Results also revealed that persons who are overweight or obese have a physique that others view unfavorably while extremely thin persons are viewed only slightly unfavorably.…”

“…While much of this research has been concerned with the health and psychological impact of overweight persons, researchers have also found body type preferences in subjects viewing both the same gender and opposite gender examples. Results indicated that persons who were overweight or obese had a physique viewed unfavorably by evaluators, while extremely thin persons were considered only slightly unfavorably by evaluators (Lemer & Kom, 1972;Scodel, 1957;Staffieri, 1967;Wiggins, Wiggins, & Conger, 1968).…”

“…The psychological issue under investigation is what features of the female figure determine attractiveness (Fallon & Rozin, 1985;Singh, 1993;Wiggins, Wiggins, & Conger, 1968).
