Resumen

Ante el aumento del porcentaje de sobrepeso y obesidad a nivel mundial, el control de peso es una conducta primordial de promoción de salud. La presente investigación integra el modelo de personalidad Grit, la teoría de la autodeterminación y el modelo transteórico del cambio para tratar de comprender la conducta del control de peso: El objetivo del trabajo consistió en evaluar la personalidad Grit y la motivación como antecedentes psicológicos de las etapas de cambio para el control de peso. Participaron 1351 adultos de México entre 18 y 65 años, quienes cumplimentaron un paquete de cuestionarios con las variables de interés. Los resultados mostraron que la personalidad Grit se relacionó positiva y significativamente con las etapas de mantenimiento, acción, preparación y contemplación y de manera negativa y significativa con la etapa de precontemplación, a través de los tipos de motivación (autónoma, controlada y no motivación), sugiriendo que la personalidad Grit y la motivación son atributos importantes a tener en cuenta en el cambio hacia el control de peso. Este estudio provee de herramientas para la comprensión de la adherencia del control de peso a los profesionales implicados en la consulta nutricional y así promover un mejor abordaje interdisciplinar del sobrepeso y la obesidad.
