Repetitive negative thinking (i.e., rumination) may lead to maladaptive eating behaviors. While numerous studies have focused on dieting and disinhibited eating behaviors in clinical samples, less is known about these behaviors in nonclinical samples with normal body weight. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore how dieting, uncontrolled eating and emotional eating are related to rumination in adult women with normal body weight. One hundred eighty-eight women (Mage = 29.46 \u00b1 8.94; MBMI = 23.16 \u00b1 4.04) were involved in the current study. The Eating Attitudes Test, the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-R18 and the Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire were administered to the participants. The results showed that repetitive negative thinking was a partial mediator in the relationship between dieting and uncontrolled eating, as well as in the relationship between dieting and emotional eating. Targeting repetitive negative thinking may be important for reducing disinhibited eating patterns in women with normal body weight.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu13072475","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,20]],"date-time":"2021-07-20T05:10:59Z","timestamp":1626757859000},"page":"2475","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Dieting and Disinhibited Eating Patterns in Adult Women with Normal Body Weight: Does Rumination Matter?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Justyna","family":"Wali\u0142ko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Psychology, University of Wroclaw, 50-527 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paulina","family":"Bronowicka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Psychology, University of Wroclaw, 50-527 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinbo","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Humanities and Social Science, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen 518172, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5178-371X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Brytek-Matera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychology in Katowice, SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities, 40-326 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"871","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291700049163","article-title":"The eating attitudes test: Psychometric features and clinical correlates","volume":"12","author":"Garner","year":"1982","journal-title":"Psychol.
