Attitude to health as an indicator of basic needs satisfaction among overweight female teachers

In modern conditions, the study of self-attitude and attitude to health among middle-aged overweight women is relevant in practical terms, since it is an important condition for full psychological health. This paper aims to study attitude to health as an indicator of basic needs satisfaction among overweight teachers. Body mass index, attitude to health, and satisfaction of needs were taken as the major parameters for the analysis of empirical materials. The study involved fifty female teachers aged from 31 to 34. It was revealed that the system-forming component of overweight women is “the need for safety”. The research results can be used by psychologists and fitness instructors in the development of correctional approaches, educational programs on a healthy lifestyle, training sessions, weight management programs, as well as during the consulting of female teachers.
