“…Based on results of earlier studies, it was hypothesized that eatingdisordered women, compared to non-eating-disordered women, would report higher levels of negative affect and emotional eating (e.g., Bekker & Boselie, 2002;Cooper & Hunt, 1998;Pinaquy, Chabrol, Simon, Louvet, & Barbe, 2003) and would also score higher on assessment instruments of emotion-oriented coping and avoidance coping strategies (e.g., Kenardy, Arnow, & Agras, 1996;Nagata, Matsuyama, Kiriike, Iketani, & Oshima, 2000;Yager, Rorty, & Rossotto, 1995).…”

Relations between negative affect, coping, and emotional eating

The study was designed to examine the relations between negative affect, coping, and emotional eating. It was tested whether emotionoriented coping and avoidance distraction, alone or in interaction with negative affect, were related to increased levels of emotional eating. Participants were 125 eating-disordered women and 132 women representing a community population. Measures included the Positive and Negative Affectivity Schedule (PANAS), the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS), and the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ). Both emotion-oriented coping and avoidance distraction were related to emotional eating, while controlling for levels of negative affect. Negative affect did not have a unique contribution to emotional eating over and above emotionoriented coping or avoidance distraction. The findings suggest that emotional eating is related to reliance on emotion-oriented coping and avoidance distraction in eating-disordered women as well as in relatively healthy women. r

“…Support for the role of beliefs, assumptions, and automatic thoughts in maintaining bulimic behaviors has come from experimental evidence that women with eating disorders are more likely than control participants to report distorted and negative beliefs, automatic thoughts, self-statements, and assumptions about shape, food, weight, eating, and themselves (e.g., Cooper, 1997;Cooper & Hunt, 1998;Mizes & Christiano, 1995;Williamson et al, 1999;Zotter & Crowther, 1991). Experimental manipulations designed to elicit negative weight-and body-related emotions also have yielded support for the hypothesized pattern of self-reported thoughts.…”

Attentional and perceptual differences between women with high and low levels of bulimic symptoms were studied with techniques adapted from cognitive science. Stimuli were pictures of young women varying in body size and facial affect. A multidimensional scaling analysis showed that the highsymptom women were significantly more attentive to information about body size and significantly less attentive to information about affect. In prototype classification tasks, the high-symptom women used significantly more information about body size and significantly less information about affect. There were strong associations between individual differences in attention in the similarity task and decision making in the classification tasks. The study shows the potential utility of cognitive science methods for the study of cognitive factors in psychopathology.Bulimia nervosa is a serious behavioral health problem characterized by frequent bouts of uncontrollable binge eating, excessive reliance on compensatory weight-control strategies (e.g., vomiting, laxative use, intensive exercise), and an overemphasis on one's body shape and weight in self-evaluations. Research on bulimia, influenced by the "cognitive revolution" in clinical psychology, increasingly has focused on (a) the role of cognitive factors in the development and maintenance of bulimic symptoms and (b) the development of effective cognitive-behavioral treatments for these symptoms (e.g

Schema and parental bonding in overweight and nonoverweight female adolescents

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether family functioning and cognitions in a group of overweight female adolescents differ significantly from those in a group of normal weight female adolescents. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS: In all, 23 overweight female adolescents (mean age: 17.6 y, mean body mass index (BMI: 27.8 kg/m 2 ), and 23 normal weight female adolescents (mean age: 17.7 y, mean BMI: 20.2 kg/m 2 ). MEASUREMENTS:The following self-report measures were completed: the Parental Bonding Inventory, 1 the Young Schema Questionnaire-short version, 2 the Eating Attitudes Test, 3 the Beck Depression Inventory 4 and the Eating Disorder Belief Questionnaire. 5 RESULTS: Overweight female adolescents reported more negative self-beliefs and greater belief in schema relating to emotional deprivation, fears of abandonment, subjugation and insufficient self-control. They also perceived their fathers as being significantly more overprotective and significantly less caring. Within this group perceived level of maternal care correlated negatively with negative self-beliefs and schema. CONCLUSIONS: Overweight female adolescents show some of the cognitive features associated with the development of an eating disorder. However, positive parent-child relationships may serve to protect overweight adolescents from developing clinical eating disorders and from psychological distress later in life.
