dc.description.abstractObjectiveGrowing evidence suggests highly processed foods may trigger an addictive‐like process, which is associated with obesity. Other research suggests an addictive‐like process occurs in response to eating itself, rather than specific foods. Addiction‐based obesity explanations raise concerns about double stigmatization of people with obesity and addiction. This study compared effects of obesity framings on external and internalized weight stigma.MethodsThe study was preregistered via Open Science Framework. Four hundred and forty‐seven adults read an informational passage that described food addiction, eating addiction, or calorie balance explanations for obesity or a control passage about memory. Participants then completed external and internalized weight stigma measures.ResultsParticipants in the food addiction condition reported higher internalized weight stigma compared with those in the control condition. Obesity framing did not significantly affect external weight stigma compared with the control.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that food addiction explanations for obesity may elicit greater internalized weight stigma than non‐obesity‐related messages. Addiction‐based and traditional obesity explanations do not appear to influence external weight stigma. Illuminating the effects of obesity framing on stigma will help researchers communicate discoveries in ways that mitigate stigma.
