Professional Doctorate - Doctor of Clinical Psychology (DCP)

Experiential Avoidance (EA) results from an individual being unwilling to approach or remain in contact with internal experiences such as emotions, thoughts, bodily sensations, memories or urges (Hayes, Wilson, Gifford, Follette, & Strosahl, 1996). This aversion or unwillingness leads to maladaptive efforts to avoid, or escape such experiences (Hayes, et al., 1996). EA is ubiquitous and has been shown to result in a paradoxical increase in the incidence of the feared experiences and in the distress they cause (e.g., Hayes, et al., 1996). EA in itself is not pathogenic in definition (Boelen & Reijntjes, 2008). However, chronic or excessive use of EA has been considered a fundamental psychological vulnerability underlying the onset and/or maintenance of a variety of clinical problems and disorders (Hayes, et al., 1999). It has been suggested that EA has been recognised, implicitly or explicitly, within most systems of therapy (e.g., Blackledge & Hayes, 2001; Freud, 1937; Rogers, 1961). Measuring EA has been shown to be a complicated task as it encompasses such a wide variety of behaviours (Shahar & Herr, 2011). Recent research has questioned the validity of the measurement of EA as a single construct, and has suggested EA may actually be a multifaceted construct with a number of different components (Chawla & Ostafin, 2007). The purpose of this study was to explore whether changes in scores on measures of EA as a single construct (the Action and Avoidance Questionnaire; AAQ-II; Bond, Hayes, Baer, Carpenter, Guenole, Orcutt, et al., 2009), were reflected in changes in scores on assessment tools measuring thought control (the White Bear Suppression Inventory; Wegner & Zanakos, 1994), and emotion control (the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale; DERS; Gratz & Roemer, 2004). Hence, exploring whether EA can be viewed as a unidimensional construct or a multidimensional construct. 82 participants currently engaged in therapy interventions at two acute community mental health services and two psychiatric rehabilitation services completed the AAQ-II, the WBSI, and the DERS at a baseline interval, and again after three months. Therapists completed a brief questionnaire regarding their impressions of the participants’ EA. The data was analysed using Structural Equation Modelling to estimate the relationships among variables considering all relationships simultaneously and minimising the effects of measurement error. Changes in EA, as measured by the AAQ-II, were strongly related to emotion control scores, although not as strongly related to thought control scores. Further examination of EA as a construct indicated that emotion control scores, in particular a lack of access to strategies, non-acceptance of emotions, and difficulty maintaining goal-directed behaviour when distressed, appeared to be more related to the construct of EA than scores on the measure designed to be a general measure of EA, the AAQ-II. Hence, this study provides some preliminary evidence…

▼ Peer rejection (PR) can be damaging to cognitive and emotional well being and lead to risky behavioral consequences (e.g., violence, increased peer pressure susceptibility), particularly for adolescents (Sebastian et al., 2010; Williams, 2007). Interventions designed to minimize the impact of and repair damage related to PR in youth have been somewhat successful (e.g., Mikami et al., 2005), although the need for further research into potentially pliable mechanisms underlying adolescent peer relationships remains. One suggested mediating factor is experiential avoidance (EA), which is the major target of acceptance- and mindfulness-based interventions such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT; see Hayes, 2004 for a review). The present study built on the recommendations of Biglan et al. (2008) and Theodore-Oklota et al. (2014) in designing and implementing a prevention program aimed at reducing EA of PR experiences, with the hope of minimizing cognitive, emotional and behavioral consequences of PR. For this initial pilot, selected ACT components (acceptance, cognitive defusion, and values) were presented in age-appropriate form to six participants over five individual intervention sessions. The program was successful in reducing EA and cognitive fusion and/or improving mindfulness and acceptance for most participants, with some exceptions. Additionally, results showed a decrease in existing symptomatology for several participants (e.g., anger, depression, poor self-concept, overall stress). However, value congruence was not significantly improved for any of the six completers. Results are discussed in terms of theoretical implications and recommendations for further research, particularly in terms of how the existing pilot intervention could be altered and augmented to maximize effectiveness.

