| Abstract [eng] |
Eating intuitively should be easier by observing your body image without an assessment that could provoke impulsive, destructive eating and accepting your body as it is. In order to expand knowledge about intuitive eating, the aim of the study was to identify the relationships between students' intuitive eating, mindfulness, and body acceptance. The subjects of the study were 157 bachelor and master students (ages 19 to 61, mean = 29.75), of whom 136 were women and 21 men. Participants were interviewed in an online survey via the Facebook platform. The study variables were assessed with the following questionnaires: Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2, Tylka & Kroon Van Diest, 2013), The Body Appreciation Scale 2 (BAS-2; Tylka & Wood-Barcalow, 2015), The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS; Brown & Ryan, 2003). The results of the study showed that students' intuitive eating is predicted by body acceptance and mindfulness. It was also studied that the more a student feeds intuitively, the more likely they are to have a lower body mass index and subjectively better assess their health. |
