Abstract(s)
A autorregulação é um processo motivacional que tem sido muito importante para compreender o controlo do comportamento alimentar devido à existência de alimentos tentadores no meio envolvente. A autorregulação diz respeito aos processos que permitem o indivíduo ajustar o seu comportamento às exigências do meio e modificar o seu comportamento para atingir metas e resultados desejados (Baumeister, 2007).
A percepção da Obesidade como doença também parece ter um papel importante na autorregulação. A perceção de doença diz respeito ao modo como o doente percepciona a sua doença e o que faz para lidar com a mesma.
O objetivo principal é investigar a relação entre a percepção de doença e o uso das estratégias de autorregulação do comportamento alimentar em pessoas com excesso de peso e ou Obesidade.
Usou-se o TESQ-E - Tempest Self-Regulation Questionnaire for Eating, e o IPQ-R - Questionário de Percepção de Doença, numa amostra de 137 pessoas adultas de ambos os sexos, com excesso de peso e Obesidade, idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 69 Anos (M= 37,23; DP= 13,297).
Esperava-se que as pessoas com Obesidade que tivessem representações de doença mais ajustadas, utilizassem mais estratégias de autorregulação do comportamento Alimentar a fim de controlar a sua alimentação e consequentemente, a sua doença.
Constatou-se que existem correlações positivas na dimensão da Perceção de doença Duração cíclica com a dimensões do TESQ-E que são a distração, supressão, estabelecer objetivos e regras e perseguir objetivos. Também constatou-se correlações negativas nas dimensões da perceção de doença controlo pessoal e à coerência da doença com as dimensões do TESQ-E que são a distração, perseguir objetivos e supressão. Verificou-se diferenças significativas no uso de estratégias de Autorregulação do comportamento Alimentar de acordo com o local de residência e de acordo com o género, isto é, os sujeitos residentes em vilas parecem utilizar mais estratégias, bem como, o sexo feminino.
Self-regulation is a motivational process that has been very important in understanding the control of eating behavior due to the existence of tempting foods in the surrounding environment. Self-regulation refers to processes that allow individuals to adjust their behavior to the demands of the environment and modify their behavior to achieve desired goals and outcomes (Baumeister, 2007). The perception of disease also seems to play an important role in self-regulation. The perception of disease concerns how the patient perceives his illness and what he does to deal with it. The objective is to investigate the relationship between the perception of disease and the use of strategies of self-regulation of eating behavior in people with overweight and / or Obesity. The TESQ-E - Tempest Self-Regulation Questionnaire for Eating, and the IPQ-R - Disease Perception Questionnaire were used in a sample of 137 adult individuals of both sexes, overweight and obese, ages 18 and the 69 Years (M= 37,23; DP= 13,297). It was hoped that people with Obesity who had more accurate disease representations would use more strategies of self-regulation of Eating behavior in order to control their diet and, consequently, their illness. That is, it was expected that individuals with higher scores in the TESQ-E strategies also had a better or better perception of the disease. It was found that there are positive correlations in the dimension of the Cyclical Duration disease with the dimensions of the TESQ-E that are distraction, suppression, set goals and rules and pursue goals. Negative correlations were also observed in the dimensions of the perception of personal disease control and the coherence of the disease with the dimensions of the TESQ-E that are distraction, pursuit goals and suppression. There were significant differences in the use of self-regulation strategies of food behavior according to place of residence and according to gender, that is, subjects residing in villages seem to use more strategies, as well as female.
