The role of self-compassion and its individual components in adaptive responses to dietary lapses
Validation of the food craving Acceptance and action questionnaire (Faaq) in a weight loss-seeking sample
Real-time fluctuations in mindful awareness, willingness, and values clarity, and their associations with craving and dietary lapse among those seeking weight loss
Using virtual reality to train inhibitory control and reduce binge eating
Change in domain-specific but not general psychological flexibility relates to greater weight loss in acceptance-based behavioral treatment for obesity
Depressive symptoms, psychological flexibility, and binge eating in individuals seeking behavioral weight loss treatment
A multimodal investigation of impulsivity as a moderator of the relation between momentary elevations in negative internal states and subsequent dietary lapses
Using ecological momentary assessment to better understand dietary lapse types
Frequency of lapsing from a diet predicts weight loss failure, however previous studies have only utilized one definition of dietary lapse. No study has examined different types of lapse behaviors among individuals with overweight/obesity. The current study uses ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to examine predictors of three lapse types-eating a larger portion than intended, eating an unintended type of food, and eating at an unplanned time-…
Trusting homeostatic cues versus accepting hedonic cues
Not so fast
Behavioral weight loss (BWL) treatments result in suboptimal weight losses for many individuals. Impulsivity appears to be a maintenance factor of obesity, yet few studies have examined impulsivity as a predictor of outcomes from BWL. We examined specific facets of impulsivity (inhibitory control and delay discounting) as moderators of outcome in BWL. Overweight adults (n = 190) were randomized to standard behavioral treatment (SBT) or acceptance…
Pilot Test of an Acceptance-Based Behavioral Intervention to Promote Physical Activity During Weight Loss Maintenance
Behavioral interventions for obesity reliably facilitate short-term weight loss, but weight regain is normative. A high level of aerobic exercise may promote weight loss maintenance. However, adopting and maintaining a high level of exercise is challenging, and experiential acceptance may be important. The aim of this study was to pilot test the feasibility and efficacy of an acceptance-based behavioral treatment to promote moderate-to-vigorous p…
Slowing down and taking a second look
The relationship of alcohol use to weight loss in the context of behavioral weight loss treatment
Does impulsivity predict outcome in treatment for binge eating disorder? A multimodal investigation
Enhancing physical activity promotion in midlife women with technology-based self-monitoring and social connectivity
This pilot study tested a novel program to promote adoption and maintenance of aerobic activity in midlife women. Lifestyle modification group sessions were held weekly for 3 months, followed by two booster sessions during the 3-month maintenance phase. During all 6 months of the program, participants used a physical activity sensor to automate self-monitoring and a web platform to facilitate social connectivity. Aerobic exercise increased from 6…
The independent and interacting effects of hedonic hunger and executive function on binge eating
Could training executive function improve treatment outcomes for eating disorders
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for eating disorders
Efficacy of an acceptance-based behavioral intervention for weight gain prevention in young adult women
Baseline eating disorder severity predicts response to an acceptance and commitment therapy-based group treatment
Acceptance-based exposure therapy for public speaking anxiety
The Drexel defusion scale
Acceptance-based behavior therapy to promote HIV medication adherence
A significant number of adults with HIV in the USA do not maintain adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) at adequate levels. Although traditional cognitive behavioral interventions have shown promise in promoting HAART adherence, acceptance-based behavior therapy (ABBT) may be particularly useful in this population. ABBT has the potential to overcome common avoidance-based barriers associated with poor adherence, including den…
The Assessment of Present-Moment Awareness and Acceptance
The purpose of this project was to develop a bidimensional measure of mindfulness to assess its two key components: present-moment awareness and acceptance. The development and psychometric validation of the Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale is described, and data are reported from expert raters, two nonclinical samples (n = 204 and 559), and three clinical samples including mixed psychiatric outpatients (n = 52), eating disorder inpatients (n = 30)…
A Randomized Controlled Effectiveness Trial of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Therapy for Anxiety and Depression
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has a small but growing database of support. One hundred and one heterogeneous outpatients reporting moderate to severe levels of anxiety or depression were randomly assigned to traditional cognitive therapy (CT) or to ACT. To maximize external validity, the authors utilized very minimal exclusion criteria. Participants receiving CT and ACT evidenced large, equivalent improvements in depression, anxiety, fu…
