Comparing stigmatizing attitudes toward anorexia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder, and subthreshold eating behaviors in college students.

Objective: The relative stigmatization of various eating disorders (ED) remains understudied, and there is no research examining stigma toward avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) or adult picky eating. The present study examined the relative stigmatization of various EDs and the subthreshold eating behaviors that are risk factors for their development, and the relation of gender differences to stigma.

Method: A sample of 1147 college students was recruited and completed the study online.

Associations between husbands' weight bias and related concerns and husbands' and wives' psychological and relationship outcomes.

The study examines married men's weight stigma, internalized weight bias (IWB) and other weight-related concerns/criticisms directed toward their wife, their perceptions of their wife as an ideal mate, and husbands' and wives' psychological distress and relationship satisfaction. The sample consisted of 209 married men and women in a heterosexual relationship. Participants were drawn from an online survey platform (Qualtrics, Provo, UT) that approximated the US population on age, race, and region of the country.
