Brief Summary:
The specific aims of this study are to document the co-existence of depression low self-esteem and high-risk behaviors among overweight and at-risk for overweight female adolescents and decrease the prevalence of high-risk behaviors by improving depressive symptomssigns and self-esteem through weight management intervention strategies that encourage long-term mental and physical well being The proposed research will test the following hypotheses
Overweight and at-risk for overweight female adolescents have poor self-esteem that may mask depression and mediate high-risk behaviors and
Improved weight perception decreases participation in high-risk behavior secondary to improved self-esteem and depression
Overweight and at-risk for overweight female adolescents have poor self-esteem that may mask depression and mediate high-risk behaviors and
Improved weight perception decreases participation in high-risk behavior secondary to improved self-esteem and depression
Detailed Description:
How adolescents view self-concept and value themselves self-esteem may predict future adjustment and success in life Self-concept comprises assessment of scholastic athletic and job competence social acceptance physical appearance romantic appeal behavioral conduct close friendship and global self-worth Self-esteem is the feeling of self-acceptance goodness and worthiness It influences daily activities motivation and behavior
Adolescents are very vulnerable to low self-esteem Generally boys have higher self-esteem than girls higher weight students have lower self-concept and post-menarcheal females have the poorest opinion of their physical appearance Higher body mass index BMI predicts more negative self-concept Body image and physical appearance contribute to general physical self-concept and self-esteem
Regardless of race gender age and socioeconomic status individuals are discriminated against on the basis of weight Weight-based stigmatization influences self-perception and the perceptions of significant others Sustained low self-esteem may precipitate anxiety depression under achievement poor motivation and inadequate interpersonal relations
Obese adolescents are stigmatized by peers They may attempt to protect their self-image by participating in high-risk behaviors Obese adolescent girls are more likely to report adverse social educational and psychological correlates than obese boys Overweight girls but not overweight boys manifest more depressive symptoms than their normal-weight peers Gender differences in clinical depressive syndromes may emerge in early childhood as opposed to puberty as previously thought
Early stigmatization of obese children may explain their lower self-esteem and greater shame humiliation and perceived teasing compared with their nonobese peers Studies have found increased psychopathology among clinical samples of obese children and demonstrated improvements in psychological functioning with weight loss Implementing lifestyle changes during early adolescence ages 10 to 13 years and middle adolescence ages 14 to 16 years may hold the key for preventing obesity and depression
The study population will consist of approximately 100 overweight or at-risk for overweight female volunteers 10 - 14 years old
