Az elhĂzással kapcsolatos attitűd mĂ©rĂ©se gyermekkorban : A Közös TevĂ©kenysĂ©gek KĂ©rdĹ‘Ăv magyar változatának pszichometriai sajátságai = Measurement of the attitude towards obesity in childhood. Psychometric properties of the Hungarian version of the Shared Activities Questionnaire
Háttér:
A nyugati kultĂşrában negatĂv attitűdök kapcsolĂłdnak az elhĂzáshoz. Az elhĂzással kapcsolatos elĹ‘ĂtĂ©letek már ĂłvodáskortĂłl kezdĹ‘dĹ‘en kimutathatĂłk. A negatĂv elĹ‘ĂtĂ©let Ă©s diszkrimináciĂł káros hatást gyakorolhat az elhĂzott gyermekek Ă©s serdĂĽlĹ‘k mentális Ă©s testi egĂ©szsĂ©gĂ©re. A stigmatizáciĂł tĂpusának Ă©s mĂ©rtĂ©kĂ©nek felmĂ©rĂ©se kulcsfontosságĂş lehet a megfelelĹ‘ intervenciĂłs programok kidolgozása szempontjábĂłl.
Célkitűzés:
A vizsgálat cĂ©lja az elhĂzással kapcsolatos attitűdök konatĂv (viselkedĂ©ses) komponensĂ©t felmĂ©rĹ‘ Közös TevĂ©kenysĂ©gek KĂ©rdĹ‘Ăv (Shared Activities Questionnaire) magyar változatának kidolgozása Ă©s pszichometriai elemzĂ©se volt.
MĂłdszerek:
Keresztmetszeti, kĂ©rdĹ‘Ăves vizsgálatunkban 370, 10–15 Ă©v közötti tanulĂł (145 fiĂş Ă©s 225 lány) vett rĂ©szt. MĂ©rĹ‘eszközök: Közös TevĂ©kenysĂ©gek KĂ©rdĹ‘Ăv magyar változata, vizuális analĂłg skála, mellĂ©knĂ©vlista.
Eredmények:
A konfirmatĂv faktoranalĂzis alátámasztotta a Közös TevĂ©kenysĂ©gek KĂ©rdĹ‘Ăv magyar változatának faktorszerkezetĂ©t. A mĂ©rĹ‘eszköz konvergens validitása Ă©s belsĹ‘ megbĂzhatĂłsága is alátámasztást nyert. Az eredmĂ©nyek szerint az elhĂzott gyermekek megĂtĂ©lĂ©se kedvezĹ‘tlenebb a Közös TevĂ©kenysĂ©gek KĂ©rdĹ‘Ăv magyar változatának valamennyi alskáláján, mint a normális sĂşlyĂş gyermekekĂ©.
KonklĂşziĂł:
A vizsgálat megerĹ‘sĂti az általunk kidolgozott Közös TevĂ©kenysĂ©gek KĂ©rdĹ‘Ăv magyar változatának konstruktumvaliditását. A kĂ©rdĹ‘Ăv az elhĂzással kapcsolatos attitűdök konatĂv komponense ĂgĂ©retes mĂ©rĹ‘eszközĂ©nek tűnik, s lehetĹ‘sĂ©get nyĂşjt az elhĂzással kapcsolatos attitűdök egy aspektusának felmĂ©rĂ©sĂ©re. A mĂ©rĹ‘eszköz további vizsgálatokba valĂł bevonását javasoljuk.

Introduction:
Western societies show negative attitudes towards obesity. Prejudice related to obesity can be demonstrated already from early childhood. Negative prejudice and discrimination can have a deleterious effect on the mental and somatic health of overweight children. Assessing the type and extent of the stigmatization may be crucial in the development of adequate intervention programs.
Objectives:
Our main goals were to develop the Hungarian version of the Shared Activities Questionnaire, a measure assessing the behavioural component of attitudes towards obesity, and to conduct the psychometric analysis of this instrument.
Methods:
Our cross-sectional questionnaire study involved 370 participants, students between 10–15 years of age (145 boys and 225 girls). Measures: Hungarian version of the Shared Activities Questionnaire, Visual Analogue Scale, and Adjective Checklist.
Results:
The confirmatory factor analyses supported the original structure of the Shared Activities Questionnaire. Internal consistency and convergent validity were satisfactory. Results show that obese children are more harshly judged in all scales of the Shared Activities Questionnaire in comparison to normal weight peers.
Conclusion:
Our results support the construct validity of the Hungarian version of the Shared Activities Questionnaire. It is a promising measurement for assessing attitudes towards obesity, and it provides an opportunity to evaluate an aspect of attitudes relating to the obesity. The involvement of the questionnaire in further studies is suggested

A szociokulturális hatások kapcsolata az elhĂzottakkal szembeni elĹ‘ĂtĂ©letekkel kora serdĂĽlĹ‘korban = The association between sociocultural effects and bias against obese people at preadolescence ages
ElmĂ©leti háttĂ©r: A nyugati kultĂşrában negatĂv attitűdök kapcsolĂłdnak az elhĂzáshoz. Az elhĂzással kapcsolatos elĹ‘ĂtĂ©letek már ĂłvodáskortĂłl kezdĹ‘dĹ‘en kimutathatĂłak. A negatĂv elĹ‘ĂtĂ©let Ă©s diszkrimináciĂł káros hatást gyakorolhat az elhĂzott gyermekek Ă©s serdĂĽlĹ‘k mentális Ă©s testi egĂ©szsĂ©gĂ©re.

