Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Previous studies have found that brief ACT interventions are effective for the reduction of emotional eating. Our laboratory has recently developed and pilot-tested a one-day ACT workshop intervention for emotional eating, which was found to be effective for reducing emotional eating and deemed feasible and acceptable by participants.
The present study was developed with the aim to adapt the above mentioned workshop intervention to an online format in the context of the COVID-19 crisis. The study aims to test the efficacy, feasibility and acceptability of a brief, online version of the above mentioned one-day ACT workshop for emotional eating. The workshops will be delivered through the Zoom online platform.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Online ACT workshop for Emotional Eating
All participants will be assigned to 2, 1.5 hour interventions using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to help reduce emotional eating.
Virtual ACT Workshop for Emotional Eating
This is a brief online intervention using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) technique to target and reduce emotional eating. The intervention will be modeled after Frayn and Knäuper's 1-day ACT workshop for emotional eating intervention, which was derived from Forman and colleagues' "Mind Your Health Program". During the workshop, the following topics will be discussed, based on the three processes of ACT: (1) values clarification/commitment, (2) acceptance/distress tolerance, and (3) mindfulness/awareness.
