Riassunto	Few studies have examined age or cultural differences in the stereotypes adolescents have of persons with obesity. The present research explored the hypotheses that American adolescents have more negative obesity stereotypes than Chinese adolescents and that the effects of culture are mediated by weight attributions and thin idealization. Participants (N = 335; 181 female; M age = 14.83 years, SD = 1.57 years) completed measures of thin idealization and causal attributions and made generalizations from and attributions of stereotypical personality characteristics to obese figures. Not only did stereotypes differ between countries, but generalizations of negative characteristics from obese figures increased with age. In addition, American adolescents more firmly endorsed the ‘thin ideal’ and were more likely to attribute obesity to internal causes that Chinese adolescents. As anticipated, between‐country differences in stereotyping were mediated by thin idealization and causal attributions. Findings are discussed in terms of the ‘doctrine of the mean’, social identity theory, and dual‐process theories.
