Latent profiles of processes in acceptance and commitment therapy and their associations with eating disorder symptoms among adult women
The present study examined the latent profiles of processes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to enhance the sensitivity of acceptance- and mindfulness-based interventions, particularly in the prevention of eating disorder symptoms among non-clinical female adults.
Manwaring, J., Hilbert, A., Walden, K., Bishop, E. R., & Johnson, C. (2018). Validation of the acceptance and action questionnaire for weight-related difficulties in an eating disorder population
Introduction
Researchers are examining Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in the ongoing efforts for effective eating disorder (ED) treatment. ACT focuses on experiential avoidance as a central maintaining factor of ED, so valid measures of this process are needed. We sought to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire for Weight related issues (AAQW), which has only been studied with an overweight population.

The role of disordered eating cognition and body image flexibility in disordered eating behavior in college men
Research has documented a recent rise in endorsement of disordered eating behavior in men.
Acceptance-based treatment and quality of life among patients with an eating disorder
This study assessed the relationship between acceptance-based constructs and quality of life (QOL) among patients with an eating disorder, as well as whether an acceptance-based treatment group could improve QOL. Patients (n = 105) at a residential treatment center received treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU plus twice-weekly acceptance and commitment therapy groups (TAU+ACT), and completed assessments at admission and discharge.
Assessment of the Body Image-Acceptance and Action Questionnaire in a female residential eating disorder treatment facility
The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Body Image-Acceptance and Action Questionnaire in a severe eating disorder population, as previous validation has occurred only with nonclinical samples.
