Sažetak
On the sample of 363 female university students we examined the effects of Big Five personality traits, contacts with obese persons and interaction between traits and contacts on attitude about the obese and beliefs about the causes of obesity (psychological, medical and behavioral). The results showed that participants higher on BMI, agreeableness and with more contacts have more positive attitude toward obese persons. Also, contacts with the obese moderated the relationship between conscientiousness and attitude, with participants higher on conscientiousness and with more contacts having more positive attitude. Furthermore, participants higher on neuroticism attributed causes of obesity more to the psychological, while those higher on BMI more to the medical causes. Contacts moderated the relationship between agreeableness and psychological causes.