CĂ©l: A kutatás cĂ©lja az elhĂzottakkal szembeni elĹ‘ĂtĂ©letek potenciális magyarázĂł változĂłinak vizsgálata volt 10–15 Ă©v közötti gyermekek körĂ©ben.
MĂłdszerek: Keresztmetszeti, kĂ©rdĹ‘Ăves vizsgálatunkban 370, 10–15 Ă©v közötti diák (145 fiĂş Ă©s 225 lány) vett rĂ©szt. Az alábbi mĂ©rĹ‘eszközöket alkalmaztuk: Szociokulturális Hatások KĂ©rdĹ‘Ăv, MegjelenĂ©ssel Kapcsolatos Szociokulturális Attitűdök KĂ©rdĹ‘Ăv, Vizuális AnalĂłg Skála, MellĂ©knĂ©vlista, Közös TevĂ©kenysĂ©gek KĂ©rdĹ‘Ăv.
EredmĂ©nyek: A serdĂĽlĹ‘k felismerik Ă©s elfogadják a megjelenĂ©s szociokulturális standardjait, azaz internalizálják korunk szĂ©psĂ©gideáljait. Ezzel párhuzamosan mindkĂ©t nem körĂ©ben jelen van az elhĂzottakkal szembeni elĹ‘ĂtĂ©let, ugyanis mind a fiĂşk, mind a lányok az elhĂzott gyermekfigurákat preferálták a legkevĂ©sbĂ©. A kĂĽlsĹ‘ megjelenĂ©sre vonatkozĂł szociokulturális (mĂ©dia-, kortárs-, szĂĽlĹ‘i) hatások, valamint a megjelenĂ©s szociokulturális standardjainak (karcsĂş, illetve sportos testideál) internalizálása azonban csak kevĂ©s prediktĂv erĹ‘vel bĂrt az elĹ‘ĂtĂ©let alakulására vonatkozĂłan.
KövetkeztetĂ©sek: Tekintettel az elhĂzással kapcsolatos negatĂv elĹ‘ĂtĂ©leteknek Ă©s diszkrimináciĂłnak az elhĂzott egyĂ©nek pszichĂ©s Ă©s testi egĂ©szsĂ©gĂ©re gyakorolt potenciálisan káros következmĂ©nyeire, kĂĽlönösen fontos lenne további kutatásokat vĂ©gezni a serdĂĽlĹ‘korĂşak körĂ©ben megjelenĹ‘, elhĂzással kapcsolatos negatĂv attitűdök Ă©s elĹ‘ĂtĂ©let magyarázĂł változĂłinak feltárása Ă©rdekĂ©ben.

Background: Western societies show negative attitudes towards obesity. Prejudice related to obesity can be demonstrated already from early childhood. Negative prejudice and discrimination can have a deleterious effect on the mental and somatic health of overweight children. Assessing the type and extent of the stigmatization may be crucial in the development of adequate intervention programs.
Objectives: Main goal of our research was to analyze potential explanatory factors of prejudice against obesity among 10–15-year-old children.
Methods: Our cross-sectional, questionnaire study involved 370 participants, students between 10–15 years of age (145 boys and 225 girls). We used the following measures: Sociocultural Influences Questionnaire, Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3), Visual Analogue Scale, Adjective Checklist, Hungarian version of the Shared Activities Questionnaire.
Results: Adolescents recognize and accept the sociocultural standards of the appearance, i.e., internalize the beauty ideals of our age. Accordingly, the prejudice against obese subjects is present in both sexes, since both boys and girls preferred the least obese child figures. However, the sociocultural influences (media, peers, and parents) relating to the appearance, and the internalization of the sociocultural standards of the appearance meant only a less predictive value as far as the prejudice is concerned.
Conclusions: Regarding the potentially harmful consequences of the negative prejudices and discrimination on the psychological and somatic health status of obese subjects, it would be especially important to perform further studies to explore the explaining variables of the obesity related negative attitudes and the prejudice against obesity in adolescents
Origin, environmental presence and health effects of microplastics
Microplastics (MPs) – consisting of small plastic particles with size less than 5 mm – have become ubiquitous environmental contaminants. Even though plastics are mass produced and proved to be useful in many applications, they may have potentially negative impacts on environment and human health. Multiple sizes, shapes, and polymer types, and their various sources can influence the environmental and human health effects of MPs. Being present in oceans, freshwater, soils and air, MPs can cause human exposure via ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact, resulting possibly in oxidative stress, inflammation, altered balance in metabolism and immune system, neurotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, and cancer risk. Also, MPs can act as vectors of toxicants or microorganisms. All the same, public awareness towards MPs is currently low, and a lot of studies related to MPs are still ongoing. Further research is needed for a better understanding of MPs’ occurrence in environmental systems and their human health effects
