Abstract :

Behavior is a general term that describes a person's attitude and its relationship with eating and food and is the result of environmental, physiological and psychological factors. ‌ The present study aimed to study the prediction of eating behavior based on emotion regulation And self-efficacy was assessed in obese women. The present study was a correlational description in terms of basic purpose and in terms of data collection method, which required information through the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (1986), Gross Emotion Regulation (2003), Scherer Self-Efficacy (1982) and information. Demographics were collected. Through available sampling, according to Green formula (1991), 100 obese women aged 35 to 50 years with a body mass index above 30 who referred to diet therapy centers and sports clubs in Ferdis in the spring and summer of 1998 Were, were selected and completed the questionnaires. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 22 using stepwise multivariate regression analysis. The results showed that there is no significant relationship between emotion regulation and eating behavior. Meanwhile, there is a negative and significant relationship between self-efficacy and eating behavior with accepting an error of less than 0.1% (P <0.001). Among the components of self-efficacy, the most important role belonged to the subscale "desire to initiate behavior" and the role of the subscale "different in facing obstacles" and the subscale "desire to expand effort" are in the second and third place, respectively. As a result, it can be said that self-efficacy factors are one of the factors affecting obesity and it is recommended to pay attention to these variables in obesity prevention and treatment programs.
