AbstractRecent literature has emphasized the role played by early emotional experiences on body image and eating-related psychopathology. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the link between positive rearing experiences and eating psychopathology remain scarcely explored. Thus, this study aimed to explore a model in which it was hypothesized that early emotional experiences, characterized by warmth, safeness, and soothing, are negatively associated with disordered eating through higher levels of self-compassion and a more positive and caring relationship with one’s own body. The study’s sample comprised 490 women who completed an Internet based survey comprising self-report measures of interest. Path analysis’ results revealed that self-compassion and body appreciation fully mediated the impact of early positive emotional memories on eating psychopathology, when controlling the effect of age and Body Mass Index. The plausibility of the path model was examined by the Chi-Square and the several fit indicators which revealed a very good fit, accounting for 49% of eating psychopathology’s variance. Specifically, results demonstrated that 13% of self-compassion’s variance was explained by positive early emotional memories. Also, early positive memories showed both direct and indirect (via self-compassion) positive effects on body appreciation, accounting for 34% of its variance. Additionally, results revealed that positive early emotional experiences predicted lower levels of disordered eating, via higher levels of self-compassion and body appreciation. By emphasizing the importance role of self-compassion and body appreciation against body image and eating psychopathology, the current study may offer important insights for future research and for the development of intervention programs.

Metric Invariance

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the intricate associations among the performance of ambient atmospherics, emotional experiences, overall image and guest satisfaction and test the influence of these relationships on loyalty intentions by considering the moderating impact of continuance commitment in the upscale hotel context.Design/methodology/approachA field survey was conducted to collect the data. A quantitative approach was used for data analysis. Structural equation modeling and a test for metric invariance were used to identify the impact of study variables.FindingsThe results of this paper indicated that the hypothesized relationships were in general significant, that the proposed theoretical framework satisfactorily predicted guests’ intentions to be loyal and that the role of satisfaction among study constructs was prominent. Findings from the test for metric invariance also showed that continuance commitment significantly affected the associations among emotional experiences, satisfaction and loyalty intentions. Moreover, emotional experiences, overall hotel image and guest satisfaction were found to play a significant mediating role in generating loyalty intentions.Practical implicationsThe findings of this paper inform hotel practitioners of the clear role of atmospherics, emotional experiences, image, satisfaction and continuous commitment in building loyalty. In addition, these findings can help hotel practitioners and researchers invent thorough and strategic methods for loyalty enhancement.Originality/valueThe existing hotel literature has provided a limited view regarding the impact of these research variables. The present paper filled this research gap through the successfully development of a robust framework for hotel guest loyalty.

The Impact

Objectives. This review assessed the impact of COVID-19 and restrictions related to the pandemic (e.g., social distancing and lockdown) on body image, disordered eating, and eating disorder outcomes. Method. After registration on PROSPERO, a systematic search was conducted for papers published between 1 December 2019 and 1 August 2021, using the databases PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, CINAHL Plus, AMED, MEDLINE, ERIC, EMBASE, Wiley, and ProQuest. Results. A final sample of 74 reports, describing 75 studies, was included, and data from qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies were synthesized using a convergent integrated approach. Four themes were generated: (1) disruptions due to COVID-19; (2) variability in the improvement or exacerbation of symptoms; (3) risk and protective factors; and (4) unique challenges for marginalized and underrepresented groups. Findings across studies showed variation in individuals’ responses to, and experiences of, the current pandemic. Discussion. There is large variability in how individuals respond to COVID-19 and limited research exploring the effect of the pandemic on body image, disordered eating, and eating disorder outcomes using longitudinal and experimental study designs. Based on the findings of this review, we recommend that individuals reduce time spent on social media, maintain contact with family and friends, make time for self-care, and keep daily routines. Additionally, researchers should target more diverse participant samples and conduct longitudinal research on risk and protective factors of COVID-19 and long-term outcomes. Finally, clinicians should consider adopting flexible treatment practices, taking into account COVID-19 restrictions, patient preferences, and unique participant needs.
