“…The combination of maternal neglectful parenting with paternal optimal parenting was associated with the highest relative risk for BED, while maternal affectionate constraint alone had a protective effect. Although with low strength, this evidence coupled with lower levels of maternal and paternal care in BED, is consistent with previous literature suggesting a role of parental neglect in the pathogenesis of BED like in many other psychiatric conditions (Amianto, Ercole, et al, 2016; Mannarini et al, 2018; Sokol et al, 2017).…”

“…However, the study by Grenon et al (2016) in a large population of adult ED participants found low maternal care to have a direct effect on body dissatisfaction while low paternal care to have an indirect effect mediated by attachment anxiety and media internalization. Previous research has found that a parenting style characterized by a combination of low care and high overprotection was associated with schizotypy and anxiety (Giakoumaki et al, 2013), internalizing and externalizing symptoms (Mannarini et al, 2018), and high neuroticism (Takahashi et al, 2017).…”

Objective: Obesity is rising globally with a heavy health and economic burden. Early attachment experiences are relevant to the development of obesity. The purpose of this study was to investigate if parental care and attachment style experienced in childhood is associated with obesity, with or without binge eating disorder (BED), in adulthood. Method: Parental style, personality traits, and psychopathology were assessed in 810 clinically referred adults with obesity, of whom 357 with BED and 453 without BED (non-BED), and 463 healthy subjects (HS). Assessments included the Parental Bonding Instrument, Temperament and Character Inventory, Eating Disorder Inventory-2, Symptom Checklist-90 and Beck Depression Inventory-II. Results: Both BED and non-BED reported lower maternal and paternal care and higher overprotection than HS. BED reported worse levels of parental care than non-BED and HS. 'Affectionless control' parenting style was more frequently reported by both BED and non-BED than HS. No significant differences in parenting style emerged between BED and non-BED. Conclusions: Perception of parental 'affectionless control' was associated with obesity in adults, and lower quality of parental care was more frequently reported by participants with BED. Parental style may constitute an important target for early interventions to prevent obesity.

“…The perception of one's own family as poor in parental bonding because of a lack of care, or because of high overprotection can hamper emotional development and result in less functional ways of regulating personal emotions. 72, 73 Some studies showed that parental behaviors, such as psychological control, restrict the development of emotional intelligence, which can result in internalization or externalization of problems. Thus, the experience of unbalanced family functioning might make it more problematic to develop a positive model of the self and to manage one's own emotions.…”

Background: The functioning of the family of origin seems to be one of the key variables that contribute to life satisfaction. Since relationships with one's parents are associated with well-being throughout life, the purpose of our study was to examine the association between family functioning and life satisfaction among Polish adults. Moreover, because some researchers postulate that family functioning affects quality of life directly as well as indirectly through some other variables, we focused on investigating how emotional intelligence might affect the link between family functioning and life satisfaction, as the character of this relationship has received surprisingly little attention. Patients, Methods and Data Collection:The sample consisted of 204 participants (86% women). We measured family functioning, satisfaction with life, and emotional intelligence. The data were collected using online forums through convenience sampling on the basis of availability and the willingness of the participants to respond. Results: The results showed that both life satisfaction and emotional intelligence correlated positively and significantly with cohesion, flexibility, communication, and family satisfaction. Life satisfaction correlated negatively and significantly with enmeshed, disengaged, and chaotic functioning. In contrast, emotional intelligence correlated negatively and significantly only with chaotic and disengaged functioning. Moreover, emotional intelligence partially mediated the relationship between six dimensions of family functioning (cohesion, flexibility, communication, family satisfaction, disengagement, and chaos) and life satisfaction. Conclusion: Our findings provide evidence of an indirect association between family functioning and life satisfaction through the mediating role of emotional intelligence. They indicate that individuals who evaluate their family functioning as cohesive, flexible, communicative, and fulfilled, are more likely to process their own emotions and enjoy higher life satisfaction. Conversely, assessment of family of origin as disengaged and chaotic may diminish the ability to manage one's own emotions, which, in turn, can lead to lower life satisfaction.

“…The observed variables were expected to be related in different ways to the participants' roles. In the psychological and medical literature, LCA has been largely applied in past and recent years [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. Once the latent structure is identified, LCA allows entering other variables in the model as covariates that might influence the latent structure; these are called external variables.…”

Background The main purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of schizophrenia in different categories of persons (directly and/or indirectly) involved with it. Hypotheses were made concerning the definition of a multi-class structure where each class should identify a profile characteristic of each respondent’s specific role, (e.g.: mental health professional, relative, patient, and student) and specific indicators of schizophrenia (e.g.: causal beliefs, eligible treatments, social distance, perceived dangerousness and public avoidance). Methods This study involved 577 participants all in contact with schizophrenia with different roles. A Latent Class Analysis (LCA) was applied to define a latent structure of schizophrenia aspects. Such structure was expected be affected by the interaction between respondents’ roles, as external variable, and schizophrenia indicators as manifest variables. Results A four-latent-class structure representing the four respondents’ roles was evidenced, further each class was characterized by schizophrenia indicators representing a profile for each role. Analogies and differences of views and preferences of the respondents’ roles concerning schizophrenia emerged clearly. Conclusions The four groups of people involved with schizophrenia with different roles demonstrated to interact significantly with specific indicators of schizophrenia shedding new lights on the understanding of schizophrenia in its complexity.
