Abstract | Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati doprinos nekih demografskih, emocionalnih i ponašajnih varijabli u objašnjenju prejedanja u situaciji karantene nastale zbog COVID-a - 19. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 535 sudionika, od čega su 26 % muškarci, a 74 % žene. Istraživanje je provedeno online upitnikom, koji je dijeljen putem društvenih mreža. Kako bi se smanjila rodna pristranost korištena je i metoda snježne grude. Upitnik se sastojao od demografskih pitanja, Ljestvice odnosa prema hrani, Ljestvice percipiranog stresa, Ljestvice suočavanja sa stresom, Ljestvice percipirane socijalne podrške, Ljestvice usamljenosti te kriterijske Ljestvice prejedanja koja je konstruirana za potrebe ovoga rada. Od demografskih i situacijskih varijabli korištene su čestice koje ispituju dob, rod, razinu obrazovanja, percipiranu tjelesnu težinu, razinu dosade, broj ukućana te količinu tjelovježbe tijekom karantene. Provedbom hijerarhijske regresijske analize pokazalo se da se u situaciji karantene više prejedaju žene, oni koji manje vježbaju i osjećaju višu razinu dosade, koji su skloni emocionalnom prejedanju i više reagiraju na znakove hrane u okolini, a pri nošenju stresom manje se koriste strategijama usmjerenim na problem. Ukupna objašnjena varijanca iznosila je 30.1%, a najveći samostalni doprinos u predikciji pojave prejedanja dala je podljestvica Emocionalno prejedanje (β=.345; p<.001) iz Ljestvice odnosa prema hrani. |
Abstract (english) | The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of demographic, emotional and behavioral factors in explanation of overeating in situation of quarantine caused by COVID19. There were 535 participants, 26% males and 74% females. Study was conducted online, using the questionnaire that was spread through social media. In order to minimize the gender bias in favour of women, we also used snowball sampling. The questionnaire was consisted of demographic questions, Adult Eating Behaviour Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale, Scale of Perceived Social Support, COPE Inventory for evaluating coping as disposition, UCLA Loneliness Scale and, as a criterion, Scale of overeating constructed for the purpose of this study. To examine the role of demographic and situational variables we used age, gender, level of education, perceived weight, level of boredom, number of people in the household and the amount of exercise during quarantine period. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that during quarantine individuals who have a tendency to overeat are women, those who were exercising less, were bored more frequently, have tendency to emotional overeating, react more to the signs of food in their surrounding and tend to use less problem-focused coping. Total explained variance was 30.1%, and the highest individual contribution in explaining overeating during quarantine was by the Emotional overeating subscale (β=.345; p<.001) from the Adult Eating Behaviour Questionnaire. |
