“…The first is the self-esteem scale instrument. The selfesteem scale used was Ronseberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES) (Brailovskaia & Margraf, 2020;Pietrabissa et al, 2020;Rosenberg, 1965) which consists of 10 items. RSES reliability based on alpha value of 0.902 and validity based on item total correlations ranged from 0.3296 -0.822.…”

One of the development tasks of adolescence is preparing career choices. Various methods have been carried out by authors in order to create an appropriate method to help adolescents. In this article, the authors will examine the psychoeducational groups with self-instruction techniques in improving career decision-making skills, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. The authors conducted a quasi-experimental of the pretest-posttest with group control to determine the impact of the intervention on these variables. The instrument used to obtain data is the psychological scale of career decision making, self-esteem, and self-efficacy, all of which have been tested for validity and reliability. The data collected was then analyzed with MANOVA and t-test. The results show that career decision making (F = 52.28, p <0.05), self-esteem (F = 28.10, p <0.05), and self-efficacy (F = 34.70, p <0.05) can be improved using psychoeducational groups with self-instruction techniques. The implications for the practice of guidance and counseling will be discussed.

“…Concurrently, previous research on personality has also provided evidence to support the presence of cultural differences in the correlates of perfectionism (e.g., Francisco et al, 2015), as well as in latent mean scores (e.g., Pietrabissa et al, 2020). Among these, the study carried out by Francisco et al (2015) has demonstrated that the direct and indirect role of perfectionism on body dissatisfaction varies between Portuguese and Spanish adolescents, despite belonging to two neighboring countries of the southern Europe.…”

“…Among these, the study carried out by Francisco et al (2015) has demonstrated that the direct and indirect role of perfectionism on body dissatisfaction varies between Portuguese and Spanish adolescents, despite belonging to two neighboring countries of the southern Europe. In addition, a very recent study reported significantly lower latent factor mean of self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism in Italians than in Spaniards ( Pietrabissa et al, 2020 ).…”

Perfectionism and Eating Behavior in the COVID-19 Pandemic

et al. 2021

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) represents a massive global health crisis leading to different reactions in people. Those reactions may be adaptive or not depending on situational or psychological processes. Disordered eating attitudes and behaviors are likely to be exacerbated by the pandemic through multiple pathways as suggested by Rodgers et al. (2020). Among the psychological variables that may have increased dysfunctional eating attitudes and behaviors as a consequence of the social distancing and isolation, we looked at perfectionism. Perfectionism is a well-recognized risk and maintaining factor of eating-related symptoms and interact with stress increasing the probability of dysfunctional reactions (e.g., Wang and Li, 2017). The present study investigated the relationship between multidimensional perfectionism and eating behaviors by considering the mediating role of psychological distress. Data were collected from two countries (Italy and Spain) by means of an online survey. The samples included 465 (63.4% female) participants from Italy and 352 (68.5% female) from Spain. Participants completed the short form of the Hewitt and Flett Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (Lombardo et al., 2021) to assess self-oriented, other-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism, as well as the short form of Three Factors Eating Questionnaire (Karlsson et al., 2000) and the Italian version of Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (Bottesi et al., 2015), respectively used to assess restrictive, emotional and uncontrolled eating on one hand, and depression, anxiety and stress on the other. Multigroup analysis was performed to test the hypothesized model. Results showed that other-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism were indirectly related to most of the dysfunctional eating aspects through the mediation of psychological distress, and the pattern obtained was consistent in both countries. These findings evidence that the psychological distress potentially related to the COVID-19 disease mediates the negative impact of interpersonal perfectionism and the tendency to eat in response to negative emotions.

“…Accordingly, the results from this review show that the QoLS domains of self-esteem, self-regard, negative thoughts, and physical appearance did not reach a statistically significant change following the IGB treatment [52], thus further stressing the need for a proper baseline assessment of these independent variables and the provision of tailored psychological interventions focus on enhancing self-management abilities, and self-efficacy [51,77,78]. High BMI is associated with lower body image and self-esteem in many investigations, and the way individuals with obesity feel about their bodies is heavily implicated in the development of psychopathological conditions and the likelihood of continuing weight loss [25,79,80].…”

Psychological Aspects of Treatment with Intragastric Balloon for Management of Obesity: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Introduction: Optimizing maintenance of weight loss for people with obesity following intragastric balloon (IGB) therapy hinges on the degree to which health care providers can recognize both the impact of emotional problems and mood difficulties on their capacity to self-manage, and requirements for additional support. However, there is limited research on the psychological correlates of IGB therapy. This systematic review, for the first time, attempts to identify and synthesize the empirical evidence for the reciprocal influence between psychological variables and IGB outcomes. Methods: A literature search was performed in the PubMed, SCOPUS, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar databases. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed using rigorous inclusion criteria and screening by at least 2 reviewers. The selected articles were assessed for quality using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist. Data were extracted to address the review aims and presented as a narrative synthesis. The review protocol was preregistered (Prospero CRD42019121291). Results: A total of 16,179 titles, 14,369 abstracts, and 51 full-text articles were screened, of which 16 studies were included. Findings suggest that female gender, older age, basic educational level, and single/divorced civil status, together with lower levels of depression, binge eating, higher perceived quality of life, and motivation to change were predictors of enhanced IGB treatment outcomes. Dissatisfaction with treatment was higher in those with impaired obesity-related social-life difficulties. The IGB treatment was effective in reducing weight and improving depression, anxiety, eating disorder symptoms, and the overall life quality of patients with obesity – mainly within 6 months from the device positioning and in conjunction with conventional therapies. Discussion/Conclusion: In line with the available literature on obesity and bariatric surgery interventions, poor mental health appears to be an important barrier for successful weight loss among patients with obesity undergoing IGB treatment. In order to improve the efficacy and effectiveness of the IGB therapy, more comprehensive and standardized studies are needed to provide insight into the psychological mechanisms maintaining weight management issues.
