“…By drawing together items from a number of generic measures of mindfulness and editing them to be eating-related we were able to ensure a factor structure more closely associated to standard definitions of mindfulness. Crucially, we included items relating to acceptance and nonreactivity-two concepts central to most definitions of mindfulness (Bishop et al, 2004), but omitted from the previously developed Mindful Eating Questionnaire (Framson et al 2009 Awareness Scale. We are not therefore tempted to second-guess the parallel analysis and reduce the number of factors in the scale at this point.…”

Self-report scales for mindfulness are now widely used in applied settings, and have made a contribution to research, for instance in demonstrating mediation effects. To date there are no convincing data as to whether mindfulness skills generalise fully across life domains, and so some researchers have developed mindfulness scales for particular domains of behaviour. We present the development of a self-report scale to measure mindfulness with respect to eating behaviours. A previous measure, the Mindful Eating Questionnaire, whilst possessing good psychometric properties, does not agree well with standard definitions of mindfulness or possess a factor structure similar to well-researched generic mindfulness scales. We developed an item pool based on items drawn from popular generic measures of mindfulness and the resultant questionnaire was completed by 127 university students (77.2% female, M age 25.65 years, SD age 8.89 years).

“…These interventions encouraged mindful eating specifically and taught participants about food choices. Similarly, individual differences in "mindful eating" (i.e., "non-judgmental awareness of physical and emotional sensations while eating or in a food-related environment," Framson et al, 2009Framson et al, , p. 1439 predict lower BMI (Moor, Scott, & McIntosh, 2013). Thus, eating-specific mindfulness may encourage weight management.…”

Obesity and excess weight are significant societal problems. Mindfulness may encourage healthier weight and eating habits. Across four studies, we found a positive relation between mindfulness and healthier eating. Trait mindfulness was associated with less impulsive eating, reduced calorie consumption, and healthier snack choices. In addition, we found a causal effect of mindfulness on healthier eating. An experimental manipulation of state mindfulness led participants to consume fewer calories in a spontaneous eating task. We also found preliminary evidence that mindfulness affects eating behavior by encouraging attitudinal preferences for healthier foods. Taken together, these results provide strong evidence that mindfulness encourages healthier eating, even in the absence of specific instruction in mindful eating. These results suggest that generic mindfulness-based strategies could have ancillary benefits for encouraging healthier eating behavior.

“…Five measures of mindful eating existthe Mindful Eating Scale (Hulbert- Williams et al, 2014), the Mindful Eating Behaviour Scale (Winkens et al, 2018), the newly developed Mindful Eating Inventory (Peitz, Schulze, & Warschburger, 2021) and Four Facet Mindful Eating Scale (Carrière et al, 2022), and the Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ, Framson et al, 2009). The term 'intuitive eating' has been used interchangeably with mindful eating and the Intuitive Eating Scale (IES; Tylka, 2006) has been used as an alternative measure of mindful eating (Warren et al, 2017).…”
