“…All procedures were approved by the regional health research ethics board. Recruitment procedures are reported elsewhere (Kenny, Singleton, & Carter, 2017;Kenny, Van Wijk, Singleton, & Carter, 2018). Briefly, individuals with BED and NED were recruited from the community via social media, radio interviews, and posters.…”

Objective Research suggests that overvaluation of weight and shape is a clinical feature in binge‐eating disorder (BED). However, this construct has been differentially defined in the literature even when using the same measure. Here we compare two cut‐offs that have previously been used to differentiate clinical and subthreshold overvaluation using the EDE‐Q. Method Individuals with BED (n = 72, 93% female) and no history of an eating disorder (NED; n = 21, 91% female) completed measures of eating disorder (ED) and general psychopathology online. Individuals with BED were categorized as having clinical or subthreshold overvaluation using two different cut‐offs used in previous studies. The clinical, subthreshold, and NED groups were compared on ED and general psychopathology. The association between overvaluation and psychopathology was also assessed in the BED and NED groups. Results The two cut‐offs yielded identical results, with individuals in the clinical overvaluation group reporting greater ED psychopathology than those in the subthreshold and NED groups. When considered as a continuous variable, overvaluation was a significant predictor of both ED‐related and general psychopathology. Discussion The two cut‐offs yielded identical results, likely due to the high internal consistency between overvaluation items. Under such circumstances, the use of either cut‐off seems appropriate. However, given the associations reported in the regression analyses, we propose that considering overvaluation as a dimensional variable, rather than a categorical one, may have greater utility.

“…Moreover, binge eating and binge drinking often co-occur suggesting that there are some overlapping features between these behaviors (Ferriter & Ray, 2011;Laghi et al, 2014). Hence, understanding mechanisms underlying adolescents' binge behaviors could be helpful to design supportive intervention programs in favor of youth (Kenny, Singleton, & Carter, 2017).…”

Framed within an ecological perspective of the onset of adolescent problem behaviors, the current study explored the joint role of parent-adolescents' relationships and youth's individual factors in binge eating and drinking. Firstly, in line with pieces of research highlighting the beneficial impact of effective parenting on youth development, the present paper sought to enhance the knowledge about the positive influence of parental monitoring on youth's binge drinking and eating. Moreover, since literature evidenced that the explanatory mechanisms of the association between parental monitoring and binge behaviors are not fully explored, the study focused on the potential intervening role of sensation seeking and life satisfaction as mediators. The study design was crosssectional and self-report questionnaires were administered among a population of 944 high school students (M = 16.35, SD = 1.31) living in Palermo (Italy). Path analysis showed that parental monitoring was directly and negatively related to both binge eating and binge drinking. Moreover, sensation seeking negatively mediated the relationships between parental monitoring and both binge behaviors, whereas life satisfaction only mediated between parental monitoring and binge eating. The current study provided data useful to understand the complex interrelations between intrapersonal (life satisfaction and personality trait, i.e., sensation seeking) and contextual factors (parent-child relationships) that may discourage or cause eating and alcohol use disorders among youth. Finally, implications for parents and practitioners working with youngsters were discussed.

“…It has even been suggested that de cits in emotion regulation are predisposing factors for the development of ED [9,8,6]. Patients with ED have reported poorer emotional awareness, emotional suppression, less use of adaptive emotional regulation strategies, and greater use of maladaptive emotional regulation strategies compared to people in healthy control groups [10,11,12,13,14,15,6].…”

Background: Patients with eating disorders have reported poorer emotional awareness, more emotional suppression, less use of adaptive emotional regulation strategies, and more use of maladaptive emotional regulation strategies compared to people in healthy control groups. Aim: To explore experiences of emotions by a sample of patients with eating disorders. Method: Nine patients with eating disorder diagnoses at an eating disorder outpatient clinic in Sweden were interviewed for their thoughts on emotions. The interviews were analyzed with Thematic Analysis. Result: Four themes were constructed: "Not knowing what one feels", "Switch off, run away, or hide behind a mask", "Emotions in a lifelong perspective", and "Using eating behaviors to regulate emotions". The patients described uncertainty regarding whether they experienced emotions correctly. They described how they tried to avoid difficult emotions through suppressive strategies and eating disorder behavior. All described strategies were inefficient and all emotions were experienced as problematic, even joy. Since joy was used as a mask, the real experience of happiness was lost and mourned.Conclusion: All kinds of emotions were considered problematic to experience, but shame, fear, and sadness were considered worst. It is difficult to know if the emotional difficulties preceded an eating disorder, but at least those problems seem to have increased by the eating disorder.
