RESUMO:

Obesity and overweight are a growing public health problem, current treatments are
based on nutritional approaches and behavioral changes, but weight regain rates in
this population are still high. Factors such as difficulties in emotional regulation and in
some executive functions influence the eating pattern adopted by this population.
Given the above, this research evaluated the effectiveness of an intervention based
on Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy (CBT) in conjunction with computerized
training for executive function in obese and overweight individuals. It is also intended
to evaluate the correlation between emotional dysregulation, impulsivity and eating
patterns. The intervention has a convenience sample, consisting of 18 participants
randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group. Data collection was
carried out using the following scales: Tree Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ-R21),
to assess eating behavior, Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS) to assess
difficulties in emotional regulation; Impulsivity Rating Scale (ESAVI), to assess
impulsivity. The results found indicated that, regardless of the group, changes occurred
in the evaluated domains. A positive correlation was found in the experimental group
between emotional eating and emotional dysregulation. The intervention associating
CBT for emotional regulation with executive functions training did not prove to be
superior to the intervention applied alone. The findings of this study support the
hypotheses of the association between difficulties in eating behavior and emotional
regulation and that therapeutic interventions based on behavioral change and
emotional regulation can enable improvements in eating behavior.
