概括
使用中立语言在体重污名化尺度中,例如对肥胖者的态度 (ATOP) 尺度,可以减少污名化的态度. 一个修订后的简要版本 (ATOP-HW) 有效地衡量了对体重较高的人的负面态度.
科学领域:
- 心理学 心理学 心理学
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
- 社会学 社会学 社会学
背景情况:
- 与体重相关的术语可以延续有害的刻板印象和耻辱.
- 现有的衡量体重的标准可能会使用过时或冒犯性的语言.
- 生活经验凸显了对更灵敏,更准确的测量工具的需求.
研究的目的:
- 通过用中性语言取代污名化术语来修订对肥胖者的态度 (ATOP) 尺度.
- 用中立术语评估修改过的ATOP尺度的心理测量特性.
- 开发一种简短,可靠和有效的衡量方法来评估体重歧视的态度.
主要方法:
- 参与者 (N=832) 被随机分配,要么完成原始ATOP,要么使用中性术语 ("更高的重量") 修改版.
- 统计分析,包括t测试和主要组件分析,用于比较尺度得分并确定最佳的因子结构.
- 确认因素分析在第二个样本中验证了拟议的简要,8项单维结构.
主要成果:
- 在原始ATOP得分 (M=69.25) 和修改的ATOP得分 (M=72.85) 之间发现了统计学上显著的差异,效应大小小小 (d=-0.26).
- 主要组件分析表明,修改ATOP (ATOP-HW) 的简短的8项单维版本是最优的.
- 确认因素分析证实了8项ATOP-HW结构的良好合适.
结论:
- 修改后的,简短的ATOP-HW尺度使用中立语言是适合评估对高体重个体的负面态度.
- 与原始ATOP相比,ATOP-HW可能略微低估了体重耻辱,需要仔细解释.

Attitudes
28.4K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination
90.2K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Stereotype Content Model
14.7K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies
37.6K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Regression Toward the Mean
6.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...
