Extant research has investigated the relationship between body weight and suicidality because obesity is highly stigmatized, leading to social marginalization and discrimination, yet has produced mixed results. Scholars have speculated that factors associated with body weight, such as weight discrimination, may better predict suicidality than body weight itself. We consider this possibility among a sample of 12,057 adult participants ages 33 to 43 in Wave V of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health through investigation of the relationships between weight discrimination and two dimensions of suicidality-suicide ideation and attempts. We also examine gender as a moderator of these relationships. We find that weight discrimination is positively associated with both suicide ideation and attempts, and this relationship is similar among men and women. Our findings underscore the need to address issues of weight discrimination in our society to better promote mental well-being.

歧视的心理“重量”：美国感知的人际重量歧视与自杀之间的关系。

现有研究调查了体重与自杀之间的关系，因为肥胖被高度污名化，导致社会边缘化和歧视，但得出的结果好坏参半。学者们推测，与体重相关的因素，例如体重歧视，可能比体重本身更好地预测自杀倾向。我们通过调查体重歧视与自杀意念和自杀企图两个维度之间的关系，在国家青少年至成人健康纵向研究第五波中的 12,057 名 33 至 43 岁成年参与者样本中考虑了这种可能性。我们还研究了性别作为这些关系的调节因素。我们发现体重歧视与自杀意念和自杀企图呈正相关，而且这种关系在男性和女性中相似。我们的研究结果强调需要解决社会中的体重歧视问题，以更好地促进心理健康。
