Abstract: (313 Views)
Introduction: Obesity and overweight during adolescence are considered one of the most important physical and mental health challenges. Identifying the psychological variables involved in obesity can play an important role in the prevention and treatment of this disease. In this study, we try to compare emotion regulation, impulsivity, depression and anxiety in overweight adolescents with peers with normal weight.
Methods: The present study was cross-sectional-comparative. The population of this study included adolescent girls from Kashan. Through convenience sampling, 30 overweight and 30 normal weight individuals were selected as samples. Participants completed questionnaires on emotion regulation, impulsivity, depression, and anxiety. Data were analyzed using T-tests.
Results: The results showed that there was no significant difference between the emotion regulation scores of the two groups (t = -0.756). Also, there was no significant difference between the depression scores of the two groups (t = 0.956). On the other hand, the results showed that there was a significant difference between the anxiety scores of the two groups (P < 0.01 and t = -2.784). There was also a significant difference between the impulsivity scores of the two groups (P < 0.01 and t = -2.969).
Conclusions: The results showed that overweight adolescents had higher scores in impulsivity and anxiety than adolescents with normal weight, indicating a relationship between these variables and weight status during this period.
