Thesis (M.S.)--Michigan State University, 1994.

Obese people are stigmatized, and this stigmatization is most detrimental in adolescence. To learn more about how obesity is stigmatized at this time, 66 youth (17 boys and 49 girls) of various weight ranges, ages 11-15 years, participated in interviews. Participants responded to open-ended questions about their perceptions of obesity regarding weight loss, friendship and popularity. Interviews were audiotaped and transcribed; statements were coded and theoretically categorized. Results indicated youths' perception of acceptable weight is influenced primarily by the media and peers. Some overweight peers were stigmatized, but others were not, apparently due to their friendships and popularity through sports. A conceptual model was developed of the process of stigmatization and nonstigmatization of obese youth. Additionally, results will be used to develop (1) a quantitative survey to measure stigmatization and (2) an intervention program to help overweight youth cope with stigmatization.Subjects--Topical Terms:
