The Influence of Personality Traits on Emotion Expression in Bulimic Spectrum Disorders: A Pilot Study
Abstract Facial expressions are critical in forming social bonds and in signalling one's emotional state to others. In eating disorder patients, impairments in facial emotion recognition have been associated with eating psychopathology severity. Little research however has been carried out on how bulimic spectrum disorder (BSD) patients spontaneously express emotions. Our aim was to investigate emotion expression in BSD patients and to explore the influence of personality traits. Our study comprised 28 BSD women and 15 healthy controls. Facial expressions were recorded while participants played a serious video game. Expres...

Family Functioning and Quality of Life among Families in Eating Disorders: A Comparison with Substance‐related Disorders and Healthy Controls
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the family functioning of Spanish parents of patients with an eating disorder (ED) with that of carers of patients with substance‐related disorders (SRDs) and families of healthy controls (HC). This cross‐sectional study included 48 mothers and 45 fathers of 48 adolescent patients with an ED, 47 mothers and 37 fathers of 47 patients with an SRD and 66 mothers and 50 fathers of 68 HCs. Families of ED patients reported lower levels of criticism, symptom accommodation and negative caregiving experience than families of SRD patients. However, relatives of both ED and SRD patien...

Disordered Eating, Compulsive Exercise, and Sport Participation in a UK Adolescent Sample
This study compared the levels of disordered eating and compulsive exercise between adolescent sport and non‐sport participants. A sample of 417 male and female adolescents, aged 14–16 years old, was recruited from UK secondary schools. Participants completed questionnaire packs that included: the Eating Disorder Inventory; a measure of exercise behaviour; and the Compulsive Exercise Test (CET). Non‐sport participants reported significantly greater body dissatisfaction than sport participants, and this was true for boys and girls. Significant group differences were also reported for many of the CET scales, with spo...

Differential Neural Correlates of Set‐Shifting in the Bingeing–Purging and Restrictive Subtypes of Anorexia Nervosa: An fMRI Study
In this study, possible differences in the neural correlates of set‐shifting abilities between the restrictive (AN‐R) and bingeing/purging (AN‐BP) subtypes of anorexia nervosa have been explored. Three groups of participants performed a set‐shifting task during functional magnetic resonance imaging: patients with AN‐R (N = 16), AN‐BP (N = 13) and healthy control participants (N = 15). As in a typical set‐shifting experiment, participants had to switch between two easy tasks (i.e. ‘Is the presented number odd/even’ or ‘Is the presented number smaller/larger than 5’). The trials in which the...

Attention Disengagement Difficulties among Average Weight Women Who Binge Eat
In this study, we assessed biases in attention disengagement among average‐weight women with binge‐eating (n = 33) and non‐eating disordered controls (n = 31). Participants engaged in a spatial cueing paradigm task wherein they first observed high‐calorie food, low‐calorie food, or neutral images and then had to quickly locate targets in either the same or a different location. Within both groups, reaction times (RTs) were longer to valid‐cued trials (i.e. target appearing in location of preceding cue) than to invalid‐cued trials (i.e. targets appearing in location different from initial location), re...

Prospective Psychosocial Predictors of Onset and Cessation of Eating Pathology amongst College Women
This study aimed to address these research gaps. College women (N = 2202) completed an assessment of eating pathology and potential risk/maintenance factors at two time points, 9 months apart. Logistic regression models indicated that elevated body dissatisfaction, thin‐ideal internalization, self‐objectification, negative affectivity and lower self‐esteem at baseline predicted ‘onset’ of clinically significant disordered eating symptomatology at follow‐up. Greater self‐esteem and lower initial levels on the remaining risk factors predicted subsequent ‘cessation’ of clinically significant disordered...

Retrospective Correlates for Bulimia Nervosa: A Matched Case–Control Study
ConclusionsThe common findings across cultures suggest that, at least, individuals subjectively experience a number of similar factors that increase risk for developing BN. In addition, the difference regarding self‐harm is notable. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and Eating Disorders Association. (Source: European Eating Disorders Review)

Sex Differences and Correlates of Pain in Patients with Comorbid Obesity and Binge Eating Disorder
Abstract Sex differences and correlates of pain were examined in a sample of patients with comorbid binge eating disorder (BED) and obesity. One hundred fifty‐two treatment‐seeking patients with BED completed the Brief Pain Inventory. Analysis of covariance was utilized to compare women and men on pain, and correlational analysis, overall and by sex, was performed to examine relationships among pain, eating behaviour and metabolic risk factors. Women reported significantly greater pain severity and pain interference than men. Among women, eating behaviour and metabolic markers were not associated with pain. Among men, ...

Evaluation of a Motivation and Psycho‐Educational Guided Self‐Help Intervention for People with Eating Disorders (MOPED)
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a newly developed motivational and psycho‐educational (MOPED) guided self‐help intervention for people with eating disorders on engagement and retention in therapy. Patients who received MOPED pre‐treatment (n = 79) were compared with a diagnosis‐matched group of patients receiving treatment as usual (TAU; n = 79). The study found that patients receiving MOPED had a higher engagement rate than those within the TAU group. Specifically, patients in the anorexic spectrum were found to present with both higher rates of engagement and completion of therapy when issued w...

Executive Functioning and Visuospatial Abilities in Bulimia Nervosa with or without a Previous History of Anorexia Nervosa
DiscussionOur findings support the idea that cognitive abilities in patients with BN are more impaired in the presence of a prior history of AN.
