Abstract

PurposeTo explore the relationships between weight status, weight perceptions, and perceptions of the body positivity movement on social media.DesignCross-sectional.SettingOnline through the Qualtrics platform.SubjectsParticipants (N = 521; mean 26.6 ± 5.1 years) were recruited using Qualtrics online panels.MeasuresThe study survey included questions about participant demographics, weight status, and weight perception. Subjects rated 6 study-specific viewpoint questions about the body positivity movement on a 5pt Likert scale.AnalysisMultinomial logistic regression models adjusted for relevant confounders assessed the associations between objective weight status, perceived weight status, and perceptions of the body positivity movement.ResultsObjective weight status was not associated with perceptions of the body positivity movement. Perceptions of weight status were associated with perceptions of the body positivity movement in young women, with those that perceived themselves as overweight more likely (OR = 1.67, P < 0.05) to disagree with the statement that “the body positivity makes people less likely to lose weight.”. However, young women that perceived themselves as having a lower weight status were less likely (OR = 0.54, P < 0.05) to agree with the statement that “the body positivity movement empowered women” as well as “being inclusive of people of all sizes” (OR = 0.56, P < 0.05).ConclusionWeight perception, rather than objective weight status, may be a stronger predictor of weight bias and views of the body positivity movement.

体重感知和体重状况与对 "身体积极性运动 "的感知之间的关系
目的探讨体重状况、体重认知和对社交媒体上身体积极性运动的认知之间的关系.设计横断面.设置通过 Qualtrics 平台在线招募受试者(N = 521;平均 26.6 ± 5.1 岁).措施研究调查包括有关受试者人口统计学、体重状况和体重认知的问题。受试者用 5 点李克特量表对有关身体积极性运动的 6 个特定研究观点问题进行评分。结果客观体重状况与身体积极性运动的看法无关。认为自己超重的年轻女性更有可能(OR = 1.67,P < 0.05)不同意 "身体积极性使人们更不可能减肥 "这一说法。然而,认为自己体重较轻的年轻女性不太可能(OR = 0.54,P < 0.05)同意 "身体积极性运动赋予女性权力 "以及 "包容各种体型的人 "的说法(OR = 0.56,P < 0.05)。
