Overweight people showed less implicit and explicit bias against obese people than normal and underweight people. Conversely, nations with more overweight people showed a stronger implicit bias against obese people. Cultural weight bias works against social identity factors that promote preferences for oneself and one’s group identities.

Negativity toward fat people is stronger in nations with higher percentages of obesity.

Abstract

Overweight people showed less implicit and explicit bias against obese people than normal and underweight people. Conversely, nations with more overweight people showed a stronger implicit bias against obese people. Cultural weight bias works against social identity factors that promote preferences for oneself and one’s group identities.
