Resumen

POLLI, Gislei Mocelin  y  FREITAS, Maria de Fátima Quintal de. Social representations and psychosocial support networks among people with obesity. Bol. - Acad. Paul. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.40, n.99, pp.205-215. ISSN 1415-711X.

This study sought to know the Social Representations of Obesity and their treatments and to identify the psychosocial support networks accessed by overweight and obese people. The study was divided into two stages, with an online questionnaire applied to 57 people in the first stage, and an interview with 15 women in the second stage. The data underwent descriptive, content, and lexicographic analyses. Obesity was considered a source of physical, social, and psychological limitations, and its treatments were considered either as a hope or as ineffective. People indicated that they prefer a support network of people who are also obese, indicating the emergence of a sense of community.

Palabras clave : Community Social Psychology; Social representations; Psychosocial support network; obesity; treatments.
