Weighing the Evidence: Likability and Trait Attributions of a Peer as a Function of Behavioral Characteristics, Body Weight, and Sex.
Cohen, Robert; And Others
Child Study Journal, v27 n1 p69-94 Mar 1997
Used vignettes to investigate children's integration of information on behavior, body weight, and sex when forming peer impressions. Found that positively behaving peers were liked more and attributed more positive traits than negatively behaving peers. Also found that boys, but not girls, believed that peers would evaluate average weight, negatively behaving peers more favorably than overweight, negatively behaving peers. (KB)
