Abstract

The prevalence of eating disorder (ED) symptoms is increasing in emerging adults and have negative psychosocial impacts on the individuals. Anxiety has been found to precede the development of ED symptoms. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the role of psychological inflexibility in the relationship between anxiety and ED symptoms in a sample of 141 female Indonesian emerging adults. Participants completed the adapted version of Trait anxiety subscale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II and Eating Attitudes Test-13 to assess trait anxiety, psychological inflexibility, and ED symptoms respectively. Results showed the indirect effect of trait anxiety and ED symptoms with psychological inflexibility as mediator was significant [b=0.144, 95%CI:(0.02-0.29)]. This suggests that psychological inflexibility can mediate the relationship between anxiety symptoms and ED symptoms. This finding may help creating prevention initiatives targeting psychological inflexibility for individuals vulnerable with anxiety to prevent the development of ED symptoms.

特质焦虑与进食障碍症状：作为中介的心理僵化

饮食失调（ED）症状在新成人中的发病率越来越高，对个人的心理社会产生了负面影响。研究发现，焦虑会先于进食障碍症状的出现。本横断面研究旨在调查心理不灵活在焦虑与进食障碍症状之间关系中的作用，研究对象为 141 名印度尼西亚女性新成人。受试者填写了改编版的国家特质焦虑量表中的特质焦虑分量表、接受与行动问卷 II 和饮食态度测试-13，以分别评估特质焦虑、心理不灵活和 ED 症状。结果显示，以心理缺乏灵活性为中介，特质焦虑和 ED 症状的间接效应显著[b=0.144，95%CI：（0.02-0.29）]。这表明，心理不灵活可以调解焦虑症状与 ED 症状之间的关系。这一发现可能有助于针对焦虑症易感人群的心理不灵活性制定预防措施，以防止出现 ED 症状。
