An individual participant data meta-analysis investigating the mediating role of eating behavior traits in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based weight management interventions
HIV Status, Obesity, and Risk for Weight Stigma
Confirmatory factor analysis of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire for Weight-Related Difficulties-Revised (Aaqw-R) in a United States sample of adults with overweight and obesity
Characterizing Lifetime and Daily Experiences of Weight Stigma among Sexual Minority Women with Overweight and Obesity
Sexual minority women are disproportionately impacted by obesity yet are underrepresented in weight stigma research. This Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) study is a secondary analysis that aimed to elucidate the frequency and contextual characteristics of perceived experiences of lifetime and momentary weight stigma among sexual minority women with overweight/obesity. Participants were 55 sexual minority women ages 18-60 with a body mass in…
Self-stigma and weight loss
This study sought to examine whether two facets of weight self-stigma (fear of enacted stigma and self-devaluation) were associated with weight change and treatment engagement for 188 individuals participating in a 3-month online weight loss program. Fear of enacted stigma predicted less weight loss 3 months later after controlling for demographics, eating problems, and psychological symptoms. Self-devaluation did not predict weight loss. Neither…
Assessing the valuing process in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Exploring process variables through which acceptance-based behavioral interventions may improve weight loss maintenance
New developments in the assessment of weight-related experiential avoidance (Aaqw-Revised)
Weight loss intervention for individuals with high internal disinhibition
ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01461421 (registered October 25, 2011)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for weight control
The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire – Stigma (AAQ-S)
Acceptance and commitment therapy.
The Impact of Treatment Components Suggested by the Psychological Flexibility Model
Exploring the relationship between body mass index and health-related quality of life
Health-related quality of life (HRQL) has been shown to deteriorate as body mass index (BMI) increases. Recent research suggests weight stigma and experiential avoidance may partially account for the relationship between BMI and HRQL. Eighty-seven adults recruited from a weight-loss clinic completed an intake assessment, which consisted of physical measurement taking and completion of self-report measures. Experiential avoidance and weight self-s…
Measuring Weight Self‐stigma
Stigma associated with being overweight or obese is widespread. Given that weight loss is difficult to achieve and maintain, researchers have been calling for interventions that reduce the impact of weight stigma on life functioning. Sound measures that are sensitive to change are needed to help guide and inform intervention studies. This study presents the weight self‐stigma questionnaire (WSSQ). The WSSQ has 12 items and is designed for use onl…
Teaching Acceptance and Mindfulness to Improve the Lives of the Obese
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a growing epidemic. Weight control interventions can achieve weight loss, but most is regained over time. Stigma and low quality of life are significant problems that are rarely targeted. PURPOSE: A new model aimed at reducing avoidant behavior and increasing psychological flexibility, has shown to be relevant in the treatment of other chronic health problems and is worth examining for improving the lives of obese persons. …
Comparing Japanese International College Students' and U.S. College Students' Mental‐Health‐Related Stigmatizing Attitudes
This study examined differences between Japanese international college students and U.S. college students on stigma toward people with psychological disorders, stigma tolerance in help seeking, and self‐concealment. Japanese international students had greater stigma toward individuals with psychological disorders than did their U.S. counterparts. No interrelationships between these variables, however, were found in the Japanese international stud…
Avoidance and Inflexibility as a Common Clinical Pathway in Obesity and Smoking Treatment
This brief study presents reductions in avoidance and inflexibility as a potential common clinical pathway to intervene on for both smoking cessation and weight control. A mediation analysis-using the Avoidance and Inflexibility Scale (AIS)-was conducted on a group of participants ( N = 84) who were shown to improve weight control outcomes after receiving an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention. Results were then compared to a pre…
