The opinion of women about their shape is formed by the environment

ScienceDaily ( Mar. 29, 2011 ) - A recent study suggests that evaluation. women. his body is only indirectly related to their mass index. body. (BMI), the proportions of healthy weight for height.

The strongest influence on the assessment of. women. her body is something to what they listen to other people's opinion, it is assumed in the study. On the other hand, the more. women. able to focus on internal processes in its. body. - Or how their body functions, and. woman. feels - instead of the views of others, the higher they rate their own. body.

The more. woman. value their. body. , The more likely it is to eat intuitively - based on feelings of hunger or saturation, and not on emotions or of the presence of food.

'. women. Who pay more attention to the proper functioning of. body. And fewer thoughts about the views of others, will have a more positive evaluation from others, they will have a tendency to eat according to the needs of its. body. ' And do not follow what is dictated by their society, ...

Other studies have shown that approximately 50 percent. women. satisfied with their. bodies. These studies have focused on the study of how they were satisfied with their. bodies. And how they avoid the mistakes that can hinder their positive thinking.

In the end, the researchers say, it all comes down to respect. if. women. going to take care of their. bodies. with healthy eating, physical examination and exercise - they first have to love her. body.

' And it turns out, we hope that others like our. body. , Then to please us, ... ' It's not our weight, and in the evaluation of other people in our environment. This means that people should be interested in less subjectivity in relation to themselves and paying less attention to their weight '.

Studies were conducted in collaboration with former Ohio State doctoral student Casey Augustus- Horvath'om which is currently laureatomm Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Research published in the latest issue of the journal. Journal of Counseling Psychology.

Tylka has developed, according to her, making model, which serves as a benchmark for other researchers and clinicians in the factors that affect the assessment of. women. their. phone. and take part in an intuitive eating. She was the first built a model for. women. aged 18 to 65 years based on a survey of these age categories.

women. Whom she interviewed were divided into three groups: beginner adults. women. 18-25 years, early adult. women. in age from 26 to 39, and. women. the average age from 40 to 65. Results 801. woman. participated in the survey.

The researchers asked. women. about their perceived social support on the basis of different relationships, whether they believed. women. That their loved ones, society and the media are positive about their. body. , On which they are more focused - on the proper functioning of the body or appearance, how they evaluated their. body. , And they ate or not intuitively.

For the most part, the number of. women. Who were inclined to a positive evaluation of. body. and intuitive diet, was similar in all age groups. women. That are expected to have strong social support, in turn, believed that others appreciate the attractiveness of their. body. This perception enabled them to worry less about their appearance and more concerned about how their bodies function, which automatically encourage your own high appreciation of their. body. and a healthy approach to eating.

But some differences also occurred in this study, especially with the addition of BMI as an element of influence. Separately, BMI was not directly related to how. women. perceive their. body.

' It was wonderful to consider and compare the performance assessment of BMI and the people around the female. body. , ... ' So if. women. weight, her body around can evaluate positively, if they take. a woman. as it is. Conversely, if. women. low BMI, it can assess the environment is low, if they do not assess its appearance and weight.

' One of the problems is the clinical education partners, family, friends and the media about the importance of people as they are, and do not criticize them. body. and appearance. '.

BMI influenced the approach to nutrition in the two older groups. women. for. women. aged 26-65 with higher BMI and eating with the appearance of hunger and eat when completing a state of saturation was significantly less food. for the young. women. There was no relationship between BMI and visceral power.

' This may mean that people with excess weight feel pressure from others, they go on a diet that prevents them from listening to the internal signals. body. , ... ' Perhaps, over time, the full. women. no longer trust the. body. When it will give the signals of hunger or saturation. '.

women. in the two older age groups were also more likely to think that the environment is negatively evaluated by their. body. Because they were overweight. The discovery suggests that the weight gain that often accompanies aging. women. , Is the reason why. women. believe that the environment negatively evaluate their. body. - Says Tylka.

women. at the age of 26 to 39 reached a higher valuation by others when they are focused more on the proper functioning of. body. Rather than the appearance of.

' In this case, we think that. women. in early adulthood is of childbearing age, and if they look at their. body. From this perspective, they will think not only about the appearance of. However, once they become that age, their attention to the appearance of intensified ', said Tylka.

... woman. thin, often backfire ', Tylka said. ' After all, they tend to focus on eating in terms of counting calories and portion sizes - the external signals, rather than on what really needs. body. women. - Hunger and saturation.

' If you do not focus on the feeling of hunger and satiety, and someone says you are overweight, you'll take it more emotional. In this case you will have for emotional reasons, and voila, the likelihood of weight gain even greater increases ', she said.

' In the end, we ourselves are responsible for our relations. We do not want to be the only important thing was how others perceive your. body. However, the opinions of others have some attention. And we must, as a society, to stop judge people by their appearance and weight, '- added Tylka.
