Launched earlier this year, Translational Issues in Psychological Science (TPS) is a collaboration between APA and APAGS that allows a guest editor to work with a team of associate editors who are advanced predoctoral or early postdoctoral scholars.
Each issue of the journal is based on a different theme within psychological science. The September issue focuses on psychological advances in obesity; its guest editor is Gareth R. Dutton, PhD.
The issue’s articles are:
- Addressing the obesity epidemic through psychological research.
- Inhibitory control is associated with psychosocial, cognitive, and weight outcomes in a longitudinal sample of girls.
- Addictive-like eating mediates the association between eating motivations and elevated body mass index.
- Associations among self-compassion, mindful eating, eating disorder symptomatology, and body mass index in college students.
- Physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and health-related quality of life in rural Hispanic youth.
- Neurocognitive response to dairy milk versus fruit juice in obese and lean individuals.
- Digesting antifat attitudes: Locus of control and social dominance orientation.
- Examining experiences of weight-related oppression in a bariatric sample: A qualitative exploration.
- Evaluating political candidates: Does weight matter?
- Intergroup contact and weight bias reduction.
