You Exercise Less When You Think Life Isn't Fair

The 'Why Try' Effect Gets in the Way of Weight Loss

People who have been the target of weight discrimination-and who believe 
the practice is widespread-are more likely to give up on exercise than to 
try to lose weight, according to a new study published in Health 
Psychology.

.

The online study of more than 800 Americans specifically looked at whether 
participants believed in "a just world," or in this case, the belief that 
their positive actions will lead to good results. People who experienced 
weight bias in the past and didn't believe in a just world were more 
likely to say they didn't plan to exercise than those who did believe the 
world is just.

Experiencing discrimination leads some people to adopt a pessimistic view 
of the world, and they accept negative stereotypes about themselves, 
including the belief that they're lazy, said study author Rebecca Pearl.

Because believing in a just world is key to losing weight, Pearl said that 
legislation and other public policy efforts could act as a buffer against 
loss of sense of fairness.
