Kids Biased Against Overweight Peers, Study Finds

CBS Local– Irrespective of whether children are being overtly mean to fellow kids that are overweight, they’re also subconsciously implicitly biased against them, according to a study posted in the journal Pediatrics.
The study, which analysed the behaviors of 114 kids, was conducted using a method known as Affect Misattribution Procedure. Lead researcher of the study, Dr. Asheley Skinner, said this method has not been used prior to this study on this particular topic.
