美国三分之二的成年人超重或肥胖。暴饮暴食是治疗依从性和持续减肥的障碍，可以被视为一种经验性回避。目前的研究分析了暴饮暴食对减肥的影响，在先前发表的一项为期1天的接受和承诺疗法（ACT）研讨会（N = 83）的研究中，以及暴饮暴食结果的心理过程。ACT参与者报告的暴饮暴食减少，这反过来又显着介导了体重的变化。中介分析还表明，减少暴饮暴食介导的经验回避的变化。该研究表明，ACT及其目标变化过程可能与暴饮暴食特别相关，并且针对暴饮暴食是改善体重管理的可能途径。
Two thirds of the adults in the United States are overweight or obese. Binge eating is a barrier to treatment adherence and sustained weight loss, and can be seen as a form of experiential avoidance. The current study analyzed the impact of binge eating on weight reduction in a previously published study of a 1-day acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) workshop (N = 83) and the psychological processes accounting for the binge-eating results. ACT participants reported less binge eating, which in turn significantly mediated changes in weight. Mediation analyses also showed that reductions in binge eating were mediated by changes in experiential avoidance. The study suggests that ACT and its targeted processes of change may be particularly relevant to binge eating, and that targeting binging is a possible pathway for improving weight management.
