“…Respondents entered a number corresponding to their current body size. The reliability of figure drawings in assessing current and ideal body size has been shown to be satisfactory (Ben-Tovim and Walker, 1991; Gardner et al, 1999;Thompson et al, 1995).…”

Definitions of "full recovery" from anorexia nervosa (AN) vary, and rarely include the cognitive criteria of lack of body image distortion and fear of weight gain. We investigated the implications of including or excluding cognitive criteria of AN in the definition of "full recovery". Current symptomatology and personality characteristics associated with AN were assessed and compared in 42 behaviorally but not cognitively recovered women, 32 both behaviorally and cognitively recovered women, and 253 controls. On all measures included, the scores of the behaviorally recovered women were significantly more anorexic-like than those of the women recovered cognitively as well, who were indistinguishable from controls. Criteria for recovery from AN need to be refined and standardized, and cognitive criteria incorporated, to characterize a minority who recover to the extent that their eating attitudes and personality profiles are indistinguishable from those of women with no history of an eating disorder.

“…These images are typically video images although photographs have occasionally been used in this technique. In addition, researchers have recently developed figural drawing scales, consisting of a series of contour line drawings of frontal images ranging from thin to fat, to measure both body size distortion and body dissatisfaction [16][17][18][19].…”

Research examining the role of several factors associated with body size estimation is reviewed. Methodological techniques and issues related to measuring body size estimation are described. Several factors associated with body size estimation are reviewed including eating disorders, obesity, weight loss, hunger/satiety, restrained eating, mood, depression, body regions, age, childhood sexual abuse, menstrual cycle, media influences, and gender. Of these factors, the role of eating disorders, obesity, weight loss, restrained eating, depression, body regions, age, and media influences has, to varying extent, been clarified. The role of hunger/satiety, mood, childhood sexual abuse, menstrual cycle, and gender is still not clearly understood and await further research. Differing methodological techniques account for much of the inconsistency in findings. Methodological shortcomings in measuring body size estimation are reviewed and recommendations for dealing with these issues are detailed.

“…The 13-FS is an instrument proposed by Gardner, Stark, Jackson, and Friedman (1999) for assessing body size dissatisfaction consisting of 13 outline figures. Participants were shown same-sex figures and asked to indicate the figure that most resembled how they currently looked (current body image) and the one that they would most like to resemble (ideal body image).…”
