Experiential avoidance, the refusal to accept contact with unpleasant private experiences, is believed to play a role in the onset and maintenance of eating disorders. Preliminary evidence suggests that mindfulness- and acceptance-based interventions that reduce avoidance may be effective in treating disordered eating behaviors. The purpose of the current investigation was to examine whether one form of experiential avoidance (thought suppression) and the theoretically opposing construct of dispositional mindfulness are associated with bulimic symptoms. Undergraduate men (n=219) and women (n=187) completed questionnaires assessing mindful attention and awareness, chronic thought suppression, and bulimic symptoms. A series of hierarchical regression analyses revealed that thought suppression and mindfulness accounted for unique variance in bulimic symptoms among men and women after accounting for BMI. Results are discussed in terms of the role of dispositional mindfulness and thought suppression in disordered eating.
经验性回避，即拒绝接受与不愉快的个人经历接触，被认为在饮食失调的发生和维持中起作用。初步证据表明，基于正念和接纳的干预措施，即减少回避的干预措施，可能对治疗饮食紊乱行为有效。本研究的目的是检验一种经验性回避形式（思维抑制）以及与之理论上相反的特质正念结构是否与暴食症状相关。本科男性（n = 219）和女性（n = 187）完成了评估正念注意力和觉察力、长期思维抑制以及暴食症状的问卷。一系列层次回归分析表明，在考虑体重指数后，思维抑制和正念在男性和女性的暴食症状中解释了独特的变异。将根据特质正念和思维抑制在饮食失调中的作用来讨论研究结果。
