A comparison of maladaptive early schemas and appearance schemas in obese and normal weight control subjects.
2015
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare early maladaptive and appearance schemas in patients with obesity and normal-weight control group. Materials and Methods: The method of the study was causalcomparative and groups were included 30 obese patients (BMI≥35) and 30 normal-weight adults (BMI<25). All participants completed Young Schema Questionnaire–Short Version (YSQ-S) and Appearance Schema Inventory (ASI) questionnaire. Results: Patients with obesity showed significantly higher scores in compare to control group in self-sacrifice and emotional inhibition schemas. In addition, severity of appearance schemas in bodyimage vulnerability and selfinvestment subscales were significantly greater in obese patients than in control group. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that some early maladaptive and appearance schemas are associated with obesity and therefore, theoretical conceptualizations and psychological interventions should address the above thesis constructs.
