Background and Purpose: Adolescents, especially girls, in most cases, pay special attention to their body weight and shape, and often adopt wrong attitudes towards themselves, their feelings, and emotions in an effort to face the pressures associated with the changes of the critical and challenging period of puberty. They say that this exposure may cause eating behavior problems. Therefore, the present study aims to model the structure of binge eating based on self-compassion and impulsivity with the mediation of emotion regulation in female students with obesity.
Method: The research method was correlation using structural equation modeling. The research sample consisted of 300 teenage girls suffering from binge eating in District One of Tehran city in 2024, who were selected through convenience sampling. The research tools included the Persian version of the Binge Eating Scale (BES; Gormally et al, 1982), The Self-Compassion Scale (SCS; Neff, 2003), The Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) (Barat, 2009) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ, Gross & John, 2003). Data analysis was done with Pearson correlation tests and structural equations using SPSS₂₆ and AMOS₂₄software.
Results: Based on the results of the fit indices, the structural model of binge eating based on self-compassion and impulsivity with the mediation of emotion regulation had a good fit in female students with obesity. Also, reappraisal and suppression components had a negative and significant effect on self-compassion and a positive and significant effect on impulsivity, self-compassion had a negative and significant effect on binge eating, and impulsivity had a positive and significant effect on binge eating (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Emotion regulation is the reservoir of adolescents' response when faced with stressful factors, and binge eating disorder behaviors are a performance adjustment for adolescents who experience a high level of annoying emotions due to a lack of self-compassion and impulsive behaviors.
