User talk:Lilyhuang1/Impact of body shaming

As part of physical humiliation, studies have shown that the first year of college is the year when most students gain weight rapidly, and obese students (regardless of gender) are more likely to suffer from depression than normal-weight students, and more difficult than others Make friends and maintain friendships. The study was conducted at Arizona State University and involved more than 1,000 freshmen living in school dormitories. Their data collection is (social impact of college physical activity and nutrition). Their data comes from observing the changes in weight of these students during a school year, their relationship with others, and the relationship between exercise and diet. The experiment is divided into four stages. In this experiment, the change in body weight was judged by BMI. More than 1,000 students participated in the experiment, and only 300 students participated in the complete four stages. The test data shows the effect of the interaction of friendship, gender, and body size on the level of depression, but the effect is not obvious. Data on variables that predict depression levels indicate that higher body shame consistently predicts more depressive symptoms throughout the school year. The results of all stages of the experiment show that overweight students are more likely to have depression tendencies. Of course, it is not that there are no other variables that affect the results, such as weight gain and the degree of emphasis on weight. It turns out that gender has not become a major factor, and students who have body shaming are even less likely to seek and maintain the friendship. Because this research was conducted in the university dormitory, more observations were made for all students. The researchers found that in addition to weight shaming, larger students also felt more body shame and depression, which is why they came to campus. For freshmen, high weight prevents some friendships, so they are more likely to have emotions, and this effect may last until graduation. This study shows that eating disorders may be a major factor in the weight gain of first-year students, so preventing the disordered diet can help reduce the weight gain and depression complications of first-year students. With the development of the Internet, posting as much content about the weight management of new teenagers on the Internet will help reduce everyone's body shame and psychological pressure. Reducing psychological stress can help people with higher weights. "Fat shaming is harmful to health and may drive weight gain, said presenters at the Canadian Obesity Summit, recently held in Ottawa" (Vogel, 2019). Concordia University professor Alberga pointed out that when people feel the pressure from the weight, more likely to lose self-control and increase the risk of binge eating. So people not only become depressed because of body shame, but they may also gain weight. Weight gain is very harmful to the human body, such as heart disease and stroke, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, etc., and these diseases cause premature death and severe disability
