Résumé : Integrating a dehumanization perspective with the literature on stereotyping of obesity, thispaper investigated whether obese people are implicitly categorized as animals rather thanhumans. Sixty participants were asked to complete an Implicit Association Test in which theyhad to associate images of thin and obese faces with animal or human characteristics. Aspredicted, people were more likely to categorize images of obese faces as animal-like andthis tendency was more acute amongst thinner participants. Implications of our results forfuture on research on dehumanization and negative stereotyping of obesity are discussed.
