Research in Review: A Brief Look at Current Studies in the Literature By Dawn Bhat, MA, MS, NCC Research from the fields of contemporary medicine and mental health is increasingly validating the mind-body continuum, the heart of somatic studies. Drawing from clinical and basic science, phenomenological and case studies, and literature reviews, this column is dedicated to sharing research from multiple perspectives that may potentially impact the field of body psychotherapy. Managing Mood with Food Gardner, M. P., Wansink, B., Kim, J., & Park, S.-B. (2014). Better moods for better eating?: How mood influences food choice. Journal of Consumer Psychology. doi:10.1016/j.jcps.2014.01.002 j.jcps.2014.01.002 The present study examined the influence mood has on food preferences. Positive mood supported the importance of long-tern goals such as health and led to greater preference for healthy foods over indulgent foods. Whereas, negative mood supported the importance of immediate, concrete goals such as mood management and led to greater preference for indulgent foods over healthy foods. The Body and Eating Patterns in Women Allen, J., Gervais, S. J., & Smith, J. L. (2013). Sit big to eat big: The interaction of body posture and body concern on restrained eating. Psychology of Women Quarterly, 37(3), 325–336 Expanded and constricted posture moderates body image and contributes to food intake in women. Feminine stereotypes suggest women be small, restrict movements, speak softly, and limit food intake. The present study examined whether women with expanded and constricted postures moderated the relation between body image and restricted eating. As predicted, women sitting in expansive postures restrained their eating less compared to women in constrictive postures. As such, postural constriction strengthened the link between body image and restricted eating. Dawn Bhat, MA, MS, NCC, holds graduate degrees in General Psychology and Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is a Nationally Certified Counselor. She has experience in neuropsychology and has training in somatic modalities, including Somatic Experiencing and Focusing. Dawn receives clinical supervision from and is a psychotherapy researcher under the guidance of Jacqueline A. Carleton, Ph.D. of the USABP. Feel free to reach Dawn: dawn.bhat@gmail.com.

Eating Psychology: The Role of Nature and Nurture Racine, S. E., Keel, P. K., Burt, S. A., Sisk, C. L., Neale, M., Boker, S., & Klump, K. L. (2013). Exploring the relationship between negative urgency and dysregulated eating: Etiologic associations and the role of negative affect. Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 122(2), 433. Negative urgency is the tendency to engage in rash action in response to negative affect, which contributes to individual differences and personality traits involved in the psychology of eating. The present study examined the genetic and environment associations with dysregulated eating (binge eating, emotional eating, etc.) and established the relationship between negative urgency and negative affect. In a sample of 222 same-sex female twin pairs from the Michigan State University Twin Registry, genetic factors accounted for the phenotypic association found between negative urgency and dysregulated eating (62-77%). Negative affect and negative urgency covaried significantly and was controlled for in the previous analyses. On the other hand, non-shared environmental factors accounted for the rest of the association (23-38%). Interestingly, the non-shared environmental factors were unrelated to negative affect. The authors conclude that emotionally based actions (i.e., negative urgency) coupled with negative affect increased genetic risk associated with dysregulated eating. As such, this study showed that mood and genetic factors play roles in the psychology of eating.
