Resumen
Los estudiantes universitarios hispanos con mayor sensibilidad a la ansiedad reportan expectativas de alimentación más inadecuadas. Esto incluye el uso de alimentos para sobrellevar el aburrimiento, sentirse fuera de control y controlar las emociones negativas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Psicología
- Trastornos de la alimentación
- Salud pública
Sus antecedentes:
- Los adultos emergentes hispanos enfrentan una angustia psicológica y presiones socioculturales únicas.
- Las cogniciones de alimentación inadecuadas, como las expectativas de alimentación, están vinculadas a comportamientos alimenticios poco saludables.
- La sensibilidad a la ansiedad puede ser un factor clave que impulsa estas expectativas de alimentación inadecuadas.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Examinar la relación entre la sensibilidad a la ansiedad y las expectativas de alimentación en los estudiantes universitarios hispanos.
- Comprender los procesos de vulnerabilidad afectiva que influyen en las cogniciones alimenticias en esta población.
Principales métodos:
- Estudio transversal en el que participaron 337 estudiantes universitarios hispanos.
- Análisis estadístico que controla la edad, el sexo, el índice de masa corporal y el estrés aculturativo.
Principales resultados:
- Una mayor sensibilidad a la ansiedad se asoció positivamente con las expectativas de comer para aliviar el aburrimiento.
- El aumento de la sensibilidad a la ansiedad se correlacionó con las expectativas de alimentación relacionadas con la sensación de estar fuera de control.
- La sensibilidad a la ansiedad predijo expectativas de alimentación dirigidas a manejar el afecto negativo.
Conclusiones:
- La sensibilidad a la ansiedad es un predictor significativo de las expectativas de alimentación inadecuadas en los adultos hispanos emergentes.
- Los hallazgos destacan el papel de la sensibilidad a la ansiedad en los patrones de alimentación poco saludables dentro de este grupo demográfico.
- Las intervenciones dirigidas a la sensibilidad a la ansiedad pueden ayudar a reducir las expectativas de alimentación desadaptativa.
