“…It was also shown that the association of high HA and low SD with ED severity is mediated by difficulties in emotion regulation [119] . In one of the studies, it was found that temperamental traits seem to play a full mediating role in the relationship between puberty and ED severity: age of puberty increases the level of HA, which in turn increases the severity of ED [120] .…”

BACKGROUND: Eating disorders (ED) are severe, chronic and complex in nature mental illness difficult to treat. One of the areas of ED prevention is screening among adolescents to prevent the development of clinical forms of ED in risk groups. AIMS: 1) to investigate the prevalence of ED risk among adolescent girls and compare subgroups at high and low risk of ED; 2) to investigate using a multidimensional approach those variables that can interact with temperament and character traits to predict ED symptomatology. METHODS: The cross-sectional observational self-report study of a community sample of adolescent girls 12-17 years old (n=298; M=14.771.13) was carried out in Ryazan city. The Russian versions of Eating Attitudes Test and Cloningers Temperament and Character Inventory-Revised were used. In addition, an original questionnaire (Risk Factors of Eating Disorders) was developed. Regression models (to test for significant moderations) and path analysis (to test significant mediations) were used. RESULTS: Girls with ED risk are characterized by high weight concerns and body dissatisfaction, low self-directedness, higher novelty seeking and tendency to higher harm avoidance, high alexithymia, self-distrust, negative emotionality and family relationships dissatisfaction, low self-esteem and tendencies to higher perfectionism and risk behavior. Significant moderations were obtained between the following ED risk factors: 1) self-distrust/risk behavior and BMI; 2) alexithymia/negative emotionality/self-esteem and cooperativeness; 3) negative emotionality/risk behavior and self-transcendence. Family relationship dissatisfaction mediates association between self-directedness/cooperativeness/self-transcendence and disordered eating. CONCLUSION: There are various mutual influences between the numerous ED risk and prevention factors, which determine the paths between the predictor and the outcome.

BackgroundTemperament Based Therapy with Support (TBT‐S) is an emerging intervention based on empirically supported neurobiological models. Due to its novelty, only a handful of studies to date have examined TBT‐S, and none of these previous studies have provided a qualitative evaluation of how TBT‐S is perceived by the target population. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to provide an increased understanding of how TBT‐S is experienced by patients with an eating disorder and their supports.MethodForty‐six patients with an eating disorder and 63 supports consented to be included in the study. The participants provided written responses to six open‐ended questions during the post‐treatment assessment, detailing their treatment experiences and offering additional feedback. Thematic analysis (TA) was used to analyze their written responses, aiming for a combination of latent and semantic themes.ResultsThe results reveal a substantial overlap between patients' and supports' experiences with TBT‐S. In both groups, identified themes suggest increased knowledge and hopefulness as key benefits of the intervention. While both patients and support persons considered TBT‐S to be worthwhile, patients also reported finding the intervention quite challenging. Additionally, both groups emphasized the neurobiological rationale as an essential component of TBT‐S.ConclusionsThe qualitative evaluations from this study offer new insights into how TBT‐S is experienced by the target population. The findings provide an opportunity to incorporate participant suggestions for improving the treatment, and serve as an important building block for future studies aimed at assessing the effectiveness of TBT‐S as an augmentation to treatment‐as‐usual.

The Development of Disordered Eating in Male Adolescents: A Systematic Review of Prospective Longitudinal Studies

A lack of research exists about the development of disordered eating in adolescent males. A systematic review was undertaken with the primary aim of identifying psychosocial risk factors that are prospectively associated with the development of disordered eating attitudes and behavior in adolescent males. The review’s secondary aim was to appraise the appropriateness of the psychometric assessment measures used to identify those risk factors. Electronic databases Scopus (Elsevier), PsycINFO (EBSCO), PsycARTICLES, Medline (Ovid), Web of Science Core Collection and Pubmed (Thomson Reuters) were searched for prospective longitudinal research involving 11–19 year-old adolescents that was published between 2010 and 2022. Twenty-one publications met inclusion criteria and thirty-five factors including fourteen psychological factors, ten body appearance factors, four sociocultural factors, three familial and four peer factors were identified as prospectively associated with the development of disordered eating attitudes and behavior in male adolescents. The psychometric assessment measures used to identify those factors, together with the proportion of female respondents upon whose data the measures were based, were critically appraised. Accurate assessment is imperative in generating reliable and valid research and informing clinical practice. Existing female-centric psychometric assessments normed predominantly on female participants may not be appropriate for use with adolescent males.
