Dostupná literatúra ponúka informácie o súvislosti neurotizmu a extraverzie s poruchami príjmu potravy (PPP) aj iracionálnymi presvedčeniami (IP). Keďže IP aj PPP v teoretickej rovine spájajú spomenuté osobnostné črty, cieľom našej práce bolo empiricky zistiť, či existuje aj súvislosť medzi IP a PPP. Taktiež sme chceli overiť súvislosti medzi neurotizmom a extraverziou s IP a PPP. Našej štúdie sa zúčastnilo 68 žien, pričom 34 z nich malo diagnostikovanú niektorú zo skupiny PPP a 34 bolo zdravých žien. Pre zistenie miery IP sme použili škálu IPA a mieru neurotizmu a extraverzie sme zisťovali pomocou dotazníku EPQ-R. V našom výskumnom súbore sme potvrdili štatisticky významný stredne silný pozitívny vzťah (r = 0,49; p < 0,001; 95%CI [0,325; 1,000]) medzi mierou neurotizmu a IP. Potvrdili sme tiež signifikantný negatívny stredne silný vzťah (r = -0,38; p < 0,001; 95%CI [-0,190; -1,000]) medzi extraverziou a IP. Tieto osobnostné črty spolu vysvetľujú až 29,7 % variancie IP. U žien s PPP sme pozorovali signifikantne vyššiu mieru neu-rotizmu (M-W U = 213; p < 0,001; r = 0,63; 95%CI [0,767; 1,918]) a signifikantne nižšiu mieru extraverzie (t65 = -3,45; p < 0,001; r = -0,84; 95%CI [-1,359; -0,317]) v porovnaní so zdravými ženami. Ženy s PPP mali signifikantne viac IP ako zdravé ženy. Signifikantný stredne veľký rozdiel medzi ženami s PPP a zdravými ženami sme zistili pri hrubom skóre IP (t66= 1,82; p = 0,037; d = 0,44; 95%CI [-0,049; 0, 924]) a pri faktoroch idealizácie (t66 = 2,63; p = 0,005; d = 0,64; 95%CI [0, 135; 1,134]) a negatívnych očakávaní (t66 = 2,11; p = 0,019; d = 0,51; 95%CI [0,017; 0,999]). Naše zistenia sú v zhode s doterajšími poznatkami a dopĺňajú ich o nové súvislosti. Vyplýva z nich, že ženy s PPP dosahujú vyššie skóre v neurotizme, nižšie skóre v extraverzii a majú viac IP v porovnaní so zdravými ženami. Výsledky našej práce majú potenciál stať sa podkladom pre obohatenie psychologickej intervencie pri PPP a inšpirovať ku ďalšiemu skúmaniu IP.

The available literature offers information on the relationship between neuroticism, and extraversion with eating disorders (ED) as well as irrational beliefs (IB). Since IB and ED are at the theoretical level connected with the mentioned personality traits, the aim of our study was to empirically determine whether there is also a connection between IB and ED. As well, we wanted to verify the relationship between neuroticism and extraversion with IB and ED. 68 women participated in our study, 34 of them had been diagnosed with PPP, and 34 of them were healthy women. To determine the degree of IB, we used the IPA scale and the degree of neuroticism and extraversion were assessed by using the EPQ-R questionnaire. We confirmed a statistically significant moderately strong positive relationship (r = 0,49; p < 0,001; 95%CI [0,325; 1, 0]) between the degree of neuroticism and IB. We also confirmed a significant negative moderate relationship (r = -0,38; p < 0,001; 95%CI [-0,190; -1,000]) between extraversion and IB. These personality traits together explain up to 29,7% of IB variance. In women with ED, we observed a significantly higher rate of neuroticism (M-W U = 213; p < 0,001; r = 0,63; 95%CI [0,767; 1,918]) and a significantly lower rate of extraversion (t65 = -3,45; p < 0,001; r = -0, 84; 95%CI [-1,359; -0,317]), compared to healthy women. Women with ED had significantly more IB than healthy women. We found a significant moderate difference between women with ED and healthy women in the overall IB score (t66 = 1,82; p = 0,037; d = 0,44; 95%CI [-0,049; 0,924]) and in the factors of idealization (t66 = 2,63; p = 0,005; d = 0,64; 95%CI [0,135; 1,134]) and negative expectations (t66 = 2,11; p = 0,019; d = 0,51; 95%CI [0,017; 0,999]). Our findings are in line with previous knowledge and add new context. They show that women with PPP achieve higher scores in neuroticism, lower scores in extraversion and have more IB compared to healthy women. The results of our work have the potential to become the basis for enriching psychological intervention in ED and inspire further research into IB.
