ヒューストン大学の研究で、心理的柔軟性が高い女性大学生ほど摂食障害傾向が低いことが明らかになった。全米の女性大学生1,300人を対象に、多次元心理的柔軟性尺度と摂食行動(過食、運動依存、成形行為など)を調査。ACT(アクセプタンス&コミットメント・セラピー)に基づく分析で、心理的柔軟性のプロファイルは人種や性的指向と関連しており、個別化された介入の必要性が示唆された。今後は個人特性に応じたACTの応用が摂食障害予防に有効と期待される。

Highlights

  • A five-profile solution was identified from a non-clinical sample of adult women.
  • Profile creation was influenced by sexual and racial minority status.
  • Associations were observed between the profiles and symptoms of eating disorders.

Abstract

The present study examined the latent profiles of processes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to enhance the sensitivity of acceptance- and mindfulness-based interventions, particularly in the prevention of eating disorder symptoms among non-clinical female adults. A sample of 1347 female adults was recruited from a large public university in Hawaii, and latent profile analysis was employed to identify distinct groups based on ACT processes measured by the Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory (MPFI). The study also explored the influence of participants’ racial backgrounds and sexual orientations on the formation of these profiles, as well as the association between the identified profiles and eating disorder symptoms. The analysis revealed a five-profile solution, indicating that racial background and sexual orientation statistically significantly influenced profile categorization. Profiles characterized by high psychological flexibility and low psychological inflexibility were generally linked to lower levels of eating disorder symptoms. Notably, some profiles, such as the Moderately Flexible and Inflexible groups, necessitated a nuanced interpretation regarding their relationship with eating disorder symptoms. These findings emphasize the variability in individuals’ experiences of ACT processes and a person-centered approach in examining the associations between ACT processes and eating disorder symptoms.
