Abstract
The study at hand used an adapted version of the Imagery Rescripting (=ImRs) protocol by Arnzt and Weertman to examine the differential effects of ImRs inducing self-compassion or self-mastery on negative core beliefs and eating disorder (=ED) symptoms. Furthermore, the moderating role of clinical perfectionism has been investigated. Twenty-one women at risk to develop an ED participated in this study. They were randomly assigned into either self-compassion group (N=13) or self-mastery-group (N=8). Negative core beliefs and eating disorder symptoms were assessed before and after the ImRs intervention. The results have shown a significant time effect regarding ED symptoms and negative core beliefs and a non-significant time x group effect, meaning that both groups had a decrease in negative core beliefs and ED symptoms at follow up, regardless of in which group they were in. Differential effects of self-compassion or self-mastery cannot be observed. Furthermore, a non-significant time x group x perfectionism effect was found for ED symptoms and negative core beliefs, meaning that perfectionism did not moderate effects.
