Cynical hostility, depression, and obesity: the moderating role of education and gender

Article Abstract:

Education moderates the positive connection of cynical hostility (CynDis) and obesity among women, but not among men, in a way that the connection is not found in highly educated women, according to research into whether gender and education alter the associations between measures of obesity and psychological factors. The modest link between education and CynDis could mean that well-educated women with higher CynDis scores are not different from less cynical ones in their weight-related behaviour. It seems important to consider both socioeconomic and psychological factors when investigating obesity.

Family functioning and psychosocial adjustment in overweight youngsters

Article Abstract:

Overweight adolescents have more behaviour problems than those of normal weight, according to research into the age-related changes and sex differences in behaviour problems and self-esteem. There are significant differences between boys and girls and between different age groups. Overweight children show more psychosocial difficulties, but these difficulties are generally minor. It is suggested that the significance and influence of being overweight may alter differentially for boys and girls as they go through adolescence.
