Resumo: Research on human development and functioning has highlighted the importance of earlyemotional and relational experiences. Particularly, an association between the absenceof early positive memories and the presence of disordered eating has been evidenced byrecent investigations. However, the study of the mechanisms underlying this associationremains unclear.Using a sample of 490 women, the hypothesis that early positive memories are negativelyassociated with disordered eating via social safeness and a positive relationship withone’s body image was tested via path analysis. The tested model explained 51% of eatingpsychopathology’s variance, and revealed a good adjustment to the empirical data. Additionally, social safeness and body appreciation were revealed as mediators of the impact of early warm and safe memories on disordered eating, when controlling for the effect of BMI.These findings suggest the importance of targeting social safeness and acceptance, especiallywhen defining potentially effective programmes for the prevention of eating disorders.

Paralelamente, estudos recentes evidenciaram a relação entre escassez de memórias positivas precoces e o comportamento alimentar perturbado.No entanto, o estudo dos mecanismos subjacentes a esta associação permanece limitado. Este estudo testou um modelo que hipotetiza que memórias positivas precoces estão negativamente associadas à psicopatologia alimentar, através do social safeness e de uma relação positiva e de cuidado com o corpo. A análise path foi conduzida numa amostra de 490 mulheres e confirmou a adequabilidade do modelo, o qual explica 51% da variância da psicopatologia alimentar. Adicionalmente, o social safeness e a apreciação positiva do corpo (body appreciation) revelaram-se mediadores do impacto das memórias precoces de calor no comportamento alimentar perturbado, controlando o efeito do IMC. Estes resultados sugerem que o social safeness e a body appreciation poderão ter uma importante contribuição em programas de prevenção de psicopatologia alimentar.Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra2017-04-06info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_59-2_3https://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_59-2_3Psychologica; Vol. 59 No. 2 (2016); 45-60Psychologica; Vol. 59 N.º 2 (2016); 45-601647-86060871-465710.14195/1647-8606_59-2reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_59-2_3https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/1647-8606_59-2_3/3287Direitos de Autor (c) 2017 Psychologicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, SaraFerreira, CláudiaMendes, Ana Laura2023-05-31T13:59:35Zoai:impactum-journals.uc.pt:article/4122Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:58:16.043929Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
