PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BODY WEIGHT ISSUES IN WOMEN WITH DISORDERED EATING BEHAVIOR

Abstract

This article examines the psychological characteristics of body weight issues in women with disordered eating behavior. It analyzes the influence of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral factors on body image perception and eating attitudes. The study highlights the role of body dissatisfaction, perfectionism, and emotional dysregulation in the development of anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating tendencies. The findings support the need for targeted psycho-correctional programs to improve self-image and regulate maladaptive eating behavior.
