Aim and Background: Binge eating disorder (BED) is one of the most common eating disorders. Numerous factors such as aggression, rumination, anger, and anger rumination are associated with BED. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of schema therapy on anger rumination and aggression in men with binge eating disorder.
Methods and Materials: This quasi-experimental study was a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of all men with BED who are members of the Mashhad Overeaters Anonymous (OA) association in 2020. Twenty four of them were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly placed in two groups (experiment and control groups). Pre-test was performed for both groups, including anger rumination scale (ARS) and aggression questionnaire (AQ). The control group did not receive any intervention. Post-test was completed for both groups and the results were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance.
Findings: The results showed that schema therapy reduces anger rumination and aggression in people with BED in the experimental group compared to the control group. (p <.01).
Conclusions: Based on the results of the present study, it can be said that therapists can use this treatment to reduce anger rumination and aggression in people with BED.