▼ Theoretical, empirical, and experiential attempts at disentangling the functions of Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) have been driven by the desire to answer the complex question: Why do people engage in self-injurious behaviours? A recently developed behavioural model of NSSI—the Experiential Avoidance Model (EAM; Chapman, Gratz, & Brown, 2006)—proposes that self-injury functions primarily as a form of negatively reinforced, experiential avoidance and places particular emphasis on emotional avoidance. Experiential avoidance is conceptualised as a behavioural process whereby people are unwilling to tolerate distressing emotions, thoughts, memories, or physical sensations and engage in behaviours to change, avoid, or escape from these aversive, intrapersonal experiences (Hayes, Wilson, Gifford, Follette, & Strosahl, 1996). Although the results of international studies support the key assumptions of this model to varying degrees (Klonsky, 2007; Klonsky & Glenn, 2008; Nock & Prinstein, 2004), the EAM has never been empirically evaluated within Aotearoa New Zealand. To determine whether experiential avoidance is the primary function of NSSI for people living within Aotearoa New Zealand, I designed and conducted three studies. For my first study, I interviewed 24 people who had engaged in nonsuicidal self-injurious behaviours in the previous 12 months about the antecedents and consequences of their most recent episode of self-injury. The interviews were analysed using a framework based on behavioural principles, which I developed for the purpose of this research. This method of analysis, which I called Interpretative Functional Analysis, allowed me to identify, and then compare, the functions served by discrete self-injurious episodes. Results supported the EAM (Chapman et al., 2006) in that self-injury episodes functioned predominantly as attempts to avoid or escape from intense, negative emotional experiences. Cognitive avoidance, however, also played a significant role in the self-injury trajectory, which highlighted the importance of investigating unwanted thoughts in subsequent studies. The second study involved surveying 198 people across Aotearoa New Zealand who had self-injured in the previous 12 months to further test whether the key assumptions of the EAM (Chapman et al., 2006) apply to a New Zealand-based population. Quantitative findings supported the model and were consistent with extant international studies in that experientially avoidant, intrapersonal functions (i.e., affect regulation and self-punishment) were identified as primary to the reinforcement and maintenance of NSSI. Intrapersonal functions, in general, were more highly endorsed than interpersonal functions. Finally, both negative affect and cognitions decreased following episodes of self-injury, while joviality increased. The increase in positive emotions undermines the EAM's (Chapman et al., 2006) exclusive focus on negative reinforcement, suggesting that positive reinforcement also has an important role to play in the continued use of NSSI.… Advisors/Committee Members: Wilson, Marc, McDowall, John.

▼ Mechanisms of change in psychotherapy must be empirically investigated to shed light on how particular therapies work, as well as common mechanisms that may be at work across modalities. The current study investigated a proposed mechanism of change in a mindfulness intervention; this proposed mechanism, experiential avoidance (EA), may function more broadly as a mediator of change across multiple therapies. The primary hypothesis was that gains in mindfulness over the course of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) would be associated with reductions in negative affect, and that changes in EA would mediate the relation between changes in mindfulness and negative affect. The role of EA in mediating the effect of mindfulness on positive affect, disability, and life satisfaction was also investigated. Participants (N = 106) completed questionnaires before and after an 8-week MBSR program. A subset of participants (n = 74) completed questionnaires at the mid-point of treatment, and recorded time spent on mindfulness practice and level of relaxation after homework completion. Mediation analyses were conducted in which relations between change in predictor (mindfulness), mediator (EA), and outcome measures over the course of the intervention were assessed using regression steps, followed by PRODCLIN. Participants reported significant improvements in mindfulness, reductions in EA and disability, and improved affect and life satisfaction from pre- to post-MBSR. The relation between increased mindfulness and reduced negative affect over the course of the intervention was partially mediated by reduced EA. No evidence was found for relaxation as an additional mediator of the relation between mindfulness and negative affect. The relation between increased mindfulness and positive affect over the course of the intervention was fully mediated by decreased behavioral avoidance. Reductions in behavioral avoidance also fully mediated the relation between increased mindfulness and reduced disability. The relation between increased mindfulness and increased life satisfaction was mediated by EA. More mindfulness practice was linked with greater positive affect; the relation between practice and positive affect was mediated by EA. This study offers support for EA as a mediator of the effect of mindfulness on multiple outcomes, while highlighting a mechanism of change that may pertain across psychotherapeutic modalities.

