“…Such findings are in accord with prior evaluations of problematic eating behavior (e.g., Spoor et al, 2007; Lattimore et al, 2011; Hayaki, 2009; Fischer et al, 2004), and extend previous work to the context of obesity. Negative reinforcement eating expectancies were also found to mediate the effects of all three kinds of experiential avoidance on disinhibition.…”

“…The acquired preparedness model (Smith & Anderson, 2001) suggests that individuals’ dispositions and traits may put them at risk for developing maladaptive behavioral patterns by promoting learned expectations regarding consequences of behaviors. Both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies provide support for the relevance of expectancies in predicting maladaptive eating patterns (Fischer, Anderson & Smith, 2004; 2010; Simmons, 1997; Smith, Simmons, Flory, Annus, & Hill, 2007; Hayaki, 2009). Research also supports the applicability of the acquired preparedness model, in particular, to describe numerous maladaptive behaviors, including eating disorder symptoms (Combs, Pearson & Smith, 2011; Combs, Smith, Flory, Simmons, & Hill, 2010; Combs, Smith, & Simmons, 2011; Pearson, Combs, Zapolski, & Smith, 2012).…”

“…Experiential avoidance refers to a tendency to suppress or minimize uncomfortable internal experiences (e.g., thoughts, emotions, sensations, memories) (Chawla & Ostafin, 2007; Hayes, Wilson, Gifford, Follette, & Strosahl, 1996). A growing body of research implicates experiential avoidance in the development and maintenance of a variety of eating difficulties (Butryn et al, 2013; Hayaki, 2009; Lillis, Hayes, & Levin, 2011). Theoretically, experiential avoidance may confer risk for eating in response to situations or cues that prompt uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, or urges in an effort to mitigate distress.…”

Objectives Eating-related disinhibition (i.e. a tendency to overeat in response to various stimuli) is associated with weight gain and poorer long-term weight loss success. Theoretically, experiential avoidance (i.e., the desire or attempts to avoid uncomfortable internal experiences), may predispose individuals to developing negative reinforcement eating expectancies (i.e., the belief that eating will help to mitigate distress), which in turn promote disinhibition. Such relationships are consistent with an acquired preparedness model, which posits that dispositions influence learning and subsequent behavior. Drawing from this framework, the current study represents the first investigation of relations between negative reinforcement eating expectancies, experiential avoidance (both general and food-specific) and disinhibited eating. In particular, the mediating role of negative reinforcement eating expectancies in the relation between experiential avoidance and disinhibited eating was examined. Method Participants (N = 107) were overweight and obese individuals presenting for behavioral weight loss treatment who completed measures of general and food-related experiential avoidance, negative reinforcement eating expectancies, and disinhibition. Results Experiential avoidance and negative reinforcement eating expectancies significantly related to disinhibition. Furthermore, the relation between experiential avoidance and disinhibition was mediated by negative reinforcement eating expectancies. Discussion The current study supports an acquired preparedness model for disinhibition, such that the relation between experiential avoidance and disinhibition is accounted for by expectations that eating will alleviate distress. Findings highlight the potential role of eating expectancies in models accounting for obesity risk, and identify negative reinforcement eating expectancies as a potential treatment target for reducing disinhibition.

“…The present ACT intervention was also consistent with literature on emotion regulation and its role in disordered eating, which suggests that binge eating functions as a method of attempting to escape or distract oneself from difficult thoughts and emotions (Hayaki, 2009;Polivy & Herman, 2002). In practice, various ACT techniques were used to undermine the rigid use of these regulation strategies so that they did not interfere with daily functioning, while also helping to shift participants' focus to pursuing values-consistent living.…”

“…En este sentido, como hemos señalado, se podría considerar a los TCA como estrategias de regulación emocional inadecuadas. Así, las personas con un TCA pueden tener dificultades importantes en el manejo y regulación de las emociones, especialmente de las negativas (Hayaki, 2009;Pascual, Etxebarria, Cruz y Echeburúa, 2011;Waller et al, 2010). Entre las variables emocionales que más interés han despertado en el estudio de los TCA se encuentran la alexitimia y la ansiedad.…”

Resumen: El objetivo del presente trabajo fue estimar la prevalencia de riesgo de trastorno de la conducta alimentaria en una muestra de 767 mujeres de 16 a 20 años, así como estudiar las diferencias entre las adolescentes de alto y bajo riesgo en diferentes variables (sociodemográficas, antropométricas, percepción de la imagen corporal, sobrevaloración de la delgadez, consumo de sustancias, alexitimia y ansiedad). La prevalencia de mujeres adolescentes de alto riesgo fue del 15%. Según los resultados obtenidos, el peso, el índice de masa corporal, la percepción de la imagen corporal y la sobrevaloración de la delgadez eran factores relevantes en las adolescentes con alto riesgo de trastorno alimentario. Asimismo un mayor porcentaje de adolescentes de alto riesgo fumaban, habían probado drogas de síntesis y habían empezado antes a consumir alcohol. También se obtuvieron mayores niveles de alexitimia y ansiedad en estas adolescentes de alto riesgo. Estos resultados sugieren que la prevención de los trastornos alimentarios debería incluir, además de educación nutricional e información sobre el efecto nocivo de la interiorización del ideal de delgadez extrema imperante, técnicas de expresión y regulación emocional a fin de que no tengan que recurrir a conductas inadecuadas de control del peso y de la imagen corporal. Palabras clave: Riesgo de trastorno alimentario; consumo de sustancias; alexitimia; ansiedad; adolescencia.Title: Risk of eating disorders, consumption of addictive substances and emotional difficulties in adolescent girls. Abstract: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of risk of developing eating disorders in a sample of 767 adolescent girls aged between 16 and 20, and to study the differences between adolescent girls at high risk and low risk of developing eating disorders in relation to different variables (sociodemographic, anthropometric, body image perception, overvaluation of thinness, substance consumption, alexithymia and anxiety). The prevalence of adolescent girls at high risk was found to be 15%. The results revealed that weight, BMI, body image perception and overvaluation of thinness were key factors in adolescent girls at high risk of developing eating disorders. Also, a higher percentage of at high risk adolescent girls smoked, had tried synthetic drugs and started drinking alcohol at a younger age. Higher levels of alexithymia and anxiety were also found in at-risk adolescents. These results suggest that, in addition to nutritional education and information about the effects of internalizing the thin ideal on adolescent personalities, eating disorders prevention programs should also include techniques for expressing and regulating emotions, in order to prevent young girls from turning to inappropriate weight and body image control behaviors.

Negative reinforcement eating expectancies, emotion dysregulation, and symptoms of bulimia nervosa

Abstract: These results suggest that individuals who expect eating to provide emotional relief may be especially susceptible to disordered eating. Findings are discussed in terms of emotional risk models and clinical interventions for BN.
