Drunkorexia and Trait Mindfulness among College Students
Shannon Speed; Rose Marie Ward
Journal of American College Health, v72 n2 p571-577 2024
Objective: Combined alcohol and disordered eating (drunkorexia) are alcohol fueled weight management behaviors. Mindfulness negatively relates to both disordered eating and alcohol use. Participants: Participants (n = 344, average age 20) were primarily female (85.2%, n = 293), and Caucasian (82.6%, n = 284). Methods: Students reported drunkorexia and mindfulness. Results: Drunkorexia behaviors were negatively correlated with Acting with Awareness (AA; full attention to a present moment; r = -0.21, p < 0.001) and Nonjudgment (NJ; understanding and leniency toward oneself; r = -0.22, p < 0.001). Drunkorexia motivations are significantly correlated with AA (r = -0.13, p = 0.01) and NJ (r = -0.18, p = 0.001). Structural equation modeling revealed higher levels of NJ related to higher levels of drunkorexia. Conclusion: The objective was to determine a potential relationship between drunkorexia behaviors and motivations, and trait mindfulness. Findings suggest a nonjudgmental disposition relates to lower levels of drunkorexia.