▼ Self-injury as defined in this study is the deliberate infliction of harm to ones’ body (often cutting or burning) without suicidal intent. The increase in self-injurious behaviour in North American society is puzzling to understand and difficult to treat. In several explanatory models, self-injury is conceptualized as a method for coping with overwhelming negative emotions. The Experiential Avoidance Model (EAM; Chapman, Gratz, & Brown, 2006) has been hypothesized to be a unifying theoretical framework offering a basis for future research. The EAM proposes that self-injury is a method used to avoid uncomfortable and unmanageable affect, which is then reinforced by escape conditioning and negative reinforcement. This study tested the EAM as well as the underlying vulnerabilities that contribute to experiential avoidance in a sample of 132 self-injurers recruited from the general population. A vulnerability that was hypothesized to contribute to experiential avoidance was insecure attachment through its impact on the other EAM components such as affect intensity, emotion valence, and affect regulation abilities. A control group consisting of 117 participants that did not have a history of self-injury or current mental health concerns were used in this study as a point of comparison on all measures. The results highlight that self-injury serves multiple functions, although emotion regulation is its predominant function. The data provided an acceptable fit to path models that tested the EAM as well as an expanded model of EAM that included anxious/ambivalent attachment. The results highlight complex models that include multiple direct and indirect relations between the variables involved in the frequency of self-injury. Experiential avoidance had a direct effect on the frequency of self-injury. Other results indicate that avoidant attachment plays a role in self-injury as do aversive emotions, specifically guilt. Treatment of self-injury needs to address several areas of deficits, particularly those related to emotion dysregulation. The implications of the findings are discussed in relation to the existing literature, treatment, and areas for future research.

▼ Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is the deliberate, direct destruction or alteration of body tissue without conscious suicidal intent (Pattison & Kahan, 1983; Favazza, 1998). Recent reviews on NSSI (Suyemoto, 1998; Klonsky, 2007) have suggested multiple functions of NSSI, with affect-regulation models having the most support. However, no research has directly tested whether NSSI regulates affect in more than one way. It is possible that there are multiple pathways through which affect may be regulated. Two recent models of NSSI incorporate affect regulation as a function of NSSI. Nock and Prinstein (2004) recently proposed a two-dimensional functional model of NSSI. These authors argued that there are four primary functions of NSSI that range along two dimensions, reinforcement and contingencies. The second recently proposed theoretical model, the Experiential Avoidance Model (EAM; Chapman, Gratz, & Brown, 2006), argues that NSSI is maintained by negative reinforcement in the form of escape from, or avoidance of, unwanted emotional experiences. The first goal of the present study was to simultaneously examine components of two affect-regulation models of NSSI. The second goal of the present study was to investigate the unique and joint contribution of worry and rumination in a model of NSSI. Participants were 95 undergraduate students from the Kent State University General Psychology Subject Pool who reported engaging in at least one NSSI act during their lives. Following informed consent, participants completed measures of worry, rumination, functions of NSSI, avoidance, and NSSI behaviors. Path analysis and structural equation modeling were used to investigate affect-regulation functions of NSSI and avoidance as mediators of the relationship between brooding, worry, and NSSI. Results suggested the initial hypothesized model and a post-hoc model provided the best fit to the data, although there was no support for mediation. Results generally lend stronger support to the functional model than the experiential avoidance model. Further, results suggest that brooding, but not worry, may better serve as a variable of heightened affect in affect regulation models of NSSI.

