摘要
The study investigated the peer acceptance of obese preschool children compared to their average-weight peers within the school setting. Two groups of obese (n = 28) and average (n = 63) 5-year olds were compared. Children and their classmates provided ratings of peer acceptance (a sociometric status measure and a best-friend nomination task) and behavioural reputation. Compared to their average-weight peers, obese children received less best-friend nominations, had less reciprocal friendships and were rated as less cooperative, agreeable and attractive and more lonely and teased. The implications of the findings are discussed.
