Search for: [Abstract = "The aim of the interview was to select and interpret the main topics associated by individuals with the issues of overweight and underweight and their cultural meanings. The analysis shows that cultural meanings of opposite categories \"slim\" \- \"obese\" are significantly connected with gender\: the assessment of who is slim and who is obese depends not only on the sexes of the observing and observed individuals, but is also conditioned by a number of assumptions on the perception of roles connected with sex, socially perceived ideals of a beautiful and attractive body, and also stereotypes of femininity and masculinity."]
