The present cross-sectional study investigated whether psychological flexibility mediates the association between self-concealment and disordered eating (DE) symptoms among non-clinical college students. Data of 209 male and female participants (nfemale =165), aged 18-22 years old, were used for analyses. Self-concealment was found to be positively associated with DE symptoms (i.e., general eating disorder symptoms and eating disorder-related cognitions) and negatively associated with psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility was inversely associated with DE symptoms. Finally, psychological flexibility was found to mediate the association between self-concealment and DE symptoms after accounting for gender, ethnic background, and body mass index (BMI).
本横断面研究旨在探讨心理灵活性是否在非临床大学生的自我隐瞒与饮食障碍（ED）症状之间起中介作用。分析使用了 209 名年龄在 18-22 岁的男性和女性参与者（女性=165）的数据。研究发现，自我隐瞒与 ED 症状（即一般饮食障碍症状和与饮食障碍相关的认知）呈正相关，与心理灵活性呈负相关。心理灵活性与 ED 症状呈负相关。最后，在考虑了性别、种族背景和体重指数（BMI）后，发现心理灵活性在自我隐瞒与 ED 症状之间起中介作用。
