Overweight subjects unsatisfied with their own body show remarkably lower indices of viability, and in personally important situations of all coping strategies they use the strategies of avoidance and taking responsibility more often rather than the strategy of planning to solve the problem. This group of subjects have the attitude to a body that is in a negative correlation towards viability indices and such coping strategies as the planning of problem solving, positive reassessment, and self-control.
