186 New Insights into the Prevention and Treatment of Bulimia Nervosa Table 4 shows data from Spearman correlation between personality trait and problem appraisal for case and control groups. In the control group, the personality trait of neuroticism is associated with the appraisal of the problem as a threat. Thus, in this group, individuals with higher neuroticism personality trait tend to appraise more experiencing the problem as a threat (r = 0.20, p
Personality and Coping in Groups With and Without Bulimic Behaviors may have contributed to minimize the statistical effect of this difference between the groups. Therefore studies with a larger number of subjects and using other instruments could demonstrate a significant difference, since this study uses a small sample size and a cross sectional data collection. However, beside that, data shows that bulimic subjects are less neurotic and more extroverted when compared with general population. That is of interesting especially because, in some sense, it demonstrate a common sense that obese people are more extroverted than others. That could be of interested for future studies. Nevertheless, the data seems to indicate that, although this difference was not significant between both groups, the influence of personality traits on the perception of the problem as well as on ways of coping with problems occurs differentially. Thus, although no significant difference was observed between personality traits of both groups, this small difference seems to produce differential relations in perceptions and behaviors of individuals when dealing with their problems. The data is discussed in the light of coping and personality theories. We also discuss the need for psychological interventions based on the development of coping skills and geared towards the care of patients with bulimia. We also discuss the need for psychological interventions directed towards the care of patients with bulimia that direct their aims to the development of coping abilities, which will widen their behavioral repertoire regarding ways of facing problems, and which may lead to changes in the ways of perceiving and relating to the environment, as well as higher assertiveness in order to develop a stronger emotional self-control and self-confidence. 5.
