Abstract
Early memories of warmth and safeness and eating psychopathology: the mediating role of social safeness and body appreciation
Highlights
Literature has shown that early affiliative experiences seem to play an important role in our physical and psychological well-being (Collins, Maccoby, Steinberg, Heatherington, & Bornstein, 2000; Gilbert & Perris, 2000; Schore, 1994)
Empirical studies have emphasized the existence of a link between early memories of warmth and safeness and adaptive emotional regulation processes and mental health (Ferreira et al, 2016; Richter et al, 2009; Schore, 1994)
The role of social safeness and body appreciation, as potential mechanisms associated with decreased eating psychopathology symptomatology, remained scarcely explored
Summary
Literature has shown that early affiliative experiences seem to play an important role in our physical and psychological well-being (Collins, Maccoby, Steinberg, Heatherington, & Bornstein, 2000; Gilbert & Perris, 2000; Schore, 1994). Several authors have demonstrated that negative rearing experiences, characterized by rejection, abuse, neglect and shame, are associated with a wide range of interpersonal and emotional difficulties and with higher vulnerability to psychopathology (Gilbert & Perris, 2000; Irons, Gilbert, Baldwin, Baccus, & Palmer, 2006), namely eating psychopathology (Ferreira, Matos, Duarte, & Pinto-Gouveia, 2014; Vartanian et al, 2014). In face of other’s behaviours, individuals may display different emotional responses (Gilbert, Cheung, Grandfield, Campey, & Irons, 2003). In this line, rather than focusing on interactions or others’ behaviours, recent research has privileged the study of the recall of early interpersonal interactions, i.e., the way one recalls feelings within early relationships (Gilbert et al, 2003)
