Personality traits have been associated consistently with objective and subjective experiences of body weight. We examine whether this association extends to social attitudes and behaviors related to weight. Participants were mothers with children (=3,099) who completed measures of personality and weight-related attitudes and social interactions. Higher Neuroticism and higher Extraversion were associated with more negative attitudes towards persons with obesity and engagement in fat talk with their friends and around their children. Higher Conscientiousness was associated with fewer negative attitudes and interactions but greater phobia towards obesity, whereas higher Openness and higher Agreeableness were generally associated with more positive attitudes and experiences. The associations for Conscientiousness, Openness, and Agreeableness held only for participants at relatively lower body mass index. Higher Neuroticism and lower Conscientiousness were further associated with the experience of weight discrimination. The present research indicates that in addition to measured weight and body image, personality traits are associated with the social experience of body weight.
人格特质一直与体重的客观和主观体验相关联。我们研究这种关联是否延伸到与体重相关的社会态度和行为。参与者是有孩子的母亲（n = 3099），她们完成了人格以及与体重相关的态度和社交互动的测量。较高的神经质和较高的外向性与对肥胖者的更多负面态度以及与朋友和在孩子周围进行“胖语”有关。较高的尽责性与较少的负面态度和互动相关，但对肥胖的恐惧更大，而较高的开放性和较高的宜人性通常与更积极的态度和体验相关。尽责性、开放性和宜人性的关联仅在相对较低体重指数的参与者中成立。较高的神经质和较低的尽责性还与体重歧视的经历相关。本研究表明，除了测量的体重和身体形象外，人格特质还与体重的社会体验相关。
