Research on weight-bias against men and/or in the military is scarce. Such a bias might cause some military members, who are otherwise fit to perform their duties, to suffer from discrimination and undue stress. We showed military personnel a picture of a soldier who had either normal weight or overweight. In both conditions, the description of the soldier stated that his physical fitness and job-related skills were good. Nonetheless, the soldier's suitability for promotion was rated lower in the overweight condition. These findings improve our understanding of the impact of bias on the mental and physical health of men with overweight.
针对男性和/或军队中体重偏见的研究很少。这种偏见可能会导致一些原本适合履行职责的军人遭受歧视和过度压力。我们向军事人员展示了一名体重正常或超重的士兵的照片。在这两种情况下，对该士兵的描述都表明他的身体素质和与工作相关的技能都很好。尽管如此，在超重情况下，该士兵晋升的适宜性得分较低。这些发现增进了我们对偏见对超重男性身心健康影响的理解。
