Resumen
En el presente trabajo se examinaron las ideas de estudiantes de la Escuela Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) procedentes de los cuatro grados escolares (N = 348) sobre las causas de la obesidad, así como las actitudes que guardan hacia la misma. Para recabar las ideas y actitudes de los participantes se utilizaron dos instrumentos diseñados ex profeso. Los resultados obtenidos con el cuestionario Creencias sobre las Causas de la Obesidad indican que los participantes tienden a ponderar factores como la voluntad por sobre los genéticos, ejercicio, etc., F(4.689, 1627.115) = 108.691, p < .001. Dicho resultado, asimismo, indica que para los participantes las personas que padecen obesidad son responsables de su condición, t(347) = -6.936, p < .001. Por otra parte, los resultados obtenidos en el cuestionario Actitudes hacia la Obesidad Infantil mostraron que los participantes tienden a estar en desacuerdo (84,84%) en atribuirles características negativas a los niños que padecen obesidad y solo un 35.25% está de acuerdo en atribuirles características positivas. Por último, se examina el papel de la educación formal en las ideas que sostienen los participantes acerca de las causas y las actitudes hacia la obesidad.
