Title:Power Of Pen: Expressive Writing As An Intervention Tool On Exposure To Thin-Ideal Images With Dietary Restraint And Self-Compassion As Covariates
Author Name: Dennis Relojo and Angelo Emil Gagani
Synopsis:
Expressive Writing (EW) has been recognised as an intervention tool for thin-ideal images. However, to date, there are limited studies which investigated its efficacy to involve dietary restraint and self-compassion as moderating variables. The present work assessed the efficacy of EW in improving levels of body satisfaction and positive affect among 140 Filipino female university students ageing 18-25. They were tested in groups and wrote either about life goals (n = 46), positive experiences (n = 49) or a control topic (n = 46). It further examined how EW could benefit people on the basis of their levels of dietary restraint and self-compassion. Results demonstrated that EW has no significant effect on body satisfaction and positive affect. However, it was revealed that dietary restraint and self-compassion have moderating effects.