▼ Onderzoek heeft meermaals aangetoond dat het 8-weekse Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction programma (MBSR) positieve effecten heeft op aspecten van het welzijn. Over de effecten van (kortere) mindfulness trainingen op het welzijn van ouderen is nog weinig gepubliceerd. Het onderzoeken van de effecten van een verkorte (6-weekse) MBSR training bij ouderen op mindfulness, experiëntiële vermijding, self-efficacy in het omgaan met emoties, zelftranscendentie, en de Quality of Life subschalen fysiek welzijn, psychologisch welzijn, en tevredenheid met de omgeving. Een persbericht maakte lezers attent op een experimentele mindfulness training voor 65-plussers. In een gerandomiseerd pretest-posttest design met controle-wachtgroep voltooiden 49 personen – 40 vrouwen en 9 mannen – de training. De experimentele groep bestond uit 27 respondenten, de controle-wachtgroep uit 22. Deelnemers waren gemiddeld 73 jaar oud en hadden geen ernstige welzijnsproblemen. Men vulde voorafgaand aan, direct na, en 3 weken na de training de volgende vragenlijsten in. Het niveau van mindfulness is gemeten met de Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (Schroevers et al., 2008), experiëntiële vermijding met de Acceptance & Action Questionnaire (Jacobs et al., 2008), self-efficacy in het omgaan met emoties werd gemeten met de Affective Self-Regulatory Scale (Bandura et al., 2003), zelftranscendentie met de Existential Fulfillment Scale (Loonstra et al., 2007), en de Quality of Life subschalen fysiek welzijn, psychologisch welzijn, en tevredenheid met de omgeving werden gemeten met de Verkorte World Health Organisation Quality of Life (WHO, 1998). Psychologisch welzijn bleek direct na de training significant verbeterd te zijn, met name doordat men meer van het leven genoot en minder negatieve gevoelens en stemmingen had. Dit effect op psychologisch welzijn was 3 weken na de training gedeeltelijk afgenomen. De verwachte positieve effecten op de andere variabelen waren niet significant (zelftranscendentie, fysiek welzijn, self-efficacy in het omgaan met emoties, experiëntiële vermijding, en mindfulness) of bleven uit (tevredenheid met de omgeving). Een verkorte mindfulness training kan een positief effect hebben op het psychologisch welzijn van ouderen, met name doordat men meer van het leven geniet en minder negatieve gevoelens en stemmingen heeft. Als vervolg op een verkorte mindfulness training voor ouderen lijken enige opfristrainingssessies zinvol. Kanttekeningen bij het onderzoek waren onder meer: een kleine groepsgrootte, relatief hoge beginscores, en een selectiebias door een hoge sociaal-economische status. Verder onderzoek naar de effectiviteit van verkorte MBSR trainingen bij ouderen wordt aanbevolen, evenals onderzoek naar de invloed van leeftijd en welzijn op zelfrapportage metingen van mindfulness en andere psychologische schalen.

▼ A infertilidade é uma doença do sistema reprodutor definida pela incapacidade de alcançar uma gravidez após um período de, pelo menos, 12 meses de relações sexuais desprotegidas. A literatura aponta para a existência de consequências psicológicas associadas ao seu diagnóstico e tratamento. Esta é uma condição indutora de stresse na vida dos casais e muitos podem ainda relatar sintomas de depressão. O stresse e a depressão têm vindo a ser alvo de estudo em pessoas com infertilidade, contudo, o papel de processos de regulação emocional, como o evitamento experiencial, tem sido menos explorado. O presente estudo pretende explorar o eventual papel mediador do evitamento experiencial na relação entre o stresse relacionado com a infertilidade (impacto sobre os domínios da vida afetados pela experiência da infertilidade e representações acerca da importância da parentalidade) e os sintomas depressivos. A amostra foi constituída por 98 participantes com diagnóstico de infertilidade a realizar tratamento médico, sendo a divulgação do estudo efetuada através da Associação Portuguesa de Fertilidade. Tendo em consideração os objetivos deste estudo foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: Questionário sociodemográfico e clínico, Questionário de Aceitação e Ação II (AAQ-II), Inventário de Problemas de Fertilidade (FPI) e Escalas de Ansiedade, Depressão e Stresse (EADS-21). De modo a avaliar a existência de um efeito mediador foram conduzidas path analysis. Os dados apontaram para o facto de o impacto da infertilidade sobre os domínios da vida apresentar um efeito direto sobre os sintomas de depressão, mas ter também um efeito indireto, mediado pelo evitamento experiencial. Relativamente às representações acerca da importância da parentalidade estas apenas têm efeito nos sintomas depressivos, quando mediadas pelo evitamento experiencial. Assim, é de salientar a importância do evitamento experiencial enquanto processo de regulação emocional que deverá ser contemplado em programas de intervenção psicológica dirigidos a pessoas com infertilidade. / Infertility is a disease of the reproductive system defined by the inability to achieve a pregnancy after a period of, at least, 12 months of unprotected intercourse. The literature has been pointing to the existence of psychological consequences associated with diagnosis and medical treatment of infertility. Infertility is a stress-inducing condition in couples’ lives and some of them can also show depressive symptoms. Although stress and depression have been addressed in individuals facing infertility, the role of emotion regulation processes such as experiential avoidance has been less explored. This study aims to explore the possible mediating role of experiential avoidance in the relationship between infertility related stress (impact of infertility in infertile patients’ life and representations about the importance of parenthood) and depressive symptoms. The sample consisted of 98 participants with an infertility diagnosis pursuing medical treatment. Participants were recruited…

