Register to read the introduction… This type of prejudice works with social standards of beauty and usually takes the form of discrimination against the overweight population. Statistically speaking, overweight people marry less often, gain entry to less-desirable jobs, and make less money (Swami & others, 2008).

    People tend to judge and see abominably everything that is strange in humans, Obesity is one of these atypical problems that people commonly judge. “Discrimination at a large” is an article written by Jennifer A. Coleman that stress how she felt about herself and how judges to overweigh people are wrong and damaging as any racial or ethnic slur. On the other hand, the article “O.k., I am fat,” written by Neil Steinberg, says that despite some health problems, being fat is not a dilemma, but thin people usually remind them that is not normal. For me, both articles are much alike in terms of their perspective as being obese, their attitude, and how people ridicule them.…

    In a NY Times article, “Is Fat Stigma Making Us Miserable?”, Emilie Lucchesi talks about the causes of psychological health problems arising not necessarily from the physical characteristic but from the overbearing stigmatization of being overweight in our society. Contrary to popular belief, there exists almost no direct relationship between how much a person weighs and their psychological health welfare; the problem lies, instead, within how people are being treated. She explains that it’s rather “the teasing, judgment and unsolicited advice directed at overweight people that can cause the greatest psychological harm.” The article goes on to introduce Courtney Bailey, a media scholar in popular culture, as she explains that the fat stigma…

    The purpose of this study was to examine if media exposure correlates with an individual’s implicit associations of weight. For the experiment, twenty-six participants completed a survey on media exposure and a weight implicit association test. The results concluded that there was no correlation between the survey and IAT scores. Between survey and IAT scores, media exposure was not correlated with implicit associations. From these results, the weight implicit association test is not measuring an individual’s exposure to media.…

    In the documentary, “Dark Girls”, a character says “when you live so many years with people having certain judgements relative to your skin tone, you start to believe it.” In Asian societies, making your children aware (ex. weight, skin color, and etc.) of their appearance “flaws” throughout their life is accepted. Negative psychological effects of the enforcing of Eurocentric ideals are low self- esteem, bad body image, self-hate, colorism within own race, losing ones’ racial identity, mental health issues (ex. depression, anxiety, and etc.) developing eating disorders. In addition, people of darker than desirable skin may have difficulty finding a partner and job opportunities.…

    In the article, the author claims that children growing up in low-income families tend to have higher rate of obesity, which implies a negative correlation between income and obesity rate. To support his point, the writer used the model built by University of Michigan Health System based on the data from 111,799 Massachusetts students. The model presents that “every 1 percent increasing in low-income status is associated with 1.17 percent increase in rates of obese students”, which strongly advocates the correlation between the two factors: the lower the family’s income is, the higher possibility for the child to be overweight. There are several explanations can help to illustrate this correlation.…

    The population of obese people in Canada is growing exponentially in the recent years. We expect that the number will continue to rise if we don’t do something about it. Obesity affects more people than you may think. One in four adults and one in ten children in Canada are now living with obesity—this means roughly twenty-one million Canadians are affected by this condition (far more than people living with diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, chronic lung disease or cancer). 1.…

    Implicit biases are unconscious tendencies to make judgements in a particular way (Greenwald & Krieger, 2006.) Implicit biases are affected by the attitudes, thoughts, stereotypes and beliefs of an individual and these biases can have important influences on behavior (O’Brein, Latner, Ebneter & Hunter, 2013; Bessenoff & Sherman, 2000.) Weight bias is a form of bias that does not receive as much attention as other types of bias, like race and gender bias, however it does have important consequences on the lives of individuals that are overweight. In the United States more than one third of individuals are considered obese (Flegal, Kruszon-Moran, Carroll, Fryar & Ogden, 2016.) Research has shown that health care professionals often have a…

    Everybody gets discriminated at least once in their lifetime. They get discriminated based on their race, ethnicity, appearance, and other reasons. Sometimes, they don’t know the reason why they get discriminated, but people shouldn’t get discriminated at all. People feel like they get discriminated by their appearance. For example, when I was in nursing school in Virginia, I felt like I was discriminated just because the way I look or just being different or maybe because I was Asian, but I don’t know the exact reason why nobody wanted to talk to me.…

    Obesity refers to a state in which an individual has accumulated excess fats in his or her body tissues to the extent that it might impose adverse health effects to him or her. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention use the body mass index (BMI) to determine a snapshot view of obesity in America. The BMI uses a sliding scale of height and weight to estimate whether an individual may be obese or not. This method isn’t completely accurate because it does not adequately assess individual body fat percentages but it is the most expedient and cost effective means of determining potential obesity.…

    People often judge others because of their weight, but if we look towards reality our weight does not determine our health, so why discriminate. Girls are told they have a pretty face, but they would be prettier if they would skinny. Skinny does not make people pretty, if we let social dictate how we see ourselves we are always going to be unhappy. Women want to look like the girls in the magazine, when the girl on the magazine does not even like the girl on the magazine. As women we let society pick the way we should look like, but we should just learn to accept the beauty of uniqueness.…

    We live in a society where physical appearance makes a huge impact in the workplace and we are judged instantaneously by the way we look, especially when it comes to weight. Weight discrimination is a topic most people don’t like to discuss simply because it’s embarrassing, hurtful and causes emotional distress for the obese individual. Fat shaming and stigmatizing is pervasive amongst children and adults. It’s common to see obese, even slightly overweight individuals often as targets of bias and stigma in every day lives. Women in particular, are susceptible to negative attitudes in multiple domains of living including places of employment, educational institutions, medical facilities, the mass media, and interpersonal relationships.…

    The Effects of Prejudice, Stereotype & Discrimination Sherry H. Priester Psy 301: Social Psychology Dr. Nekita Fuller June 22, 2015 Prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination has existed in our world for a long time.

Because of the different beliefs and social practices that are not considered socially acceptable, people are sometimes discriminated against (Feenstra, 2013).
