Weight stigma is a prevalent issue that has detrimental effects on health for both adolescents and parents. Adolescents are in a formative stage of life, so it is important to understand how parents may impact adolescents’ own experience with weight stigma. Past research has examined adolescent coping, body image, and associated stigma in the context of the parent-child relationship. This cross-sectional study examined self-reported weight stigma experience and internalization within 42 parent/adolescent dyads to provide greater understanding of how adolescents and parents are experiencing and internalizing weight stigma independently and transversely.
