JUDGMENTS ABOUT WOMEN&rsquo;S BODIES AS A FUNCTION OF RACE AND GENDER<br />
</strong>JOHN HULL, DEBRA HULL (BETHANY COLLEGE), AZARIA DAVIS (SMITH COLLEGE)<br />
Undergraduates rated pictures of women in magazines geared primarily toward Black, White, or Latina women for body size, femininity, strength, and attractiveness. Neither participant gender nor race interacted with ratings. Black women were seen as bigger and stronger than White women, but equally attractive and feminine. Latina women were seen as smallest, weakest, and most attractive. Findings suggest that Black women can provide a healthier cultural counterpoint to the hyper-White ideal for women&rsquo;s bodies.<br />

WEIGHT-RELATED STEREOTYPES IN THE WORKPLACE: IMPLICATIONS FOR JOB ATTITUDES AND EFFICACY<br />
</strong>JESSICA CARLSON, JASON SEACAT (WESTERN NEW ENGLAND UNIVERSITY)<br />
Weight discrimination harms overweight/obese employees and is well documented in the workplace. Less clear are the consequences of exposure to negative weight-related stereotypes on obese employees. Using a vignette methodology, 200 male and female obese and normal weight university faculty and staff were experimentally tested. Overall, obese employees primed to think about their weight status reported lower levels of job satisfaction and organizational commitment, but not job efficacy, compared to normal weight employees.<br />

WHEN DIETING DOESN&rsquo;T WORK: PREDICTING SNACK INTAKE AND BMI FROM EATING TRAITS<br />
</strong>LINDSAY MORTON (MARYWOOD UNIVERSITY)<br />
Overconsumption drives overweight and obesity problems in the United States. College women (N = 245) provided self-reports of eating traits, which were evaluated for their ability to uniquely predict food intake on a taste test and body mass index. A history of weight fluctuations and a focus on dieting behavior appear to be risk factors in this relationship. Policies and interventions may be able to target these variables, yet limitations necessitate future research.</span>
