This study investigated associations of exposure to Fernando Botero's artwork with fatphobia. Using two 2 × 2 designs, participants were exposed to Botero's work and paintings with nudity. Implicit bias was measured using an Implicit Association Test, while explicit bias was assessed with the Fatphobia scale. Results showed that exposure to Botero's art was associated with reduced implicit bias against people with obesity, but had no association with explicit fatphobia. Nudity in art showed no association with either implicit or explicit biases, and no interaction effects were found. The study concludes that Botero's art could be leveraged through various means to combat fatphobia and promote inclusivity, highlighting the potential of art to influence societal attitudes towards body size.

接触 Fernando Botero 的艺术与较低的对肥胖者的隐性偏见有关


本研究调查了接触 Fernando Botero 的作品与肥胖恐惧症的关联。使用两个 2 × 2 设计，参与者接触到了 Botero 的作品和裸体绘画。隐性偏倚使用内隐关联测试进行测量，而显性偏倚使用肥胖恐惧症量表进行评估。结果表明，接触 Botero 的艺术与减少对肥胖者的隐性偏见有关，但与明确的肥胖恐惧症无关。艺术中的裸体与隐性或显性偏见没有关联，也没有发现交互效应。该研究得出的结论是，可以通过各种方式利用博特罗的艺术来对抗肥胖恐惧症并促进包容性，突出了艺术影响社会对体型态度的潜力。
