تمایزگذاری افراد چاق مبتلا و غیرمبتلا به اختلال پرخوری بر اساس تکانشگری و اجتناب تجربه‌ای: یک مطالعه همبستگی

Objectives This research aimed to compare impulsivity and experiential avoidance in obese individuals with and without Binge Eating Disorder (BED).  Methods We obtained data from 60 severely obese women referring to health centers and gyms. They were selected by convenience sampling method. The participants completed Gormally Binge Eating Scale (BES), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS), and Bond Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ). The obtained data were analyzed by the discriminant analysis method.  Results Among 5 investigated components in two groups of with and without binge eating disorder, the components of non-planning impulsivity (P<0.01), and emotional avoidance and control (P<0.05) were found significant.   Conclusion In the two groups of with and without binge eating disorder, the components of non-planning impulsivity, emotional avoidance and control were found significant. This means that significant differences exist between individuals with and without binge eating disorder.
