Background and Aim: Adolescent obesity is important because it is an indicator of obesity in adulthood. Identifying the psychological variables involved in obesity can playing 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. .
Materials and Methods: The present study is causal-comparative. The population of this study included adolescent girls from Kashan. Through available sampling, 30 overweight and 30 normal weight individuals were selected as samples. Participants completed questionnaires on emotion regulation, impulsivity, depression, and anxiety.
Findings: 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).
Conclusion: According to the mentioned results, it can be said that impulsivity and anxiety are two psychological variables that can play an important role in predicting overweight in teenagers.
