Essstörungen bleiben ein relevantes Thema für Praxis und Forschung : ein Interview mit Brunna Tuschen-Caffier
Full text linkEssstörungen wie die Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa und Binge-Eating-Störung sind psychische Störungen, die bereits frühzeitig beginnen, gravierende körperliche und psychische Folgeprobleme nach sich ziehen können und häufig einen chronischen Verlauf haben. Daher stellen diese Störungen ein wichtiges Behandlungsfeld für Psychotherapeutinnen und Psychotherapeuten dar. Die häufig zu beobachtende Persistenz der Symptomatik verlangt jedoch nicht nur von den Betroffenen, sondern auch von den Therapeutinnen und Therapeuten eine hohe Frustrationstoleranz. Das Interview mit Frau Prof. Dr. Brunna Tuschen-Caffier, einer in der Forschung exzellent ausgewiesenen «Essstörungsspezialistin» und in der praktischen Umsetzung der kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie erfahrenen Expertin, gibt wichtige Hinweise auf aktuelle Forschungstrends und neue Behandlungsmöglichkeiten im Bereich der verschiedenen Essstörungen. Das Gespräch führte Prof. rer. nat. Ulrike Ehlert, Zürich
Psychophysiological Indicators of successful emotion regulation
No full textEmotion regulation has been identified as a fundamental predictor for psychological well-being. Deficits in emotion regulation are considered a transdiagnostic factor in mental disorders.
While the associations of successful emotion regulation with different outcomes like psychological well-being have been extensively studied, less is known about what variables determine success in emotion regulation itself. Additionally, emotion regulation success is often operationalized as the subjective rating of perceived success. Fewer studies take in consideration the reduced physiological arousal as an indicator of emotion regulation success, despite physiological arousal being regarded as a crucial part of emotional experiencing.
The aim of this study is to depict emotion regulation success on a subjective and physiological level and its association with neurophysiological patterns during an emotion regulation task (suppression and cognitive reappraisal). Physiological arousal will be assessed using electrodermal activity (EDA).
More specifically, we test the association between alpha and theta oscillations with subjective as well as physiological emotion regulation success. Alpha and theta oscillations will be recorded using electroencephalography (EEG). Relations between these measures and other control variables like subjective difficulty of the task, emotional reactivity and habitual emotion regulation styles should be examined
Relationships between Shape and Weight Concerns, Body Dissatisfaction, Appearance-related Rejection Sensitivity and Stress Reactivity in the Trier Social Stress Test
No full textConcerns regarding shape and weight, alongside dissatisfaction with one's body, are pivotal factors contributing to the onset and perpetuation of eating disorders. The excessive focus on weight and shape as determinants of self-worth, coupled with discontent with one's appearance, correlates strongly with appearance-related rejection sensitivity—a characteristic feature of appearance-related psychological issues. This sensitivity manifests as a heightened anticipation of social rejection based on one's appearance, leading to heightened perception of cues and exaggerated reactions.
Increased preoccupation with and dissatisfaction regarding one's body, coupled with an intensified fear of negative judgment and rejection due to appearance, can escalate stress levels in socially challenging situations. To our knowledge, this connection has not yet been investigated, but could offer an explanation for the frequently abnormal stress response of people with eating disorders.
Hence, our aim is to explore whether elevated shape and weight concerns, increased body dissatisfaction, and heightened appearance-related rejection sensitivity can predict a greater subjective stress experience and an altered cardiovascular stress response during interpersonal stress induction. Initially, we will analyze the correlations among these predictors to gain a clearer understanding of their relationships. Following this, we will assess the individual contributions of these variables to the predicition of stress reactivity in the Trier Social Stress Test. Finally, we will scrutinize which predictors and interactions should be incorporated into a regression model to optimize the prediction of stress reactivity in the Trier Social Stress Test
The Relationship between Stress, Attentional Processes, Food Cravings, and Binge Eating
No full textThe interplay between stress, attentional processes, food cravings, and binge eating has garnered significant research interest due to its implications for emotional well-being and eating behaviors. However, the underlying mechanisms of these relationships remain incompletely understood. This study aims to investigate the influence of stress induction on attentional biases towards food cues, the intensity of food cravings, and eating behavior, while also exploring potential differences between individuals with binge eating episodes and a healthy control group.
The study involves two appointments, during which attentional bias will be measured using an eye-tracking paradigm, food cravings will be assessed through self-report questionnaires, and eating behavior will be evaluated using a snack test. Stress will be induced during one of the appointments using a digital version of the Trier Social Stress Test, with the appointment order randomized.
Mixed-model ANOVAs will be utilized to analyze the effects of stress induction on attentional bias and eating behavior in both groups. Regression analyses will beu used to further explore whether stress-induced changes in attention bias can predict alterations in eating behavior.
We anticipate that stress induction will heighten attentional biases towards food cues, intensify food cravings, and increase food intake compared to the control condition. Additionally, we aim to investigate whether changes in attentional bias can predict alterations in food intake and if changes in attentional bias and craving are correlated. Furthermore, we want to explore if these relationships are more pronounced in individuals with binge eating episodes.
Understanding the specific mechanisms underlying stress, attentional processes, food cravings, and binge eating can inform the development of targeted interventions for individuals with binge eating. This research has the potential to contribute to the advancement of evidence-based treatments aimed at breaking the cycle of stress-induced binge eating
Smart Emotions - Training of emotion regulation stategies in adolescents
No full textTraining that focuses on improving emotion regulation can contribute to the functional regulation of negative situations and the reduction of psychopathological symptoms. Adolescents between the ages of 14 and 21 will be examined on the spectrum of none to existing problems in internalizing disorders (anxiety and depressive disorders). This is a dissertation project including two studys investigating trainings of emotion regulation strategies (study 1: in lab, study 2: in everyday life). Participants take part in both studies (see Figure "Figure_procedure_project" for an overview)
