Resumen

Antecedentes: La valoración de la delgadez y sesgo hacia las personas con sobrepeso, pueden promover menor valoración del cuerpo y estilos de alimentación desadaptativos; la autocompasión podría actuar mitigando estas relaciones. Objetivo: comprender la asociación entre apreciación corporal, internalización del sesgo del peso y estilos de alimentación (EA), así como el rol que cumple una actitud autocompasiva en la apreciación corporal. Método: Estudio correlacional, transversal, en el que participaron 837 adultos residentes en Chile. En el análisis de datos se empleó regresión múltiple y análisis de mediación. Resultados: La apreciación corporal y la internalización del sesgo del peso predijeron EA emocional (β =-,126; p <,001 y β =,146 p <,001, respectivamente), EA externo (β =-,095; p < ,001 y β =,064 p < ,001, respectivamente) y EA restrictivo (β =,134; p < ,001 y β =,258; p <,001, respectivamente). La autocompasión medió la relación entre internalización del sesgo del peso y apreciación corporal (β = -,133; IC:[-,157; -0,11]). Conclusiones: La valoración del cuerpo y la internalización del sesgo del peso influyen en los EA, y una actitud compasiva hacia sí mismo media en el efecto del sesgo del peso sobre la devaluación hacia el propio cuerpo.
