Resumo
Tem sido contínua a investigação sobre o Comportamento Alimentar, continuando a existir uma elevada prevalência das perturbações da alimentação e da ingestão na população portuguesa. Estas perturbações têm um elevado impacto afetando a saúde física e psicológica, bem como a vida social de muitas pessoas. A amostra do presente estudo foi constituída por 285 participantes, de ambos os sexos, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 80 anos. O objetivo foi explorar a associação da Personalidade tipo D, constituída pela inibição social e pela afetividade negativa, com as variáveis de escolha alimentar, e sintomas de ingestão alimentar compulsiva. Exploraram-se as diferenças entre grupos com Personalidade Tipo D e sem Personalidade Tipo D, bem como as diferenças entre grupos com mais e menos ingestão alimentar compulsiva. Os resultados revelaram a existência de associações entre a ingestão compulsiva e o humor; humor e apelo sensorial; humor e ingestão compulsiva; afetividade negativa e humor; afetividade negativa e apelo sensorial; inibição social e apelo sensorial; afetividade negativa e ingestão compulsiva; inibição social e ingestão compulsiva; inibição social e afetividade negativa; e correlações negativas entre a inibição social com o humor, a ingestão compulsiva e o apelo sensorial. O presente estudo demonstrou ainda que os indivíduos com mais sintomas de ingestão alimentar compulsiva apresentam um maior índice de massa corporal, têm mais inibição social, mais afetividade negativa, apresentam mais preocupações com o corpo e fazem mais escolhas alimentares baseadas no humor. Verificou-se igualmente que os indivíduos com Personalidade Tipo D apresentam valores superiores nas preocupações com o corpo e ingestão compulsiva em comparação com os indivíduos sem Personalidade Tipo D. Estes resultados sugerem a existência de uma relação entre o tipo D, as escolhas alimentares e a ingestão alimentar.

Research on eating behaviour has been ongoing, and there continues to be a high prevalence of eating and eating disorders in the Portuguese population. These disorders have a high impact affecting the physical and psychological health, as well as the social life of many people. The sample of this study consisted of 285 participants of both genders, aged between 18 and 80 years old. The aim was to explore the association of Type D Personality, consisting of social inhibition and negative affectivity, with food choice variables, and binge eating symptoms. Differences between groups with Type D Personality and without Type D Personality were explored, as well as differences between groups with more and less binge eating. The results revealed the existence of positive associations between binge eating and mood; mood and sensory appeal; mood and binge eating; negative affectivity and mood; negative affectivity and sensory appeal; social inhibition and sensory appeal; negative affectivity and compulsive eating; social inhibition and compulsive eating; social inhibition and negative affectivity; and negative correlations between social inhibition with mood, binge eating, and sensory appeal. This study also showed that individuals with more binge eating have a higher body mass index, have more social inhibition, more negative affectivity, more body preoccupations, and make more mood-based food choices. It was also found that individuals with Type D personality have higher values for body concerns and compulsive eating compared to individuals without Type D personality. These results suggest that there in fact a relationship between personality type D, food choices and food intake. . Keywords: Personality, Binge Eating, Type D Personality, Humor, Sensory Appeal, Health, Negative Affectivity, Social Inhibition.
