The present study explored the associations between acculturative stress, internalized weight stigma, and psychological distress in a sample of racially diverse U.S. immigrants (n = 200). Linear regression analyses revealed that acculturative stress was a significant predictor of internalized weight stigma, and that internalized weight stigma was a significant predictor of psychological distress both before and after controlling for acculturative stress. Findings contribute to the topical diversity of literature regarding weight- and shape-related concerns in immigrant populations and have implications for multicultural social work education and practice
