Abstract

The growing rates of obesity in both developed and developing countries are alarming. Most studies on obesity mainly focus on individuals in developed countries with ready access to food. Limited studies explore obesity in developing countries with limited access to healthier foods. In addition, studies show self-acceptance and self-efficacy are essential to healthier well-being. The purpose of this study is (a) to explore the impact of self-acceptance on individuals' self-efficacy to weight management and (b) to investigate the impact of self-efficacy on individuals' attitude and intention in regard to weight managements. Using data from Indonesia (N = 499), the respondents are divided based on their body mass index. The results show that self-acceptance significantly influenced individuals' self-efficacy, especially for individuals who are obese. Furthermore, self-efficacy did not influence individual attitude toward weight management. Finally, attitude toward weight management only influenced people who are obese and not individuals who are overweight. The results of this study will have significant implications to government, social marketers, and not-for-profit organizations in fighting the epidemic in developing countries.

在一个发展中国家调查自我接纳和自我效能对体重管理的重要性

发达国家和发展中国家日益增长的肥胖率令人担忧。大多数关于肥胖的研究主要集中在发达国家的个人，他们有现成的食物。有限的研究探讨了发展中国家的肥胖问题，这些国家获得健康食品的机会有限。此外，研究表明，自我接纳和自我效能对健康的幸福感至关重要。本研究的目的是:(a)探讨自我接纳对个体体重管理自我效能的影响;(b)探讨自我效能对个体体重管理态度和意向的影响。使用来自印度尼西亚的数据(N = 499)，根据他们的身体质量指数对受访者进行划分。结果表明，自我接纳显著影响个体的自我效能感，尤其是肥胖个体。此外，自我效能感并不影响个体对体重管理的态度。最后，对体重管理的态度只影响了肥胖的人，而对超重的人没有影响。这项研究的结果将对发展中国家的政府、社会营销人员和非营利组织防治这一流行病产生重大影响。
