Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Experimental (Weight Stigma) ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants undergoing the experimental (Weight Stigma) arm are exposed to an interaction partner (a trained confederate) who endorses anti-fat attitudes. Prior to their interaction, participants exchange a "Getting to Know You Questionnaire" with the confederate, where the confederate endorses anti-fat attitudes. During their interaction with the confederate, participants are told they will be completing consumer rating tasks with another participant in the study. During the ostensible consumer rating task, participants in the experimental condition rate items such as a diet magazine, body sunscreen, running shoes, and a size small T-shirt labeled as size large to bolster the weight stigma manipulation.
Group II: Control ArmActive Control1 Intervention
Participants undergoing the control arm are also exposed to an interaction partner (a trained confederate) who does not endorse anti-fat attitudes. Prior to their interaction, participants exchange a "Getting to Know You Questionnaire" with the confederate; however, the confederate does not endorse anti-fat attitudes. During their interaction with the confederate, participants are told they will be completing consumer rating tasks with another participant in the study. During the ostensible consumer rating task, participants in the control condition rate items such as an interior design magazine, face sunscreen, regular (non-running) shoes, and a size large T-shirt correctly labeled as size large to avoid weight stigma.
