Fat microaggressions are microlevel social practices in the form of commonplace everyday indignities that insult fat people and have been documented anecdotally and qualitatively. However, no psychometrically validated scale exists for measuring fat microaggressions, despite decades of microaggression research demonstrating their negative health associations. This research describes the development and construct validation of the Fat Microaggressions Scale across four studies. Study 1 focused on item development through a systematic review, qualitative analysis of Tweets using #fatmicroaggressions, and a Delphi review. Study 2 ( = 343) determined that a four-factor structure was appropriate in an online community sample of fat adults. Study 3 ( = 410) confirmed the factor structure in a new online sample of fat adults and provided initial evidence of construct validity. Study 4 ( = 197) found evidence of test-retest reliability and demonstrated additional construct validity. Our findings offer a newly validated quantitative measure of fat microaggressions and an initial framework for naming and categorizing these experiences, which may be used to advance the study of fat microaggressions.

肥胖微侵犯是以日常常见的侮辱胖人的无礼行为为形式的微观层面的社会行为，这些行为已经被轶事和定性地记录下来。然而，尽管数十年来的微侵犯研究表明它们与健康的负面关联，但仍没有经过心理测量验证的量表来衡量肥胖微侵犯。本研究通过四项研究描述了肥胖微侵犯量表的开发和结构验证。研究 1 通过系统综述、使用#fatmicroaggressions 的推文的定性分析和德尔菲审查，专注于项目开发。研究 2（n = 343）在肥胖成年人的在线社区样本中确定了一个四因素结构是合适的。研究 3（n = 410）在新的肥胖成年人在线样本中验证了该因素结构，并提供了初步的结构效度证据。研究 4（n = 197）发现了测试-重测信度的证据，并证明了额外的结构效度。我们的研究结果提供了一种新的经过验证的肥胖微侵犯的定量衡量方法，并为这些经验提供了一个初步的命名和分类框架，这可能有助于推进肥胖微侵犯的研究。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
