BACKGROUND
Romantic relationships are primary sources of mental well-being, including life satisfaction. Stigma not only has adverse effects on individual mental well-being but also negatively affects relationship functioning. The purpose of this dyadic, cross-sectional study was to examine the associations between internalized, anticipated, and experienced weight stigma and mental well-being among people in romantic relationships and their partners.
METHOD
Prolific, an online crowdsourcing platform, was used to recruit 287 couples in long-term relationships who resided in the United States. Participants completed measures of internalized weight stigma, anticipated weight stigma, experienced weight stigma, and mental well-being. Actor-partner interdependence models estimated the associations between participants' weight stigma and their own mental well-being (actor effect) and the mental well-being of their romantic partners (partner effect).
RESULTS
As expected, significant negative associations were observed between participants' internalized, anticipated, and experienced weight stigma and their own mental well-being; these actor effects had small to medium effect sizes. Significant negative associations were also observed between participants' internalized and anticipated weight stigma and their partners' mental well-being; these partner effects had small effect sizes. Unexpectedly, a significant partner effect was not observed for experienced weight stigma.
CONCLUSIONS
Weight stigma is negatively associated with individual mental well-being as well as the mental well-being of romantic partners. Future research is needed to replicate and expand these findings and examine internalized and anticipated weight stigma as potential mechanisms through which experienced weight stigma may affect mental well-being among people in romantic relationships and their partners.
背景
浪漫关系是包括生活满意度在内的心理健康的主要来源。污名化不仅会对个体心理健康产生不利影响，还会对人际关系功能产生负面影响。这项二元横断面研究的目的是检验内化的、预期的和经历的体重污名与恋爱关系中的人及其伴侣的心理健康之间的关联。
方法
利用在线众包平台Prolific招募了287对居住在美国的长期恋爱关系情侣。参与者完成了内化体重污名、预期体重污名、经历的体重污名和心理健康的测量。行为者-伴侣相互依赖模型估计了参与者的体重污名与他们自己的心理健康（行为者效应）以及他们浪漫伴侣的心理健康（伴侣效应）之间的关联。
结果
正如预期的那样，观察到参与者内化的、预期的和经历的体重污名与他们自己的心理健康之间存在显著的负相关；这些行为者效应的效应大小为小到中等。还观察到参与者内化的和预期的体重污名与他们伴侣的心理健康之间存在显著的负相关；这些伴侣效应的效应大小较小。出乎意料的是，对于经历的体重污名，未观察到显著的伴侣效应。
结论
体重污名与个体心理健康以及浪漫伴侣的心理健康呈负相关。未来需要进行研究以复制和扩展这些发现，并检验内化的和预期的体重污名作为经历的体重污名可能影响恋爱关系中的人及其伴侣心理健康的潜在机制。
