Do Weight Attitudes Promote Orthorexic Responses to Weight Discrimination?
Subject Area: Social
Experiencing discrimination can affect subsequent health behaviors, such as healthy eating (Brodish et al., 2011). In the present study, experiencing weight discrimination predicted orthorexia nervosa symptomatology. These effects were strongest when participants held more weight controllability beliefs and explicit weight prejudice.
