Two sides of weight bias in adolescent binge-eating disorder: Adolescents' perceptions and maternal attitudes.

Adolescents with binge-eating disorder (BED) are suffering from weight teasing and, as found in adult BED, are likely to internalize weight bias. Weight teasing by mothers accounts for psychopathology in overweight (OW), but stigmatization sources are largely unknown in BED. This study sought to address weight bias in adolescents with OW and BED by examining adolescents' perceived parental weight teasing and weight bias internalization in relation to their eating disorder psychopathology and maternal stigmatizing attitudes and beliefs.
