发表在《肥胖》杂志上的一项新研究发现,肥胖者不仅受到侮辱,而且被公然视为非人(dehumanised)。
肥胖现在在大多数发达国家很常见。大约三分之一的美国成年人和四分之一的英国成年人在医学上被定义为肥胖。然而,肥胖是一种由遗传、环境和社会因素驱动的复杂疾病(obesity is a complex medical condition driven by genetic, environmental and social factors)。
先前的研究表明,人们经常对肥胖持有歧视和偏见的观点。
这项在利物浦大学进行的最新研究,由英格·克斯伯格博士和埃里克·罗宾逊博士领导,研究了对肥胖的污蔑是否比先前所显示的更极端。这项研究调查了人们是否相信肥胖的人比不肥胖的人进化得更少,更不是人(individuals with obesity are less evolved and human than those without obesity)。
肥胖是一个由贫穷和重要的遗传、心理和环境因素驱动的复杂问题(Obesity is a complex problem driven by poverty and with significant genetic, psychological and environmental components.)。
谢菲尔德大学研究员的英格·克斯伯格说:“我们的研究结果扩展了以往关于肥胖耻辱的文献,表明肥胖者不仅不受欢迎并受羞辱,而且被明确认为比那些没有肥胖的人更不是人。事实上,非人化水平预示着支持歧视肥胖者的政策,这表明非人化可能会助长进一步的偏见。(Our results expand on previous literature on obesity stigma by showing that people with obesity are not only disliked and stigmatised, but are explicitly considered to be less human than those without obesity. The fact that levels of dehumanisation were predictive of support for policies that discriminate against people with obesity suggests that dehumanisation may be facilitating further prejudice.)”
