摘要：Obesity represents a serious health issue affecting millions of people in Western industrialized countries. The severity of the medical problems it causes is paralleled by the fact that obesity has become a social stigma, as in many cases it brings rejection and discrimination to the people who suffer it. Our study, in which 95 members of Spanish obesity associations participated, focused speci􀃀cally on how group identi􀃀cation (Group Identi􀃀cation Scale), one of the strategies according to the Rejection-Identi􀃀cation Model that people have to deal with discrimination (Obesity-Related Problems Scale), is related to psychological health (Self-esteem, Life Satisfaction and Depression scales) in an obese sample. It was shown that discrimination is negatively linked with psychological health (low self-esteem and life satisfaction, and high depression) while group identi􀃀cation is positively correlated with psychological health (high self-esteem and life satisfaction, and low depression). Finally, the Rejection-Identi􀃀cation Model is tested with the obese sample.
