Aim - psychological prevention of development of exogenous-constitutional obesity on the basis of the definition of early diagnostic socio-psychological criteria for the risk of obesity in adolescents. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the Department of Endocrinology of the Children's City Clinical Hospital No. 1. The sample of the study consisted of 40 adolescents, 20 of whom had a diagnosis of "Exogenous-constitutional obesity", grade 3-4 (the clinical group), while the other 20 adolescents had normal weight (the control group). The following psychodiagnostic methods were used in the study: the test of character accentuation by K. Leonhard, S. Schmieschek, the Dutch food questionnaire, the test "Adolescents about Parents" (ADOR), the method of directed retrospective analysis on "My Relations with Food" topic by V.I. Shebanova. Results. Adolescents with obesity are characterized by high sensitivity, empathy, a tendency for prolonged experience of grievances, suspicion, mistrust, emotional discomfort. In the families of adolescents with obesity, there is a cult of food, which negatively affects the formation of eating behavior. Adolescents with obesity are prone to emotionally dependent eating behavior. The social-psychological risk factors for obesity in adolescents are stuck and emotional character accentuations, low level of restrictive eating behavior, lack of intimacy with the mother, mother’s hostility and domination. Conclusion. Knowledge of the identified factors allows to predict the risk of obesity in adolescents at the early stage of weight gain and to carry out its timely prevention by correcting the characterological features, parent-child relationships and eating style in the family.

Objectives. Body size attitudes and body image dissatisfaction develop in early childhood. The aim of the study was to examine to which extent parental body size attitudes, internalization of the gender-appropriate, socially-acceptable beauty standards, and body dissatisfaction shape the attitudes of their children towards overweight peers, and the image that they have of their own body. Sample and settings. The authors interviewed 73 preschool and school children and their parents in mother-daughter and father-son dyads evaluating corresponding constructs. Hypotheses. The authors hypothesized that preschool-age boys and girls would exhibit a positive attitude towards the thin silhouettes and a negative attitude towards overweight ones. Statistical analysis. The chi-square tests of homogeneity were used to verify the percentage, with which characteristics were attributed to the five silhouettes and also to verify the hypothesis regarding children's negative stereotypes. The multiple linear regression model that includes maternal attitude towards overweight people, body dissatisfaction, restrictive eating behavior, and internalization of the thin body ideal has been used to explore the link between body size attitudes in mothers and daughters. Results. Statistical analysis indicated that children as young as 4 years old hold prejudice against their overweight peers by attributing them a small percent of positive characteristics and a greater percentage of negative characteristics. Motherʼs body size attitude and restrictive eating behavior were associated with daughter prejudices. Paternal body size attitudes and body dissatisfaction predicted their sonʼs body size attitudes. Limitations. The procedure used to assess childrenʼs body dissatisfaction and the limited group of participants were the limitations of this study.

Research is devoted the study of features of eating behavior and of personality traits in four female groups: of professional players of the basketball (N=14), of figure skaters (N=6), professional dancers (N=7) and control group (N=10). In total 37 girls aged 11–15 years participated in the study. The results showed that professional factors affect eating behavior: Girls from sports teams have had a tendency to bulimia, Dancers and figure skaters showed restrictive eating behavior. The both experimental groups showed higher scores on a scale of «Asceticism», compared with the control group. For basketball players and partly figure skaters were also characterized by such personality traits as «Dissatisfaction with their own body», «The difficulty of interacting with other people», «Poor understanding of their own feelings» and «Fear of maturity», players of the basketball, figure skaters, professional dancers.

This study was conducted in a descriptive, correlational design to examine the relationship between the eating behaviors and the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome of midwifery students in the Covid-19 outbreak. While the population of the study was constituted by the students (N= 357) of the Health Sciences Faculty Midwifery Department of a public university, 204 students who volunteered to participate in the study constituted the sample of the study. The data were collected with the "Personal Information Form" and "Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMS)" and "Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire". It was determined that 37.8% of the students increased their appetite and 39.2% tea and coffee consumption during the three-month pandemic process in which social isolation and quarantine measures were taken, while 44.1% of them decreased their physical activity. There was a significant difference between the changes in appetite, weight and sleep of the students in the last three months and their PMS score averages. It was determined that there was a significant relationship between the PMS scale total score averages of the students and the emotional eating behavior sub-dimension of the Dutch Eating Behavior Scale and the restrictive eating behaviors sub-dimension.

The study examines the effect of heart rate variability (HRV) on the cardiac defence response (CDR) and eating disorder symptomatology in chocolate cravers. Female chocolate cravers (n = 36) and noncravers (n = 36) underwent a psychophysiological test to assess their HRV during a 5-min rest period, followed by three trials to explore the CDR, elicited by an intense white noise, during the viewing of chocolate, neutral, and unpleasant pictures. After the test, participants completed a questionnaire to measure eating disorder symptomatology. The HRV was inversely related to the magnitude of the CDR and to eating disorder symptomatology in chocolate cravers. In addition, the HRV was inversely related to the magnitude of the CDR when viewing unpleasant pictures but not to neutral or chocolate ones, across all participants. These findings support the idea that poor autonomic regulation, indexed by low HRV, plays a relevant role in food craving and uncontrolled eating behavior.
