This was a descriptive correlational study. The study was conducted in a diet outpatient clinic of a university hospital. Participants had moderate weight self-stigma, depression and loneliness. Weight self-stigma sub-dimensions self-devaluation ([3=0.28; p<0.001) and fear of enacted stigma ([3=0.28; p<0.001) equally predicted depression. Fear of enacted stigma predicted social loneliness negatively ([3=-.44; p<0.001). Fear of enacted stigma ([3 =.16, p<.005) and depression ([3 =.44, p<.001) predicted emotional loneliness positively. Weight self-stigma was positively correlated with depression and loneliness (p<0.001).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessObesity; weight self stigma; depression; lonelinessArticle10.4314/ahs.v23i3.8023369670438357107WOS:001085838300080Q3