▼ Experts have argued that hoarding disorder occurs in part because hoarding behaviors help individuals avoid distress and feel positive emotions in the moment. For example, when people who hoard choose to save something rather than discard it, they may avoid feelings of anxiety, and when people who hoard acquire something new, they may feel excited. However, no previous studies have examined whether or not these changes actually occur in the moment. These processes could also potentially be altered by how individuals respond to their emotions in the moment. For example, individuals who hoard may have stronger emotional reactions, distinguish less between different emotions, tend to avoid their emotions more, or tend to be inattentive of their experience, which could change how their emotions in the moment affect their behavior. Therefore, this study examined whether or not the anticipated effects of hoarding behaviors on mood occurred, and whether or not there were differences between those with higher and lower hoarding scores on how they respond to their emotions, in a sample of 61 college students. Participants completed two online surveys one week apart, and responded to questions on their mobile phone throughout the week. As expected, the students with higher hoarding scores had stronger emotional reactions to stress, avoided their emotions more often, and were less attentive to their ongoing experience. Both those with higher hoarding scores and lower hoarding scores vi reported that they acquired new items primarily to feel good. However, acquiring, discarding, working with items, and looking for items did not change either group’s mood in the moment. Overall, these findings suggest that people who hoard do have differences in how they respond to their emotions, which could mean that treatments that target these responses may be useful for these people. They also show the importance of understanding why working to put yourself in a good mood through acquiring is problematic for some people and not others, and suggest that there may be a difference between how these behaviors are intended to perform and their actual results.

▼ The purpose of this dissertation was to elaborate and expand research examining the incorporation of yoga in the prevention and treatment of eating disorders in addition to the amelioration of body image and related factors through a two-study design. Study One recruited participants from a Midwestern psychology subject pool. One-hundred fifty women completed Study One. Results indicated that self-compassion, mindfulness, and body appreciation were negatively related to eating disorder pathology, body mass index (BMI), and experiential avoidance. BMI, eating disorder pathology, and experiential avoidance were all positively correlated with one another. Mediational analyses indicated the self-compassion was a significant mediator between overweight preoccupation and disordered eating as well as experiential avoidance and eating disorder pathology included global EDE-Q scores, appearance evaluation, and overweight preoccupation. Study Two was a repeated measures quasi-experimental design assessing changes in self-compassion, mindfulness, body appreciation, body dissatisfaction (overweight preoccupation, appearance orientation, appearance evaluation) and eating disorder pathology associated with yoga-practice over the course of eight weeks. Participants (university students) were recruited from 8-week yoga courses meeting three times a week for 50 minutes and completed measures at Time 1 (first day of class) and Time 2 (last 2 classes â 8 weeks later). While the explanatory relationship noted in Study One was not assessed, there were significant changes over time. Participants reported improvements in self-compassion, yoga self-efficacy, and body appreciation. Additionally, participants reported less appearance orientation. Less parsimonious results were noted for body dissatisfaction and eating disorder variables. However, the results are promising and suggest that yoga may be beneficial in improving body appreciation and self-compassion which could buffer against later development of eating disorder pathology and greater body dissatisfaction.

▼ A large body of research has examined the appropriate time course of psychotherapy across a variety of therapeutic modalities. Research in the area of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has indicated the efficacy of single-session interventions in improving anxiety, depression, and even weight loss. These findings, though promising, are accompanied by the question of how much ACT is enough to make a statistically and clinically significant difference in symptoms. The present study sought to clarify this question among individuals with depression. Adults (N = 271) with elevated depressive symptoms were recruited via mass emails for a study comparing the relative effectiveness of time-variant single-session ACT interventions (90 minutes, 3 hours, 6 hours). Inclusion criteria included PHQ-8 score 10, no history of TBI, no current psychotherapy, and no medication changes in the past 60 days. Eligible participants completed a screening interview, which included modules from the M.I.N.I. Exclusion criteria included active suicidality, past or current mania, and past or current psychoses. If interested in participating (n=351), eligible participants could complete the baseline measure after enrolling in the study. Participants were randomized to a single-session 90-minute, 3-hour, or 6-hour group ACT intervention. About half (51.2%) of enrolled and randomized participants completed their assigned group intervention. Follow-up assessments were completed at 1-month and 3-months post-intervention with limited attrition. Longitudinal mixed-effects modeling was used to examine change over time and between conditions. Findings indicated that depressive symptoms and avoidance decreased over time, and social satisfaction increased over time. Differences between conditions and interactions between time and condition were not observed. Equivalency analyses revealed that the 3- and 6-hour groups were not within the margin of equivalence in terms of depressive symptoms. Mindfulness analyses revealed that at 3-month follow-up, the 3- and 6-hour groups reported higher mindfulness than the 90-minute group. The findings have public health implications in terms of reaching a larger number of patients with increased efficiency. Given the far greater patient demand than number of therapists available, increased access and efficiency are of great importance. The results also suggest that individuals with depression can make rapid, sustainable changes, and this is of critical importance clinically. Limitations included a homogenous sample of primarily white, highly educated females, and the lack of a no-treatment control group. The findings of the current study indicate that brief group ACT interventions can result in change in both processes (avoidance, mindfulness) and functioning (depressive symptoms, social satisfaction) months after the single-session intervention. Future research should examine the effectiveness of brief interventions with other symptomatology as compared to a no-treatment control or a more… Advisors/Committee Members: O'Hara, Michael W.

