摘要：

Weight stigma is commonly studied in Western countries rather than in Asian ones. To further explore how internalized weight stigma mediates the relationship between perceived weight stigma and the changes in body mass index (BMI), the study collected data through a longitudinal online survey with two phases by applying the Perceived Weight Stigma Scale (PWSS), Weight Self-Stigma Questionnaire (WSSQ) and Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale − 21 (DASS-21) to assess perceived weight stigma, internalized weight stigma, and psychological distress. The changes in perceived and internalized weight stigma were significantly and positively associated with changes in BMI. There were significantly positive associations between perceived weight stigma, internalized weight stigma, and psychological distress over time. Based on the findings, treatment strategies to alleviate self-stigma may enhance the results of weight-reduction programs and should be considered for inclusion in weight-loss interventions.
