“…Stice et al (1997) recommended that researchers use measures of restraint that are unidimensional and do not assess disinhibited eating, such as the DRES. van Strien (1999) noted that if one wishes to select unsuccessful dieters, the RS has good validity; however, if one wishes to select successful dieters, or to differentiate between successful and unsuccessful dieters, one ought to use the DRES or the TFEQ-R in conjunction with a measure of disinhibition. None of these three measures of restraint should be used to diagnose EDs.…”

This article reviews current eating disorder self-report and interview measures and makes recommendations for choosing assessment devices for practice and research. The authors also incorporate overviews of related measures, such as body satisfaction and restrained eating. The presentation of women with eating disorders on measures of general psychological functioning (such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) is also discussed. Implications and recommendations for practice are presented, as are recommendations for future research. The lack of validation of, and urgent need for, eating disorder assessment measures with ethnic minority women is discussed throughout.Our goal is to provide information about useful assessment methods for counseling psychologists doing research or practice in the area of eating disorders (EDs). As Crowther and Sherwood (1997) noted, the multifaceted nature of EDs requires multidimensional, comprehensive assessment. The ED assessment literature is burgeoning with increasing attention focused on evaluating the psychometric qualities of both new measures and revisions of more established instruments (Crouther & Sherwood, 1997). In this article, we cover two major types of assessment procedures specific to eating disorders: self-report inventories and structured interview measures. In addition, we provide brief information regarding related measures of potential interest to researchers and practitioners (e.g., body image assessment) and briefly cover material concerning how women with EDs typically score on standard assessment inventories such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI). Finally, we conclude with implications for practice and research. Throughout the article, we attend to issues of assessment with ethnic minority women. A great

“…Only one fifth and one third of college students, respectively, had participated in mild to moderate or vigorous exercise (CDC, 1997). Although the CDC study found that 46% of college students nationwide were attempting to lose weight, other evidence suggests that the number of college women dieters who engage in maladaptive behaviors (e.g., binging) is greater than the number of college women dieters who merely reduced calorie intake (Mintz & Betz, 1988;Strien, 1999). Taken together, very large numbers of college students throughout the nation appear to engage in numerous behaviors that place them at risk for future health problems.…”

“…tended this research to college students (Newcomb et al, 1986;Oleckno & Blacconiere, 1991;Wallace & Forman, 1998), a distressing percentage of whom engage in lifestyles marked by risky health behaviors (e.g., CDC, 1997;Mintz & Betz, 1988;Strien, 1999). Little is known, however, about the interface between college students' beliefs about spiritual dimensions of the human body and corresponding health-related behavior patterns and attitudes.…”

“…Although popular RE scales share a common motivational component reflecting desire for thinness and concerns with shape and weight (Laessle et al, 1989), they diverge in other respects. For example, while high scores on salient TFEQ-2 and DEBQ subscales are said to tap successful dieting, the RS is a well-validated alternative on which high scores are more reflective of unsuccessful dieting (Laessle et al, 1989; Allison et al, 1992; Lowe, 1993; van Strien, 1999; Strien, 2002; van Strien et al, 2007; Stroebe et al, 2013). Finally, evaluating individual differences in RE and rGMV within non-clinical groups may clarify why people who score higher on RE measures have significantly higher risk for future onset of binge eating, weight gain, and bulimic symptomatology compared to lower-scoring peers.…”

Highlight Participants were non-clinical young adults with different restrained eating levels.We assessed relations of restrained eating (RE) with regional gray matter volume (rGMV).High RE scores were related to larger GMV in specific areas related to reward.High RE scores were also linked to less GMV in regions related to response inhibition. Objective: Dieting is a popular method of weight control. However, few dieters are able to maintain initial weight losses over an extended period of time. Why do most restrained dieters fail to lose weight? Alterations in brain structures associated with restrained eating (RE) represent one potentially important mechanism that contributes to difficulties in maintaining weight loss within this group. To evaluate this contention, we investigated associations between intentional, sustained restriction of food intake to lose or maintain body weight, and regional gray matter volume (rGMV) within a large non-clinical young adult, sample.Methods: Participants (150 women, 108 men) completed measures of RE and demographics prior to undergoing an MRI scan. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) evaluated strengths of association between RE scores and rGMV.Results: Higher RE levels corresponded to more rGMV in regions linked to risk of overeating and binge-eating including the left insula and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). Conversely, RE had significant negative correlations with rGMV in the left and right posterior cingulum gyrus, regions linked to inhibitory control and potential risk for future weight gain.Conclusions: Together, findings suggested individual differences in RE among young adults correspond to GMV variability in regions linked to overweight and obesity risk.