▼ Persons living with chronic pain encounter a host of physical and psychosocial problems resulting in a loss of quality of life and increased disability. The construct of avoidance has been proposed as a mechanism by which these changes in functioning occur. This study explored the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) construct of experiential avoidance and its conceptualization within the ACT model of avoidance, the Cycle of Avoidance. The model is introduced as a framework for integrating an existing model of chronic pain and avoidance, the Schema Enmeshment Model of Pain (SEMP), thus providing a more comprehensive perspective. The study used empirically validated measures to explore constructs integral to the Avoidance Cycle, namely anxiety sensitivity, catastrophizing, experiential avoidance, and their associations with anxiety, depression, quality of life, and disability. The construct of enmeshment, which is a major component of the SEMP, was examined as a conceptualization of the Avoidance Cycle's stage of Entanglement. The study also examined participant's perceptions of the temporal relationships in the Avoidance Cycle. The ACT and SEMP constructs were examined using multi-method assessment including written questionnaires, brief interview, and chart review. Participants were 139 adults with chronic, nonmalignant pain, recruited from a university pain clinic. Results showed that the components of the Avoidance Cycle of catastrophizing and pain-specific experiential avoidance predicted participants' degree of enmeshment and enmeshment in turn predicted the mental. component of quality of life and disability. Pain-specific experiential avoidance was shown to partially mediate the relationship between pain intensity and mental quality of life and disability, but enmeshment was not shown to be mediator between pain intensity and functional status. Regarding the temporal nature of chronic pain and psychological symptoms, rates of participants with self-reported psychological problems increased by 70% after onset of chronic pain. Further those participants who had higher scores on measures of catastrophising, enmeshment, and experiential avoidance were more likely to report their health as worse than one year ago. These results support the utility of using the Avoidance Cycle and SEMP as models of avoidance in chronic pain and explore relationships within the model.

▼ Harsh and punitive parenting styles have been historically associated with the development of eating pathology. More recently, early maladaptive schemas and experiential avoidance have also been implicated in disordered eating. Maladaptive schemas are cognitive scripts that are theorized to be learned within maladaptive environments and repeated throughout an individual’s life. Experiential avoidance involves a tendency to avoid negative emotional experiences through maladaptive strategies. Both maladaptive schemas and experiential avoidance have been implicated in the development of many psychological issues, including eating pathology. The current study attempts to bridge these bodies of literature to develop a model in which cognitive and emotional processes relate to perceived maladaptive parenting styles and the development of eating pathology. Two studies are presented within the current dissertation. The first is a survey based quantitative study that assesses the influence of perceived authoritarian parenting style on the development of binge and restrictive eating pathology. This study examines the mediating role of maladaptive schemas and the moderating role of experiential avoidance. Results of the study demonstrate that specific maladaptive schemas (i.e., mistrust/abuse, emotional deprivation, and defectiveness/shame) mediate the relation between perceived authoritarian parenting and restrictive eating, particularly for those participants with higher levels of experiential avoidance. A different set of maladaptive schemas (i.e., defectiveness/shame, subjugation, and insufficient self-control/self-discipline) was found to significantly mediate the relation between perceived authoritarian parenting and binge eating pathology. Within this model however, low levels of experiential avoidance did not mitigate the effects of maladaptive schemas on the development of binge eating. Using a thematically driven exploratory qualitative analysis in the second study, similar themes were observed in a series of interviews, highlighting the influence of parenting style, participant characteristics, and specific food/weight related issues in the development of disordered eating. New and interesting themes not addressed within Study 1 emerged, providing insight relevant to future clinical and theoretical work. The results of both studies emphasize the role of particular cognitive and emotional factors in the development of different forms of eating pathology. Implications for theory and clinical practice are discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Grand, Michael (advisor).
