Resumo: |
Possessing a Body Mass Index (BMI) categorized as obese and taking care of physical appearance may be two irreconcilable characteristics among fat individuals. Therefore, the overall objective of this research is to understand what type of relation exists between the body weight of these individuals and the act of acquiring and wearing clothes. This research uses the concept of persona from Jungian Psychology to understand this issue in a psychological perspective. The methodology used involves semi-structured interviews and the measurement of the Body Mass Index of 40 males and 40 females, distributed between five BMI categories: normal range, overweight and obesity classes I, II and III. The data was analyzed by crossing the closed questions that stood out in terms of percentage with the verbalizations of the participants aimed at justifying their choices. We have found a linear relation between the BMI and the following variables: the feeling of exclusion, difficulty in finding clothes of adequate size and dissatisfaction with body weight. Worrying about body weight causes suffering not only in participants with obese BMI, but also in participants with normal BMI and overweight BMI |
