Researchers have examined body size stigmatization attitudes in preschool-age children; however, these studies are limited in number and have used samples of White preschool-age children of middle-socioeconomic status. The current study extended the literature by examining body size stigmatization attitudes, their effect on friendship selection, and controllability beliefs for a sample of Black preschool-age children of low-socioeconomic status. Participants included 76 preschool-age children attending Head Start, who ranged in age from 3 years, 9 months to 5 years, 11 months. Across the three tasks, results from the current study were consistent with previous research. First, on the Adjective Task, Black preschool-age children assigned ratings that were more negative to an Overweight figure than to an Average figure or to an Underweight figures. Second, on the Friendship Selection Task, Black preschool-age children demonstrated a preference for Average or Underweight figures as playmates, friends, and as best friends. Third, on the Controllability Task, Black preschool-age children attributed a greater amount of controllability to an Overweight figure than to an Underweight figure. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
