Despite growing interest in intuitive eating-a non-dieting approach to eating that is based on feeding the body in accordance with physiological and satiety cues-research on its determinants is scarce. The present study aimed to examine the associations between dimensions of adult attachment (i.e., anxiety and avoidance) and intuitive eating, and the mediating role of self-compassion in these relationships. The sample comprised 201 French-Canadian young adult women (M = 25.1, SD = 4.6). Participants completed self-report questionnaires through an online survey. Results of the structural equation model demonstrated that attachment-related anxiety and avoidance were negatively associated with intuitive eating, and these relationships were at least partially mediated by self-compassion. Findings suggest that women who have high levels of attachment anxiety or avoidance engage in less intuitive eating partly because they are less self-compassionate. Results highlight the importance of self-compassion in facilitating adaptive eating behaviors in adult women, especially if they have an insecure attachment style to romantic partners.
尽管人们对直觉饮食（一种非节食的进食方法，基于根据生理和饱腹感提示来喂养身体）越来越感兴趣，但关于其决定因素的研究却很少。本研究旨在探讨成人依恋（即焦虑和回避）的各个维度与直觉饮食之间的关系，以及自我同情在这些关系中的中介作用。样本包括 201 名加拿大法语年轻成年女性（M = 25.1，SD = 4.6）。参与者通过在线调查完成了自我报告问卷。结构方程模型的结果表明，与依恋相关的焦虑和回避与直觉饮食呈负相关，并且这些关系至少部分通过自我同情来介导。研究结果表明，具有较高依恋焦虑或回避的女性较少采用直觉饮食，部分原因是她们的自我同情程度较低。研究结果强调了自我同情在促进成年女性适应性饮食行为方面的重要性，特别是如果她们对浪漫伴侣的依恋方式不安全的话。
