There are significant differences between boys and girls; social stigmatization affects girls more, due to the internalization of beauty and body image canons based on thinness. An association was found between academic performance and bullying, self-stigma, and social stigma.Conclusion Overweight/obese children are more likely to be stigmatized, to be bullied physically rather than relationally, and to be bullied and victimized by their normal weight peers. The acquired stigma derives from a socioculturally penalized image that has consequences on the psychological development of children who are forming their personality and values. It is necessary to propose specific preventive interventions in the school environment to face the consequences of social stigma and improve the development of body image. 2025 reseña 2665-2056 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=673282308021 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6732/673282308021/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6732/673282308021/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6732/673282308021/673282308021.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6732/673282308021/movil 10.46634/riics.268 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6732 Revista de Investigación e Innovación en Ciencias de la Salud application/pdf Fundación Universitaria María Cano Revista de Investigación e Innovación en Ciencias de la Salud (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.7 |
