Abstract Objective Evidence indicates that males account for a significant minority of patients with eating disorders (EDs). However, prior research has been limited by inclusion small and predominantly non‐clinical samples males. This study aimed to (1) provide male clinical norms widely used ED measures (Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire [EDE‐Q] Eating Inventory‐3 [EDI‐3]) (2) examine sex differences in overall psychopathology. Method Participants were 386 1,487 female an diagnosis...
Life disruptions caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic are particularly salient for young adults. Some adults may engage in unhealthy eating practices to cope with social distancing and isolation during pandemic, which could increase incidental weight gain. The purpose of this study was examine association body change before versus after spread COVID-19.
Network analysis is an emerging approach in the study of psychopathology, yet few applications have been seen eating disorders (EDs). Furthermore, little research exists regarding changes network strength after interventions. Therefore present examined structures ED and co-occurring depression anxiety symptoms before treatment for EDs.Participants from residential or partial hospital programs (N = 446) completed assessments upon admission discharge. Networks were estimated using regularized...
Previous research demonstrates that lesbian and bisexual (LB) women report more binge eating behaviors compared to heterosexual although the explanations for this disparity are not well understood. LB also experience distal (e.g., discrimination) proximal expectations of rejection) minority stressors related negative mental physical health outcomes. The present study investigated association between in women. A sample 164 completed an online survey included measures sexual stressors,...
Abstract Network theory and analysis is an emerging approach in psychopathology research that has received increasing attention across fields of study. In contrast to medical models or latent variable approaches, network suggests psychiatric syndromes result from systems causal reciprocal symptom relationships. Despite the promise this elucidate key mechanisms contributing development maintenance eating disorders (EDs), thus far, few applications have been tested ED samples. We first present...
It has been theorized that state the levels of self-control depletion (as caused by negative affect and restraint) may lead to binge eating (BE) when individuals also endorse momentary expectancies will make them feel better (EE). Given commonalities in precipitants BE across populations, current study tested this theory a sample adults with obesity using ecological assessment (EMA). Fifty obese completed EMA protocol during which they provided pre-eating episode ratings affect, restraint,...
This study proposed and tested the first conceptual model of sexual minority specific (discrimination, internalized homophobia) more general risk factors (perpetrator partner alcohol use, anger, relationship satisfaction) for intimate violence among partnered lesbian women.
Lesbian women engage in more hazardous drinking than heterosexual yet we know relatively little about what explains this disparity. In the present study, race, socioeconomic status, minority stress, general psychological processes and distress were examined as pathways to among young (18-35 years) Black non-Hispanic White lesbian women. We used mediation framework adaptation of stress theory reserve capacity model theoretical underpinnings conceptual current study. Self-identified...
Affect regulation, eating expectancies, and attention toward food-related cues are interrelated constructs that have been implicated in the maintenance of binge eating. While these processes show considerable temporal variability, momentary associations between domains not elucidated. This study examined a model posited fluctuations affect, bias (AB) would interact to predict subsequent eating.Forty women who endorsed recurrent completed 10-day ecological assessment protocol with ambulatory...
