Abstract
Obesity is extensively studied through biological and behavioral perspectives. A social-psychological factor, weight-related stigma, has long been neglected. In this study, we tested the effect of a values-affirmation intervention aiming to alleviate psychological threat and found it to be beneficial for overweight female college students in a two-year period.
