Introdução: O pensamento perseverativo negativo define-se por uma forma de pensar
sobre os próprios problemas ou experiências negativas, tornando-se intrusivo, repetitivo
e difícil de controlar. O pensamento perseverativo negativo sob a forma de ruminação e
preocupação tem sido associado em alguns estudos a indivíduos com Perturbações
Alimentares.
Objetivo: Este estudo pretende analisar se as dimensões do pensamento perseverativo
são preditores significativos de atitudes alimentares disfuncionais.
Amostra: Participaram neste 468 estudantes universitários, 138 rapazes e 330 raparigas
com uma média de idades de 21.88 anos. Para a recolha de dados foram aplicados: o
Teste de Atitudes Alimentares (TAA – 25) e o Questionário de Pensamento
Perseverativo (QQP – 15).
Resultados: o Pensamento Repetitivo apresentou uma correlação positiva significativa
com os Comportamentos Bulímicos e a Dieta. Por sua vez, a Interferência Cognitiva
apresentou uma correlação significativa e positiva com todas as dimensões do TAA-25
(Comportamentos Bulímicos, Dieta e Pressão Social para Comer). Não foram
encontradas diferenças de género nas pontuações das atitudes alimentares disfuncionais
e do pensamento perseverativo. Relativamente às análises de regressão, percebemos
que, o Pensamento repetitivo apenas revela ser preditor da dimensão Dieta, enquanto a
Interferência Cognitiva é preditora dos Comportamentos Bulímicos, da Dieta e da
Pressão Social para Comer. Estes resultados sustentam, ainda que de forma preliminar,
que a interferência cognitiva pode ser um fator importante a ter em conta atitudes
alimentares disfuncionais.
Introduction: The negative perseverative thinking is defined by a way of thinking about their own problems or negative experiences, which becomes intrusive, repetitive and hard to control. The negative perseverative thinking in the form of rumination and worry/preoccupation has been associated in some studies to individuals with Eating Disorders. Objetive: This study pretends to analyze if the dimensions of the perseverative thinking are significant predictors of dysfunctional eating attitudes. Sample: In this study participated 468 university students, 138 boys and 330 girls with an average age of 21.88%. For the data collection were applied: the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT - 25) and the Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire (PTQ - 15). Results: the Repetitive Thinking presented a significant positive correlation with Bulimic Behavior and Diet. On the other hand, the Cognitive Interference revealed a significant positive correlation with all dimensions of TAA-25 (Bulimic Behaviors, Diet and Social Pressure for Eating). No gender differences were found in the scores of dysfunctional eating attitudes and perseverative thinking. Relatively to the regression analysis, we realized that repetitive thinking only reveals to be a predictor in the Diet dimension, while, on the other hand, cognitive interference is a predictor of Bulimic Behaviors, Diet and Social Pressure for Eating. These results support, even though in a preliminary way that cognitive interference may be an important fator to take into account in dysfunctional eating attitudes.
