본 연구는 마음챙김 기반 인지치료(MBCT) 프로그램이 폭식 경향성을 가진 대학생들의 폭식 행동, 정서적 섭식, 정서조절곤란 및 감정표현불능증에 미치는 효과를 알아보았다. 전북지역 남녀 대학생들 중 폭식척도에서 18점 이상에 해당하고, 정서적 섭식, 정서조절곤란, 감정표현불능증 점수가 높은 학생들 20명이 본 연구에 참가하였다. 사전 검사에서 폭식척도, 정서적 섭식척도, 감정표현불능증 척도, 한국판 정서조절곤란척도를 실시하였고, 최종 선발된 20명을 마음챙김 기반 인지치료 집단에 10명, 통제 집단에 10명씩 배정하였다. 마음챙김 기반 인지치료 프로그램은 총 9회기로 실시되었고, 프로그램 종료 후 사후검사가 실시되었으며, 6주 후 추적검사가 이루어졌다. 그 결과 마음챙김 기반 인지치료 집단이 통제집단보다 폭식행동, 정서조절곤란, 감정표현불능증, 정서적 섭식 중 불안으로 인한 섭식 수준이 유의하게 감소되었고, 추적검사까지 유지되었다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 의의와 제한점 및 추후 연구를 위한 제언이 논의되었다.


The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) on binge eating behavior, emotional eating, difficulties in emotional regulation, and alexithymia of the binge eating-prone university students. University students who lived in chonbuk province completed Binge eating scale (BES), Emotional Eating Scale (EES), Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS), and 20-Item Alexithymia Scale. Twenty participants who gained more than 18 point score by binge eating scale and have higher emotional eating, difficulties in emotional regulation and alexithymia were screened. Twenty participants were randomly assigned to 10 in the MBCT group and 10 in the control group. All participants completed Binge eating scale (BES), Emotional Eating Scale (EES), Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS), and 20-Item Alexithymia Scale at pretreatment, end of treatment, and at 6 weeks follow-up periods.
