面，语言易懂，可接受。
WBIS-Y 推荐在青少年的研究中使用，作为减轻儿科肥胖治疗中体重污名化的负面影响的指南。
