While cross-cultural work on anti-fat attitudes has examined variations in the Negative Cultural Value of Fat (NCF), how perceptions of NCF and Perceived Weight Discrimination (PWD) jointly affect well-being among individuals with higher weights across different countries has not been examined. The present study focused on participants who self-identified as overweight, hypothesizing larger gender disparities in well-being in Portugal and Mexico than in the United States, partly due to higher PWD and NCF among women.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      1865 participants from the United States (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009676), Portugal (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009616), and Mexico (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009573) who self-identified as overweight completed an online survey lasting approximately 12\u2009min (50% Women; Age:\n                      <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200934.6, SD\u2009=\u200912.44).
