Resumen
El propósito de este trabajo ha sido investigar el estilo de procesamiento emocional en mujeres obesas y normopesas. Se ha evaluado a 16 mujeres con obesidad y 16 normopesas en una tarea de memoria implícita de compleción de palabras. La tarea contenía palabras emocionales negativas, neutras y neutras acompañadas de un sonido (750 Hz) con el objetivo de introducir una señal distractora adicional. En la fase de estudio, las participantes tuvieron que valorar como agradable o desagradable el significado de cada palabra. En la fase de prueba, las pacientes obesas completaron antes las palabras emocionales. Por el contrario, fueron más lentas que el grupo control en completar las palabras neutras con sonido. Los resultados muestran una tendencia de las pacientes obesas al procesamiento automático e involuntario de la información emocional con valencia negativa y sesgos atencionales hacia información potencialmente amenazante. Este trabajo muestra la importancia de la atención y la memoria implícita en el procesamiento de información emocional en pacientes con obesidad.
