Weight stigma among physical educators Current LectureShe was a figure skater as a child and love competition and performing. Eventually, she started to choke on performances and became interested in sports psychology. Wanted to also get involved in eat and body of athletes because being a figure skater your figure is important. She has a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Exercise Science from Bowling Green State University. Got a M.S. in Sports Studies from Miami University in Ohio. Got a Ph.D. from University of NorthCarolina in Greensboro. The USOC is an elite performance private company for potential Olympic athletes. Her role was to interview the athletes who metaled versus those who did not to decide if there were any themes to why those athletes did not metal. A common theme was family issues and them having to devote their attention to them at a competition. Body image is how you perceive yourself. At this point, she switched her focus from competitionto the body and eating habits. Self-objectification theory is making a person more of a body rather than an individual.

Many over weight people have a stereotype of lazy, over eating, and unmotivated even though no data has concluded that that isaccurate. This is an example of discrimination. Having these types of negative beliefs can be detrimental to the change and success of these people. It is important to realize that not everyone is in control of the weight of a body. She studied students and how they perceived their common “fat” classmates versus their “skinny” classmates. Perception of weight had a direct correlation. Students were giving a scale of different sized people of both male and female and ask multiple weight related questions. Who is skinny/fit/fat/obese etc. Then questions were asked like slow and lazy and again the results were direct with weight. Commonly, physical educators endorse anti-fat attitudes. Though, the expectancy theory says that teachers have an initial impression of a student that will effect how they treat the student. With pre-health professionals, she studied weight-related terminology. What kinds of words are used to discuss weight? Words like weight, high BMI, unhealthy weight were acceptable, whereas, chubby, fat, and obese were not. On a scale of motivation, most of the words were at a similar level.
