A woman s body shape not only the amount of fat is what drives stigma associated with overweight and obesity.
Fat stigma is a socially acceptable form of prejudice that contributes to poor medical outcomes and negatively affects educational and economic opportunities.

The work will be published on February 17 in Social Psychology and Personality Science.
