Abstract

Objective : This study was conducted to confirm general differences in eating attitudes according to the sensory processing characteristics of women. Methods : The Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) and the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26) were used to survey 241 women. Their eating attitudes according to the sensory processing characteristics was analyzed using an independent t-test and one-way ANOVA, and the post-analysis was performed using the Scheffe test. Results : Among the sensory processing characteristics, except for eating control due to low registration, binge-eating and foodlessness due to sensory avoidance, all eating attitudes were significantly different according to sensory processing characteristics (p<.05). The anorexic behaviour, binge-eating and foodlessness was shown to be negative in cases of those who had much lower registration than most people. All eating attitudes, such as anorexia, binge-eating and foodlessness, and eating control, were shown to be negative in cases of women whose sensation seeking was equal to or much greater than the general population. The binge-eating and foodlessness were shown to be negative in cases of high sensory sensitivity. The anorexic behaviour was shown to be negative in cases of elevated sensory avoidance. Conclusion : Eating attitudes differed depending on the sensory processing characteristics. As such, sensory integration mediation can be proposed as a method of controlling the eating attitudes of women in general.

목적 : 일반 여성의 감각처리 특성에 따른 섭식 태도의 차이를 확인하였다. 연구방법 : 241명의 일반 여성을 대상으로 청소년/성인 감각프로파일(Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile; AASP)과 섭식 태도 검사(Eating Attitude Test; EAT-26)를 이용하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 감각처리 특성에 따른 섭식 태도는 독립표본 t-검정과 일원배치분산분석(one-way ANOVA)을 사용하여 분석하였고, 사후분석은 Scheffe Test를 실시하였다. 결과 : 감각처리 특성 중 등록저하와 섭식 통제, 감각회피와 폭식 및 음식몰두를 제외하면, 감각처리 특성에 따라 섭식 태도는 모두 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.05). 등록저하가 대부분의 사람보다 (매우) 많은 경우 거식과 폭식 및 음식몰두의 태도가 부정적인 것으로 나타났고, 감각추구가 대부분의 사람과 유사하거나 (매우) 많은 경우 모든 섭식 태도가 부정적인 것으로 나타났다. 감각민감성이 대부분의 사람보다 (매우) 많은 경우 폭식 및 음식몰두의 태도가 부정적인 것으로 나타났으며, 감각회피가 대부분의 사람보다 (매우) 많은 경우 거식의 태도가 부정적인 것으로 나타났다. 결론 : 감각처리 특성에 따라 섭식 태도에 차이가 있었으며, 이를 토대로 일반 여성들의 섭식 태도를 조절하기 위한 하나의 방안으로 감각통합 중재를 제안할 수 있다.
