Resumo: | Objectives: The goal of the present study was to test the mediator effect of body appreciation in the association between self-compassionate engagement and action and disordered eating behaviors. Methods: A total of 360 women from the general population, aged between 18 and 50, participated in this study, by completing online self-report instruments to evaluate self-compassionate engagement and action, body appreciation, and symptoms of eating psychopathology. Descriptive and correlation analysis among the variables in the study were conducted. Additionally, it was tested a path analysis model that hypothesized that the association between self-compassionate actions and disordered eating behaviors was mediated by the ability to accept and appreciate one’s body image. Results: Results revealed positive associations between self-compassionate engagement and action and body appreciation and negative ones between body appreciation and symptoms of eating psychopathology. Path analysis’ results revealed a negative and indirect effect between self-compassionate actions and disordered eating, via body appreciation, which explained 48% of the variance of disordered eating behavior. Conclusions: Present results suggest that self-compassionate actions hold a protective effect on eating behavior through higher levels of respect and appreciation toward body image, despite body weight, shape, and imperfections. The ability to act following self-compassionate motivations seems to contribute to higher levels of body image appreciation, which reflects in a lower susceptibility to adopt disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. The present study seems to represent an important contribution to research and clinical practice and underlines the importance of including strategies to develop self-compassionate and body appreciation competencies in programs to prevent and intervene in the area of eating psychopathology. |

Método: Participaram 360 mulheres da população geral, com idades entre os 18 e os 50 anos, que completaram numa plataforma online medidas de autorrelato para avaliar as motivações e ações autocompassivas, apreciação da imagem corporal e sintomatologia associada à psicopatologia alimentar. Foram conduzidas análises descritivas e de correlação entre as variáveis em estudo. Adicionalmente, foi testado um modelo de análise de vias (path analysis) que hipotetizou que a associação entre ações autocompassivas e a adoção de atitudes e comportamentos alimentares perturbados é mediada pela capacidade de aceitar e apreciar a imagem corporal. Resultados: Os resultados revelaram associações positivas entre as motivações e ações autocompassivas e a apreciação da imagem corporal, e negativas entre a apreciação corporal e os sintomas associados ao comportamento alimentar perturbado. Os resultados da análise de vias (path analysis) revelaram um efeito negativo indireto entre ações autocompassivas e o comportamento alimentar perturbado através da apreciação da imagem corporal, que explicou 48% da variância do comportamento alimentar perturbado. Conclusões: Estes resultados sugerem que as ações autocompassivas exercem um efeito protetor no comportamento alimentar através de níveis mais altos de apreciação e respeito em relação à imagem corporal, não obstante o peso, forma ou imperfeições. A capacidade de agir de acordo com as motivações autocompassivas parece contribuir para níveis mais elevados de apreciação face às caraterísticas únicas da imagem corporal, a qual se reflete numa menor adoção de atitudes e comportamentos alimentares perturbados. Este estudo representa um importante contributo para a investigação e prática clínica, e sublinha a importância da inclusão de estratégias de desenvolvimento de competências autocompassivas e de apreciação da imagem corporal em programas de prevenção e intervenção na área da psicopatologia alimentar.Departamento de Investigação & Desenvolvimento do Instituto Superior Miguel Torga2017-09-29info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmlimage/pnghttps://doi.org/10.7342/ismt.rpics.2017.3.2.58https://doi.org/10.7342/ismt.rpics.2017.3.2.58Portuguese Journal of Behavioral and Social Research; Vol. 3 No. 2 (2017): Setembro; 32–41Revista Portuguesa de Investigação Comportamental e Social; Vol. 3 N.º 2 (2017): Setembro; 32–412183-4938reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/58https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/58/PDFhttps://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/58/htmlhttps://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/58/250Direitos de Autor (c) 2017 Andreia Máximo, Cláudia Ferreira, & Joana Marta-Simõeshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMáximo, AndreiaFerreira, CláudiaMarta-Simões, Joana2023-05-25T22:00:49Zoai:ojs.rpics.ismt.pt:article/58Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:39:44.447571Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
