Examining The Parallel Mediating Effect Of Emotion Dysregulation And Eating Beliefs In The Association Between Low Self¬-Esteem And Binge Eating Behaviours, Farah Al Mohammed

Research in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) around the causes and non-pharmacological treatment options of binge eating behaviours and other eating disorders is limited.

A topic that is highly researched nowadays in the UAE is eating disorders (EDs).

Literature has suggested that there are several factors that can make an individual vulnerable to EDs, including family dynamics and attachment styles. This thesis is an attempt to examine the impact of family dynamics and early attachment on mental health wellbeing. The main objective is to examine how family dysfunctional concepts (rigid, chaotic, enmeshed, and disengaged) and attachment styles (close, dependent, and anxious) can be potential risk factors …

The present study investigates psychosocial factors expected to predict an acceptance of cosmetic surgery among young adult women in the UAE. It was hypothesized that high selfie behavior, high narcissism, and low levels of religiosity would have a positive association with an interest in cosmetic surgery. The factors that motivate people to undergo cosmetic surgery were assessed using the 15-item Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale. Selfie behavior was examined using two questions derived from previous research. Narcissism was assessed using the 16-item Narcissistic …
