In a retrospective investigation designed to measure locus of control, body image, and weight loss in Overeaters Anonymous members who had childhood, adolescence, or adulthood onset of obesity, 116 subjects were grouped according to age at onset of obesity and the year they joined OA. A convenience, volunteer sample of OA members completed a demographic data questionnaire, Rotter's Social Reaction. Inventory, and Secord and Jourard's Body Cathexis Scale. Significant overweight percentage differences were not found when the three age-at-onset groups were compared. Significant differences emerged, however, for adolescent-onset group persons who were categorized as "old" members; they had a larger weight loss and were more satisfied with their body image. A positive linear relationship between greater perception of internal control and a good body image was found in the entire adulthood-onset group. Weight loss and good body image of the oldest adolescent-onset group probably was the outcome of their association with a self-help group i.e., OA. Assessment of developmental issues related to the time of initial weight gain may indicate which treatment regime would be most effective.
在一项旨在测量肥胖始于童年、青少年期或成年期的匿名戒酒互助会成员的控制源、身体意象和体重减轻情况的回顾性调查中，116名受试者根据肥胖起始年龄和加入匿名戒酒互助会的年份进行了分组。一个由匿名戒酒互助会成员组成的便利志愿者样本完成了一份人口统计学数据问卷、罗特社会反应量表以及塞科德和朱拉德身体投入量表。比较三个肥胖起始年龄组时，未发现显著的超重百分比差异。然而，对于被归类为“老”成员的青少年起始组人群，出现了显著差异；他们体重减轻更多，对自己的身体意象更满意。在整个成年起始组中，发现对内部控制的更强感知与良好的身体意象之间存在正线性关系。最年长的青少年起始组的体重减轻和良好的身体意象可能是他们与自助组织即匿名戒酒互助会关联的结果。对与初始体重增加时间相关的发育问题的评估可能表明哪种治疗方案最有效。
