The purpose of the present study was to compare attitudes toward body weight and physical activity in both regular-weight and overweight/obese children and adolescents, and assessing relations between attitudes and self-esteem, motivation for physical activity, life satisfaction and level of physical activity. A total of 126 children (Mage = 12.2, SD = 3.4), divided into two subsamples (i.e., overweight/obese, N = 44, and regular-weight), voluntarily participated in the study. A series of univariate analyses of variance was conducted to examine the differences in the study variables across the subsamples. Correlational analyses were conducted to examine the relationships among the variables. The results indicated that obese/overweight participants expressed a more positive implicit attitude toward the thin category than regular-weight participants. Furthermore, among overweight/obese participants, implicit attitude toward physical activity was significantly negatively correlated with explicit attitude toward physical activity and general self-esteem. Significant differences between obese/overweight and regular-weight participants indicated that the status in terms of weight played a key role in attitudes toward the explored constructs.
本研究的目的是比较正常体重和超重/肥胖儿童及青少年对体重和体育活动的态度，并评估态度与自尊、体育活动动机、生活满意度及体育活动水平之间的关系。共有126名儿童（平均年龄=12.2岁，标准差=3.4），分为两个子样本（即超重/肥胖组，N=44，和正常体重组），自愿参与本研究。进行了一系列单因素方差分析，以检验各子样本在研究变量上的差异。进行了相关分析，以检验变量之间的关系。结果表明，肥胖/超重参与者对瘦体型表达了比正常体重参与者更积极的内隐态度。此外，在超重/肥胖参与者中，对体育活动的内隐态度与对体育活动的外显态度及总体自尊显著负相关。肥胖/超重参与者与正常体重参与者之间的显著差异表明，体重状况在对所探究构念的态度中起关键作用。
