Abstract

Bu çalışmada yetişkin bireylerde sosyodemografik değişkenler, çocukluk çağı travmalarının, kişilik özelliklerinin ve psikolojik belirtilerin duygusal yeme ile olan ilişkisi incelenmektedir. 18-65 yaş arasında toplamda 382 kişiyle çalışma yürütülmüştür. Katılımcılara Türkçe Duygusal Yeme Ölçeği, Çocukluk Çağı Travmaları Ölçeği (ÇÇTÖ), Kısa Semptom Envanteri, Gözden Geçirilmiş Eysenck Kişilik Anketi-Kısaltılmış Formu (EKA-GGK) ve Demografik Bilgi Formu uygulanmıştır. Dağılım paterni nedeniyle parametrik olmayan analizler ve regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Fiziksel ihmal alt boyutu dışında çocukluk çağı travmalarının tüm altı ölçekleri, duygusal yeme ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Psikolojik belirtiler ile duygusal yeme davranışı arasındaki ilişki incelendiğinde ise pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki saptanmıştır. Kişilik özelliklerinin nörotisizm alt boyutu ile duygusal yeme davranışının pozitif yönde ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Sosyodemografik değişkenler incelendiğinde, cinsiyet, medeni durum, eğitim durumu, gelir durumu, çalışma durumu, kişinin kendini nasıl gördüğü ve kilo vermek için çaba sarf etme değişkenleri ile duygusal yeme arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur. KSE anksiyete, kişinin kendini nasıl gördüğü, yaş, meslek, psikolojik rahatsızlık, cinsiyet, boy, ÇÇTÖ toplam puanı, duygusal istismar, KSE somatizasyon değişkenlerinin duygusal yeme davranışını anlamlı olarak yordadığı saptanmıştır ve değişkenlerin varyansın %40,40’ını açıkladığı saptanmıştır. Literatür kapsamında araştırma bulguları tartışılmıştır.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship of sociodemographic variables, childhood traumas, personality traits, and psychological symptoms with emotional eating in adults. The study was conducted on a total of 382 individuals aged 18-65 years. The Turkish Emotional Eating Scale, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), the Brief Symptom Inventory, the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised Abbreviated (EPQR-A), and the Demographic Information Form were administered to the participants. Non-parametric and regression analyses were performed due to the distribution pattern. All childhood trauma subscales were found to be associated with emotional eating except for the physical neglect subscale. When the relationship between psychological symptoms and emotional eating was examined, a significant positive relationship was found. The neuroticism sub-dimension of personality traits was positively associated with emotional eating. When socio-demographic variables were analyzed, a significant relationship was found between emotional eating and gender, marital status, educational status, income status, employment status, self-image, and efforts to lose weight. It was found that BSI anxiety, self-perception, age, occupation, mental disorder, gender, height, CTQ total score, emotional abuse, and somatization variables significantly predicted emotional eating behavior, and the variables explained 40.40% of the variance. The research findings were discussed in the context of the literature.
