“…Two studies investigated psychological inflexibility in relation to problematic eating behaviour in adults (Masuda, Muto, Tully, Morgan, & Hill, ; Moore, Masuda, Hill, & Goodnight, ), using the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire and the EAT‐26. Psychological inflexibility is defined as an inappropriate regulation tendency that the individual uses to avoid unwanted thoughts and experiences (Masuda et al, ).…”

“…Psychological inflexibility has been identified as a key process underlying a range of psychopathological conditions and behavioural ineffectiveness [29][30][31]. Specifically, psychological inflexibility focused on body image has been recognized as a core dimension implicated in body image difficulties and disordered eating behaviours [26,[32][33][34][35][36].…”

Purpose: Adolescence has been considered a critical time for the development of body image-related difficulties and disordered eating behaviours, especially in females. Although adherence to eating rules has been linked to disordered eating, literature has not yet explored how the inflexible subscription to those rules impacts on eating psychopathology. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to explore whether inflexible eating impacts on the relationships between weight and body image-related variables, and disordered eating.Methods: Participated in this study 497 female adolescents from the community, aged between 14 and 18 years old, who completed self-report measures.Results: Results revealed that the majority of the participants were dissatisfied with their weight and body shape. Moreover, 6.64% of the participants demonstrated severe eating psychopathology. A path analysis revealed that BMI, body dissatisfaction and social comparisons based on physical appearance impact on disordered eating behaviours, through the mechanism of inflexible adherence to eating rules. This model explained 52% of eating psychopathology's variance. Conclusions:Findings highlight the relevance of body image-related difficulties in adolescence and additionally they emphasise the importance of promoting more flexible attitudes towards eating in prevention and intervention programs with female adolescents.

“…Moreover, there is growing evidence for acceptance and values‐based programmes for difficulties in managing weight and eating (Juarascio, Forman, & Herbert, ; Lillis & Kendra, ) and specifically BED (Masuda, Hill, Melcher, Morgan, & Twohig, ). These approaches promote psychological flexibility, which seems to be a key mechanism operating in eating psychopathology (Ferreira, Palmeira, & Trindade, ; Hill, Masuda, & Latzman, ; Moore, Hill, & Goodnight, ; Trindade & Ferreira, ; Wendell, Masuda, & Le, ), namely, in binge eating (Duarte & Pinto‐Gouveia, ; Duarte, Pinto‐Gouveia, & Ferreira, , ).…”

The current study provides evidence of the acceptability of a psychoeducation, mindfulness, and compassion program for binge eating in obesity (BEfree); Developing mindfulness and self-compassionate skills is an effective way of diminishing binge eating, eating psychopathology and depression, and increasing quality of life in women with obesity; Integrating psychoeducation, mindfulness, and compassion seem to be effective in diminishing binge eating, with results maintained up to 6-month postintervention.
