While mindful eating is known as a predictor of eating attitudes, it is known that self-compassion, which is a newly introduced concept in the literature, is closely related to mindful eating and eating attitudes. The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive role of self-compassion and mindful eating in eating attitudes in women who go to a dietitian and who do not. The sample of the study consisted of 435 female participants who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study, aged between 18-59 (M.=31.65, SD.=9.31), 230 (52.9%) and not 205 dieticians (47.1%). In addition to the Sociodemographic Information and Data Form, Eating Attitude Test (EAT), The Mindful Eating Questionnare (MEQ) and The Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) were given to participants via online. Hierarchical regression analysis results demonstrated that the role of self-compassion and mindful eating have distinct role according to going/not going to dietitian. While mindful eating and selfcompassion predicted eating attitudes among women who go to dietitian to lose weight, did not predict among women who do not. This difference highlight the importance of investigating these predictors in preventing eating disorders, noting that there are different predictors of eating attitudes between the risk group and the general population Turkish Eating Disorders, Eating Attitudes, Mindful Eating, Self-Compassion, Self Judgement https://www.ktppdergisi.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/5-Yeme-Tutumlar%C4%B1n%C4%B1-Yordamada-%C3%96z-Anlay%C4%B1%C5%9F-ve-Yeme-Fark%C4%B1ndal%C4%B1%C4%9F%C4%B1n%C4%B1n-Rol%C3%BC-Kar%C5%9F%C4%B1la%C5%9Ft%C4%B1rmal%C4%B1-Bir-%C3%87al%C4%B1%C5%9Fma.pdf https://www.ktppdergisi.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/5-Yeme-Tutumlar%C4%B1n%C4%B1-Yordamada-%C3%96z-Anlay%C4%B1%C5%9F-ve-Yeme-Fark%C4%B1ndal%C4%B1%C4%9F%C4%B1n%C4%B1n-Rol%C3%BC-Kar%C5%9F%C4%B1la%C5%9Ft%C4%B1rmal%C4%B1-Bir-%C3%87al%C4%B1%C5%9Fma.pdf https://www.ktppdergisi.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/5-Yeme-Tutumlar%C4%B1n%C4%B1-Yordamada-%C3%96z-Anlay%C4%B1%C5%9F-ve-Yeme-Fark%C4%B1ndal%C4%B1%C4%9F%C4%B1n%C4%B1n-Rol%C3%BC-Kar%C5%9F%C4%B1la%C5%9Ft%C4%B1rmal%C4%B1-Bir-%C3%87al%C4%B1%C5%9Fma.pdf English References 160 161
