Objective: 

Built on Rosenbaum's self-control theory, this study aimed to examine the mediating role of self-control skills in the relationship between perceived stress and overeating patterns among adolescents from an Asia-Pacific region.

Methods: 

A cross-sectional study was used with a school-based, nonclinical sample of 195 adolescents. Participants completed self-report measures assessing study variables and demographic information such as body mass index (BMI) status for adolescents and their parents. Mediation analyses were conducted with Hayes' PROCESS macro modeling tool to assess self-control skills as the mediator of the relationships between perceived stress and each overeating pattern based on the regression-based bootstrapping method, adjusting for potential covariates.

Results: 

The prevalence of overweight and obesity was approximately 18% in the current sample of adolescents. While controlling for age, sex, and standardized BMI, self-control skills mediated the effects of stress on emotional and external eating, but not on restrained eating; in addition, self-control skills partially mediated the relationship between perceived stress and an overall overeating tendency.

Conclusion: 

Consistent with Rosenbaum's self-control theory, self-control skills were found to mediate the relationship between perceived stress and emotional and external eating. This study highlights the importance of prevention treatments developed to impart adolescents with self-control skills, decrease their perceived stress, and consequently, reduce their overeating patterns during this intense developmental period.

了解亚洲青少年压力感知、自控能力和暴饮暴食之间的关联

客观的： 

本研究以罗森鲍姆的自我控制理论为基础，旨在探讨亚太地区青少年自我控制技能在感知压力与暴饮暴食模式之间关系中的中介作用。

方法： 

一项横断面研究以学校为基础，以 195 名青少年为非临床样本。参与者完成自我报告措施，评估研究变量和人口统计信息，例如青少年及其父母的体重指数 (BMI) 状况。使用 Hayes 的 PROCESS 宏观建模工具进行中介分析，以评估自我控制技能作为感知压力与每种暴饮暴食模式之间关系的中介，基于基于回归的引导方法，调整潜在的协变量。

结果： 

目前青少年样本中超重和肥胖的患病率约为18% 。在控制年龄、性别和标准化体重指数的同时，自我控制技能调节了压力对情绪和外在饮食的影响，但对克制饮食没有影响；此外，自我控制能力在一定程度上调节了感知压力和整体暴饮暴食倾向之间的关系。

结论： 

与罗森鲍姆的自我控制理论一致，人们发现自我控制技能可以调节感知压力与情绪和外在饮食之间的关系。这项研究强调了预防治疗的重要性，这些治疗旨在向青少年传授自我控制技能，减少他们感知到的压力，从而减少他们在这个激烈的发展时期的暴饮暴食模式。
