Abstract: (65 Views)
Objective: The present study was conducted to make a comparison between the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy and emotion-focused therapy on Physical-social anxiety in obese individuals.
Materials and Methods: The research method was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test/post-test design and follow-up with a control group. 45 women aged 20 to 30 were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and a control group (15 people in each group). Then, the experimental groups were treated for 8 treatment sessions, 90 minutes each week.
Results: The results showed, there was a significant difference between the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy and emotion- focused therapy on Physical-social anxiety in obese women. Accordingly, acceptance and commitment therapy was more effective than emotion-focused therapy in reducing Physical-social anxiety in obese individuals.
Conclusion: Acceptance and commitment therapy and emotion-focused therapy can be effective strategies for reducing socio-physical anxiety in overweight women.
