Abstract

Abstract. The article shows the individual psychological characteristics of female participants in a weight loss program and determines their level of compliance. Background: People who are interested in body weight loss consider overweight as their main problem, although often overweight is only a result of misbalance in other areas of their lives, which leads to overeating. Therefore, attempts to lose weight often do not have a lasting effect. Aim. The paper aims to find the individual psychological characteristics and the level of compliance among women who have addressed for specialized help. Materials and methods. A study of 142 women aged 20–60 years was conducted (average age – 41.5 years). 3 groups were compared: women with BMI > 25 seeking help from weight loss experts (n = 42); women with BMI > 25 who did not seek help (n = 47); women with BMI under 25 who did not seek help (n = 53). The following methods were used: Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Big-Five factor markers (BFFM). Results. It was found that women who asked for help weight loss experts were concerned about their body shape and demonstrated more pronounced eating disorders and higher impulsivity than women of other groups, while their compliance was lower than that of women with a BMI of up to 25. The level of compliance in the group of women who sought help from experts increased for six months and then began to decline. Conclusion: Women with psychogenic overeating are concerned about their body shape, have pronounced eating disorders and are characterized by higher impulsivity and compliance.
