Weight-Related Terms Differentially Affect Self-Efficacy and Perception of Obesity
Authors & Journal
Obesity
Objective
Little work has explored the effect of weight-related terms on treatment initiation; only one study has investigated weight-related terms and the psychological constructs associated with treatment uptake. The present study examines the effects of four common weight-related terms on treatment initiation and the moderating effect of weight bias internalization.
