The objective of the study was to investigate whether mindfulness mediated the relationship between attachment and eating disorders in a sample of 323 female university students and 38 anorexic inpatients using structural equation modeling. All insecure attachment subscales were positively related to eating disorder symptoms and negatively to mindfulness. Furthermore, mindfulness scores were negatively associated with eating disorder symptoms. Mediation analyses showed that the relationship between all the insecure attachment subscales and eating disorders was partially mediated by the mindfulness effects. These results are in line with Bateman and Fonagy's (2004a, 2004b) theory that implies a mediating role of mindfulness used as a proxy for mentalizing between attachment and psychopathology. Further research is needed, however, to replicate these findings.

在依恋和进食障碍之间进行心理思考的中介作用。

该研究的目的是使用结构方程模型研究正念是否介导了323名女大学生和38名厌食症患者的样本中依恋与进食障碍之间的关系。所有不安全的依恋分量表都与饮食失调症状正相关，与正念度负相关。此外，正念分数与饮食失调症状呈负相关。调解分析表明，所有不安全依恋分量表与进食障碍之间的关系部分由正念效应介导。这些结果与贝特曼和福纳吉（Bateman and Fonagy，2004a，2004b）的理论相符，该理论暗示着正念的中介作用被用作依恋和心理病理学之间的心理化代理。但是，需要进一步的研究，
