Funded Activity Summary

The stress of obesity stigma: Testing a model of risk and resilience. This project seeks to advance theoretical knowledge about obesity stigma (and stigma more generally), and also to provide novel insights into ways to help obese people cope with stigma. Obese people frequently experience stigma in their everyday lives, but little is known about why, when, and for whom obesity stigma is likely to have the most negative consequences. The aim of this project is to use sophisticated methodological approaches to test a model of risk and resilience related to obesity stigma which predicts that characteristics of the person (such as past experiences with stigma) and characteristics of the situation (such as who the perpetrator is) determine how people respond to stigmatising experiences. The model tested in this project may help identify ways to reduce the negative impact of obesity stigma, which would have important social and health benefits.
