Comparing individuals of varying weight statuses on their identification and regulation of emotions may increase our understanding of mechanisms that drive excess weight gain and highlight more precise weight regulation targets. In Study I ( N = 1333), adults with obesity had reduced self-reported attention to and repair of emotions compared to adults with overweight or normal weight. In Study II ( N = 85), adults with obesity had deficits in assessor-administrated tasks of strategic emotional intelligence (i.e. understanding and using emotional information for self-management). Problems identifying and regulating emotions could impact emotion regulation processes that lead to problematic behaviors associated with eating and weight gain.
比较不同体重状况个体的情绪识别和调节能力，可能有助于深入理解导致体重过度增加的机制，并明确更精确的体重调节目标。在研究 I（N=1333）中，与超重或正常体重的成年人相比，肥胖成年人报告的情绪关注和修复能力较低。在研究 II（N=85）中，肥胖成年人在评估者管理的战略情绪智力任务中存在缺陷（即理解和利用情绪信息进行自我管理）。情绪识别和调节问题可能会影响情绪调节过程，导致与饮食和体重增加相关的不良行为。
