Dispositional attribution of blame appears to be central to this stigmatisation. Currently, it remains unclear as to whether precise aspects of blame, such as control over and responsibility for the disorder, specifically contribute to these negative dispositional attributions. So, the current study sought to explore causal attribution patterns towards individuals with AN among an adult population.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>One-hundred and forty-six participants (M = 36.52 years; SD = 14.45; 118 female) completed an online survey where they were initially randomly assigned to read either a blameworthy (n = 61) or unblameworthy (n = 85) vignette describing a fictional character with AN.

Drawing parallels with addiction, the rewarding aspects of a chronic energy-dense diet can compromise dopaminergic reward circuits, eventually causing individuals to become habitually responsive to food-related stimuli despite adverse health consequences. The maladaptive prediction of reward and motivational salience that becomes associated with food-related stimuli can exert top-down influence on perception and attention, promoting compulsive eating behaviour. Emerging research suggests that psychedelics, e.g., psilocybin and LSD, induce non-ordinary mental states where the influence of such behaviours could potentially be reduced and modified. Based on current evidence, mechanisms have been proposed which suggest that psychedelics might relax the top-down influence of high-level predictions encoded within neuronal hierarchies and sensitise them to bottom-up information flow. Additionally, psychedelics are thought to open a window of psychological flexibility, allowing people to potentially become open to new cognitive and behavioural strategies that can be offered via assisted psychotherapy. Therefore, psychedelics-assisted psychotherapy may encourage beneficial changes to eating behaviour, in those with maladaptive eating habits. While promising in theory, new research is needed to assess the potential efficacy of psychedelics-assisted psychotherapy in treating compulsive eating behaviour.</p>","PeriodicalId":48605,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Eating Disorders","volume":"13 1","pages":"59"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143804590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
