Abstract EN

The present study aimed to show the relationship between binge eating disorder and its relationship to body image and self-esteem students with learning difficulties and that one of the causes of double food binge in students is learning difficulties.

To compensate and get rid of stress, avoid failure and escape from academic tasks with food, and circumvent learning difficulties by preparing dishes and eating food.

Studies indicate a direct relationship between food binge and learning difficulties, and its impact on the life of a teenager with learning difficulties, which then affects his body image and self-concept.

As a result of its consequences on its health and its apparent effect on body shape, this study was applied to 200 students in public schools in Amman who suffer from learning difficulties and take their classes in resource rooms.

The sample was distributed (189) males (100) females (89).

A scale was developed to measure Binge eating in adolescents from the age of 11 to 16 years, based on the DSM5 criteria.

The amendment of the Helmrich-Stubb and Irvine scale includes 21 items to measure self-esteem, and reliability was applied to a sample of 30 students to ensure the stability of the scale and the method of application was individually.

The level of binge eating in adolescents from learning difficulties is high and as a result of this increase, the study confirmed the existence of a relationship and the effect of this disorder on self-esteem and body image only.
