Indirect effect = effect of perceived overweight on uncontrolled eating through weight stigma concerns; Path A = correlation between perceived overweight and weight stigma concerns; Path B = correlation between weight stigma concerns and uncontrolled eating; Path C = effect of perceived overweight on uncontrolled eating when weight stigma concerns are not present in the model; Path C' = correlation between perceived overweight and uncontrolled eating after taking weight stigma concerns into account.
Calculated by repeating analysis of indirect effects on z scores for all continuous variables (age, BMI, neuroticism, perceived weight discrimination, depression, self‐esteem, body dissatisfaction, and physical activity).
Adjusted for variables listed for Study 1, Model 1.
Adjusted for variables listed for Study 1, Model 2, plus self‐esteem, body dissatisfaction, and physical activity.
