What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying metacognitive beliefs, emotional regulation, and emotional eating in adults with obesity to understand how these factors may relate to each other. This observational study focuses on patients aged 18 to 65 who have a body mass index BMI of 35 or higher, based on World Health Organization criteria, and are of Italian nationality. Participants will complete several questionnaires including the Metacognition Questionnaire, Penn State Worry Questionnaire, Ruminative Response Scale, Anger Rumination Scale, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, and the Emotional Eating subscale of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire. These tools help assess different aspects of thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and eating behaviors. During the study, researchers will evaluate baseline measures of metacognitive beliefs, rumination, anger rumination, emotional dysregulation, and emotional eating. The study does not involve treatment but collects data through questionnaires to explore these psychological factors in obese patients. Participation involves completing these assessments and providing informed consent.
