正念对饮食行为的影响及作用机理

正念是一种以不批判的态度全然接纳当下体验的觉察力,正念训练对改善不良饮食行为的积极作用正日益受到研究者的广泛关注。本文对正念在改善不良饮食行为中的积极作用与机理,以及基于正念的不良饮食行为矫正方法进行了梳理与归纳。在已有研究的基础上,未来研究需要进一步探索正念对健康饮食行为的作用、从生命周期的视角考察正念对饮食行为的影响、基于思维压抑视角探讨正念的作用机制以及检验正念不良饮食矫正效果的边界。

The Influence of Mindfulness on Eating Behavior and Its Functional Mechanism

Mindfulness,as the awareness that emerges through purposely and non-judgmentally paying attention to the present moment,has attracted increasing attention from researchers on eating behavior.After reviewing and summarizing pre-existing studies,the present study finds that mindfulness plays an important role in correcting unhealthy eating behaviors,and awareness,acceptance and disidentification are its functional mechanisms.Besides,existing mindfulness-based methods for correcting unhealthy eating behaviors can be divided into two major categories of mindfulness state intervention and mindfulness-based clinical therapy.Future research needs to further explore the role of mindfulness in healthy eating behavior,investigate the influence of mindfulness on eating behaviors from the perspective of life cycle,explore the functional mechanisms of mindfulness based on thought suppression,and test the boundary of correcting effects of mindfulness on unhealthy eating behaviors.
