Identifying mechanisms of action can aid the refinement of weight management interventions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based interventions may support long-term weight management by improving self-regulation of eating behavior traits (EBTs). However, it remains unclear if changing EBTs like emotional eating, external eating, internal disinhibition, and restraint during ACT causes improved weight ma...
Obesity care may benefit from precision approaches, matching patients to treatment types based on their individual characteristics, including eating behaviour traits (EBTs) like emotional eating, uncontrolled eating, external eating, internal disinhibition and restraint. Initial evidence suggests that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based interventions might address dysregulated EBTs more effectively th...
Experiential avoidance, defined as attempts to control or change unwanted internal experiences when doing so causes harm, has been consistently associated with physical and mental health problems and has been traditionally measured using the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire. Several studies have highlighted the importance of developing content-specific measures to better capture relevant processes for specif...
