WEIGHT‐BASED DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT: PSYCHOLOGICAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS
跨学科综述心理学、法律等领域的实证研究，分析就业中对超重者的偏见程度，探讨现行法律如何界定非法歧视，并为雇主和政策制定者提供实践启示。
This article takes an interdisciplinary approach to the issue of weight‐based discrimination in employment, drawing on diverse literatures (psychology, law, sociology, economics), and integrating a review of empirical research and a traditional legal analysis. First, empirical research that focuses on the extent of bias against overweight individuals in employment contexts is reviewed and evaluated. Second, current legal requirements relevant to weight‐based discrimination in employment are identified and discussed, and those requirements are applied to the research findings to assess the extent to which the weight‐based bias identified in the reviewed studies involves illegal discrimination. Third, based on the results of the review of the research and legal literatures, future research directions are offered and practical implications for employers and policy makers are identified.
