Exploration of the Mediating Role of Self-Compassion and Mindfulness on Orthorexia Nervosa and Perfectionism
Orthorexia Nervosa (ON) is characterized by an excessive preoccupation with healthy eating, accompanied by increasingly restrictive dietary practices over time.

A total of 151 participants over the age of 18 completed scales measuring Orthorexia, Self-Co…

The Importance of Body Acceptance in Exploring the Relationships of Mindfulness-Based Constructs to Eating Behaviours among Gay and Bisexual Men
Introduction Mindfulness and mindfulness-based constructs (e.g. self-compassion and mindful eating) have been negatively associated with problematic eating and body-related issues in general and other specific populations.

Alexithymia and self-reported emotional eating: The mediating role of difficulties in emotion regulation
Learning from the experiences of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (Bame) university students who withdraw from their undergraduate degree

It is therefore important to explore withdrawal experiences and perspectives that relate to this population of students to increase both student retention and success. Thirteen UK-domiciled, full-time undergraduate, first-degree entrants from a BAME background, who had withdrawn from a post-199…
Exploring the Experiences of Gay Men with Regards to Eating, Exercise, and Mindfulness-Based Concepts

The current study adopted a qualitative approach and employed interview methodology to explore gay men’s attitudes, feelings and experiences of their eating behavior, and the potential link to mindfulness and self-compassion. Twenty gay men aged from 21 to 51 years were inter…
‘Everyone knows someone in an unhealthy relationship’: Young people’s talk about intimate heterosexual relationships in England
Research suggests that intimate relationship violence and coercive control are prevalent in young people’s relationships. Furthermore, young people often fail to recognise such behaviour as abuse. While such findings indicate the normalisation of controlling and coercive behaviours amongst young people, there is little focus on how these behaviours are normalised. This paper presents findings from a study exploring young people’s experiences and …

Exploring the Environmental Manifestation of Types of Music on Reinforcing Mindfulness and Concurrent Calorie Intake
Playing classical music may be beneficial in reducing intake of savoury foods, but not through the association to changes in state mindfulness. Future research should explore extended sessions of music listening on state mindfulness and other experiential evaluations of mindfulness to conclude on the direct and indirect effects of music on sweet and savoury foods
Mindful Construal Diaries: A Less Anxious, More Mindful, and More Self-Compassionate Method of Eating
Mindful construal diaries were found to assist in weight regulation during a long-term intervention. The current study attempted to expand previous findings by testing the consideration (or priming) of questions within the diary (instead of filling in the answers), and investigated levels of state mindfulness, state self-compassion, and state anxiety in an observational trial of pre- to postintervention. Forty-five participants completed State Mi…
