Abstract
Ideologies and empathy have been the focus of research for their relationship with forms of prejudice. More insight is needed regarding anti-fat attitudes and weight prejudices, specifically. The present study assessed how empathy and three ideologies (authoritarianism, just world beliefs, liberal feminist attitudes) related to different forms of weight prejudice.
