SUBJECTS AND METHODS: One hundred and thirty-one adults participated in the study. Measurement tools included the Body Image Quality of Life Inventory, the short form of the Situational Inventory of Body-Image Dysphoria, the Beck Depression Inventory-II and the Contour Drawing Scale. RESULTS: The effects of body image-related negative emotions or depression on body dissatisfaction is moderated by body image-related quality of life, but only among obese participants. CONCLUSION: Treatment of obese patients should focus on improving quality of life related to body image, while managing negative emotions and body dissatisfaction. |
