Improved understanding of how normal weight and moderately overweight people manage their body weight and shape could be used to inform initiatives to prevent and treat obesity. This literature review offers a thorough appraisal of existing research into perceptions and management of own body size among normal weight and moderately overweight people. The studies reported in the 47 publications reviewed here address various themes based on different conceptualizations. The studies point out that normal weight and moderately overweight people are much concerned about their body size, but huge discrepancies are found between their own perceptions and study categorizations. The studies also indicate that normal weight and moderately overweight people are actively engaged in managing their body size through numerous managing strategies, and dieting is widespread. Together the studies do not form a unified and coherent research field, and there is a bias towards North American study populations. Methodological problems were identified in some publications, raising questions about generalizability of the findings. Moreover, only few studies give deeper insight into the specific perceptions and actions. Repeated studies are needed in broader and more differentiated geographical, social and cultural contexts, and longitudinal studies and more in-depth explorations are especially needed.

RESUMEN:En este artículo se explorará la posibilidad de decretar daños punitivos por prácticas antisindicales o desleales. En la actualidad, las medidas que adopta el juez son básicamente el cese de la conducta y las multas respectivas; sin embargo, estas medidas aparecerían como insufi cientes, sobre todo en un esquema de costo/benefi cio en que algunas empresas prefi eren pagar multas antes que tener que dialogar con sus trabajadores y representantes. Por lo anterior, resulta interesante la lectura del art. 495 N° 3 del Código del trabajo, en el sentido de que al hablar de las "indemnizaciones que procedan" pueda incluirse el daño punitivo. PALABRAS CLAVE:Daños punitivos -prácticas antisindicales -sanción -retribución -prevención. PUNITIVE DAMAGES AND YELLOW-DOG PRACTICES ABSTRACT:In this article, the possibility of imposing punitive damages for anti-union or yellow-dog practices will be examined. Th ese days, the remedies taken by courts are basically the cessation of the conduct and the respective fi nes. However, these remedies seem to be insuffi cient, especially in a scheme of cost/benefi t, where some companies prefer to pay fi nes rather than having to talk to their employees and representatives. Th erefore, it is interesting to read the article 495 N° 3 of the Labour Code in the sense that when talking about "compensation as appropriate" may include punitive damages.
