Zusammenfassung	The Weight Bias Internalization Scale is an 11-item self-report instrument designed to measure the degree to which individuals with overweight or obesity internalize negative weight-based societal stereotypes and apply them to themselves. Developed by Durso and Latner in 2008, the WBIS measures self-directed weight stigma—the belief that one is inferior, lazy, or undesirable due to body weight. The WBIS is widely used in obesity research, psychological intervention studies, and health behavior research examining the impact of weight stigma on weight-related outcomes and mental health.	The Food Neophobia Scale is a 10-item self-report instrument measuring the degree to which individuals are reluctant or fearful of trying new foods. Developed by Pliner and Hobden in 1992, the FNS measures food neophobia—an aversion to unfamiliar foods—which is influenced by both evolutionary factors (caution toward unknown foods) and learned behaviors. The scale is widely used in nutrition, food science, and psychology research examining dietary diversity, food acceptance, and barriers to healthy eating.
