[Impact of weight-related discrimination on eating disorder and general psychopathology in children and adolescents with and without migration background].
Psychotherapie, Psychosomatik, Medizinische Psychologie 2010 September
Children and adolescents, especially those of higher weight, often suffer from perceived weight-related discrimination. Goal of the present study is to examine the association between weight-related teasing and eating disorder as well as general psychopathology in a sample of 367 normal- and overweight students with and without migration background. Results show that youth with and without migration background did not differ in frequency of weight-related teasing-experiences. Frequently teased youth reported increased psychopathology, independent of migration background. Additionally, weight-related teasing could be identified as a mediator between weight status and disorderd eating as well as a predictor for depressiveness. Findings emphasize the need to take weight-related teasing into consideration in prevention and therapy.
