“…These are measures developed by Franko, Zuroff, and Rosenthal (1986); Phelan (1987);and Clark, Feldman, and Channon (1989). However, only one was developed using factor analysis or principal components analysis (Phelan, 1987) and, in this study, the three factors identified do not map onto a clear theory of eating disorders.…”

Assessing Eating Disorder Thoughts and Behaviors: The Development and Preliminary Evaluation of Two Questionnaires

et al. 2006

This paper describes the development of two measures. The first is designed to assess eating disorder-related automatic thoughts; the second is designed to assess a wide range of eating disorder-related behaviors. Principal components analysis identified three dimensions of thoughts: positive thoughts about eating, negative thoughts about eating, and permissive thoughts. Principal components analysis also identified six dimensions of behavior related to: shape and weight, bingeing, dieting, food, eating, and overeating. Both measures possess promising psychometric properties, including good construct and criterion-related validity. Both successfully discriminated eating disorder patients from dieting and non-dieting groups. The two measures may be useful additions to those currently available to researchers (and clinicians) interested in eating disorders.

This paper reviews cognitive theories of eating disorders as they are usually applied in treatment. More recent theoretical contributions and theory that is not widely applied are also reviewed. A set of hypotheses is derived from these theories and evidence for the validity of each hypothesis is discussed: this includes evidence from treatment studies, questionnaire studies and from experimental psychology. Following review of existing evidence, the paper summarizes the current status of cognitive theory in eating disorders. It then considers ways in which theory and research could be developed in order to improve and extend our understanding of cognitive content and processes in eating disorders. Limitations of existing models are highlighted and gaps in our knowledge, including knowledge of variables that typically have a central role in cognitive theory, are identified. Further strategies to test the validity of hypotheses derived from cognitive theory are suggested, together with strategies that might extend existing theory. It is concluded that much further research is needed, both to test the validity of existing theoretical contributions and to extend theory so that it will be more useful in clinical practice.

“…Body weight self-schemata, as evaluated by the Bulimic Thoughts Questionnaire (BTQ; Phelan, 1987), have also distinguished bulimic individuals from obese and normal-weight controls. Despite being of normal weight, bulimics rated themselves on the BTQ as heavier on self-schema items than normal-weight controls.…”

Failure, self-evaluation, and feeling fat in women

Striegel‐Moore, McAvey, and Rodin (1986) hypothesized that many women who feel fat have self‐schemas in which body weight is a central component, and that any experience which gives rise to self‐evaluation among such women leads to evaluation of body and weight. We employed a 2×2 design (Restrained/Unrestrained × Success/Failure) with 48 undergraduate women to test whether restrained women who experienced failure would evaluate their bodies more negatively, or subsequently describe their bodies in more evaluative terms than those who experienced success, or unrestrained eaters. None of the women felt worse about their bodies after experiencing failure. INDSCAL analysis on a Semantic Differential questionnaire, however, demonstrated that in contrast to unrestrained women, all restrained women described their bodies in an evaluative manner.
