This research aims to explore the association between self-compassion, mindfulness, difficulties emotion regulation and eating behavior disorders (emotional eating, Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), Bulimia Nervosa (BN), Anorexia Nervosa (AN)) in Palestinian adolescents. A quantitative methodology was adopted in achieving research’s aims, where a questionnaire composed from four scales; the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM), the Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale - Short Form (DERS-SF) and the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) was distributed online among a sample of (200) adolescent students from the Arabs of the interior of Palestine. The results showed that there is a statistically significant prevalence of low mindfulness, lack of self-compassion, difficulty regulating emotions, and problematic eating behavior disorders among adolescent students from the Arabs of the interior of Palestine. The research also showed that that there is a statistically significant negative impact of overall mindfulness and overall self-compassion on eating behavior disorders of adolescent students of Arabs of the interior of Palestine. The research recommended the necessity for developing intervention programs to improve mindfulness and self-compassion for the individual in the early stages of childhood.
