Emotion Recognition in Face and Body Motion in Bulimia Nervosa
This study investigated the ability of people with BN to recognise emotions in ambiguous facial expressions and in body movement. Participants were 26 women with BN, who were compared with 35 with AN, and 42 healthy controls. Participants completed an emotion recognition task by using faces portraying blended emotions, along with a body emotion recognition task by using videos of point‐light walkers. The results indicated that BN participants exhibited difficulties recognising disgust in less‐ambiguous facial expressions, and a tendency to interpret non‐angry faces as anger, compared with healthy controls. These diff...

Psychophysiological Changes during Pure vs Guided Mirror Exposure Therapies in Women with High Body Dissatisfaction: What Are They Learning about Their Bodies?
This study aimed to examine the psychophysiological changes resulting from two mirror exposure treatments that are effective at reducing body dissatisfaction. Thirty‐five university women with body dissatisfaction and subclinical eating disorders were randomly assigned to one of two groups: pure (n = 17) or guided exposure (n = 18). The participants received six sessions of treatment. Their thoughts, feelings and avoidance behaviours were assessed after each session. Their subjective discomfort, heart rate and skin conductance were assessed within the sessions. Both groups showed improvement in cognitive‐affectiv...

Improving Inhibitory Control Abilities (ImpulsE) —A Promising Approach to Treat Impulsive Eating?
Abstract
Although there is preliminary evidence that inhibitory control training improves impulsive eating, less is known about the effects on eating behaviour and weight loss in clinical samples. Sixty‐nine treatment‐seeking adults with obesity (binge‐eating disorder 33.3%; other specific feeding and eating disorders 40.6%) were randomly blockwise allocated to ImpulsE, an intervention to improve inhibitory control and emotion regulation abilities or a guideline‐appropriate cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)‐based treatment as usual. Self‐reported and performance‐based impulsivity, eating disorder pathology ...

A Readiness Ruler for Assessing Motivation to Change in People with Eating Disorders
We examined the psychometric properties of the Eating Disorder Readiness Ruler a simple self‐report instrument designed to enable rapid assessment of readiness to change problematic eating behaviours in people with clinical eating disorders.
MethodWe administered the ED‐RR, the Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire and a measure of autonomous and controlled motivation for change to 206 individuals receiving outpatient treatment for an eating disorder.
ResultsA principal axis factoring analysis of the ED‐RR yielded a significant two‐factor solution (explaining 59% of variance)—one factor pertaining to restric...

A Randomised Controlled Comparison of Second ‐Level Treatment Approaches for Treatment‐Resistant Adults with Bulimia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorder: Assessing the Benefits of Virtual Reality Cue Exposure Therapy
Abstract
A question that arises from the literature on therapy is whether second‐level treatment is effective for patients with recurrent binge eating who fail first‐level treatment. It has been shown that subjects who do not stop binge eating after an initial structured cognitive‐behavioural treatment (CBT) programme benefit from additional CBT (A‐CBT) sessions; however, it has been suggested that these resistant patients would benefit even more from cue exposure therapy (CET) targeting features associated with poor response (e.g. urge to binge in response to a cue and anxiety experienced in the presence of binge...

Visual Attention to Ambiguous Emotional Faces in Eating Disorders: Role of Alexithymia
Abstract
Eating disorders (EDs) are often accompanied by social–emotional problems. Recently, alexithymia has been suggested to explain objective emotion processing deficits in EDs. We tested if elevated levels of alexithymia may explain emotional face‐processing problems in a mixed ED group (N = 24, 19 with anorexia and five with bulimia), comparing them with high‐alexithymic (N = 25) and low‐alexithymic healthy controls (N = 25). Participants judged the mixture ratio of clear and ambiguous facial emotion blends while eye movements were recorded. The ED group was less accurate judging ambiguous blends ...

Subtypes of Personality and ‘Locus of Control’ in Bariatric Patients and their Effect on Weight Loss, Eating Disorder and Depressive Symptoms, and Quality of Life
Abstract
The present study subdivided personality types in a bariatric sample and investigated their impact on weight loss and psychopathology 6 and 12 months after surgery. One hundred thirty participants answered questionnaires on personality (NEO‐FFI), ‘locus of control’ (IPC), depression severity (BDI‐II), eating disorder psychopathology (EDE‐Q), and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL; SF‐12). K‐means cluster analyses were used to identify subtypes. Two subtypes emerged: an ‘emotionally dysregulated/undercontrolled’ cluster defined by high neuroticism and external orientation and a ‘resilient/...

Psychometric Evaluation and Norms for the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) in a Clinical Eating Disorders Sample
Abstract
Altered interoceptive awareness (IA) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of eating disorders; however, few comprehensive self‐report measures of IA exist in eating disorders. The present study sought to validate the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA), originally developed to assess IA in individuals practicing mind–body therapies, in an eating disorder sample. Adult and adolescent patients (n = 376) completed assessments upon admission to a partial hospital programme. Analyses examined the factor structure of the MAIA, scale means, scale–scale correlations, internal cons...

Relationships Between Self ‐Reported and Observed Parenting Behaviour, Adolescent Disordered Eating Attitudes and Behaviours, and the 5‐HTTLPR Polymorphism: Data From the Australian Temperament Project
This study examined whether self‐reported and observationally measured parental behaviours were associated with disordered eating, and investigated possible moderation by a serotonin‐transporter polymorphism (5‐HTTLPR). Study 1 included 650 adolescents from the Australian Temperament Project who completed the Eating Disorder Inventory‐2 Drive for Thinness and Bulimia scales at 15/16 years and were genotyped for 5‐HTTLPR. Parents completed an Australian Temperament Project‐devised measure of parental warmth and harsh punishment. Study 2 included a subgroup of 304 participants who also engaged in a video‐recor...
