The objective of this research was to analyze the implicit and explicit attitudes toward obesity in physical education teachers and students. Eighteen teachers and 45 students completed four questionnaires: the Implicit Association Test (IAT), which evaluates stereotypes and spontaneous cognitive associations through categorizations; The Crandall questionnaire for the evaluation of explicit prejudice about obesity; The Social Dominance Orientation Scale (SDO); And the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire - short version (PSDQ-s). Both groups reported significant prejudice (p <0.05), evidenced by the mean values recorded by the IAT. Teachers reported significantly higher values on implicit prejudice and lower values on SDO compared to students. Social Dominance Orientation proved to be a key variable in the presence of prejudice. This study may be a starting point for future research focused on reducing prejudice through specific intervention protocols.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to analyze the implicit and explicit attitudes toward obesity in physical education teachers and students. Eighteen teachers and 45 students completed four questionnaires: the Implicit Association Test (IAT), which evaluates stereotypes and spontaneous cognitive associations through categorizations; The Crandall questionnaire for the evaluation of explicit prejudice about obesity; The Social Dominance Orientation Scale (SDO); And the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire - short version (PSDQ-s). Both groups reported significant prejudice (p <0.05), evidenced by the mean values recorded by the IAT. Teachers reported significantly higher values on implicit prejudice and lower values on SDO compared to students. Social Dominance Orientation proved to be a key variable in the presence of prejudice. This study may be a starting point for future research focused on reducing prejudice through specific intervention protocols.
