Information:

The Fat Phobia scale is a 14 item questionnaire regarding beliefs and feelings towards people who are fat or obese.

Items are scored on a 1-5 scale. Add up the score for each item to get the total score. Then divide by 14

High scores = more “fat phobia”. Low scores = less “fat phobia”.
