Full textAbstract:
This study aims to examine the differences in family environment, psychological distress, and disordered eating symptomatology between children classified by weight status with or without loss of control (LOC) eating and to test a model of the role of emotional regulation of LOC eating based on a dysfunctional family environment. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 239 families. The assessment measured family expressed emotion, family adaptability and cohesion, child levels of depression and anxiety, body esteem, and disordered eating attitudes. The assessment was carried out in primary care centers and primary schools. Child body mass index (BMI) was associated with higher expressed emotion, psychological distress, and disordered eating symptomatology. Children with obesity and LOC presented higher BMI, poorer body esteem, and more disordered eating attitudes than children without LOC. Children with overweight/obesity, both with or without LOC, exhibited higher psychological distress and emotional overinvolvement than normal-weight children. A partial mediation of depression or anxiety and disordered eating attitudes between expressed emotion and LOC was found. Findings support that children with overweight/obesity show more family and psychological distress. Body esteem issues and disordered eating attitudes could alert the presence of LOC in children with obesity. The function of LOC might be to cope with psychological distress that may appear in a dysfunctional family environment.

AbstractThe extent to which 113 adolescent Malay women studying in Australia expressed the desire to lose weight was examined, as was the degree to which this desire reflected a genuine need to lose weight. Comparisons between participants who expressed the desire to either lose weight, stay at their current weight, or gain weight were made using both attitudinal and behavioural components of body image. An in-depth analysis of those who wished to lose weight was also undertaken. There was evidence that negative body attitudes were in excess of what actual body weight might dictate. However, these negative attitudes were not found to be consistently predictive of dysfunctional eating behaviours. Results were interpreted with reference to the potential influence of Westernisation in countries in the South Pacific region, and in particular how attitudes and behaviours are influenced by this process.

Full textAbstract:
Eating disorders (EDs), such as anorexia, bulimia, and bingeeating disorder, involve extreme emotions, attitudes, and behaviors surrounding weight, food, and body image, all of which can lead to destructive health consequences. While EDs have innumerable effects on affected individuals, less is known about the consequences for the offspring of childbearing women with past or current EDs. Children of mothers with EDs are at increased risk of various problems during gestation and childhood, including higher rates of miscarriage, cesarean-section deliveries, and stillbirth; greater likelihood of preterm delivery, small- or large-for-gestational-age, low or high birth weight, and growth disturbances; and lower likelihood of being breastfed. These children are also more likely to develop dysfunctional eating habits, behaviors, and attitudes throughout adolescence. Possible effects of maternal EDs on parenting include withholding food from children, using food to reward or punish, a preoccupation with weight interfering with the mother’s responsiveness to her child, failure to express positive attitudes toward eating, and higher tension during mealtimes. These risks are influenced by a variety of factors and the consequences for children are difficult to predict. Complicating matters, the foundations of an ED are established long before diagnosis. The familial setting provides a unique opportunity for integrated and concurrent primary and tertiary ED-prevention strategies for both child and mother. It is imperative for healthcare providers to consider the potential value of educational programs and support for mothers with EDs, as early intervention could interrupt the cycle of risk associated with eating disorders and their effects on the developing child.

Full textAbstract:
Concern about body weight and shape is commonly allied with dysfunctional self-concepts and eating behaviour. When provided with group therapy structured around written handouts addressing these problems, women referred for weight control have improved in their self-esteem, assertiveness, attitudes to body size, control of emotional eating, self-efficacy about weight and susceptibility to cyclic dieting, improvements which were maintained to follow-up. The present study examined the effects of the handouts alone on 27 women who actively attempted to control their weight. Relative to a sample matched for initial scores on the target variables, reported incidences of emotional eating and vigour of dieting were significantly reduced over a period of one year in the sample who received the bibliotherapy. Also, perceived body size, weight assertiveness, self-efficacy about weight control and body mass index all moved in the predicted direction, relative to controls, but not to a statistically significant degree. Such bibliotherapy on eating and shape is recommended as an adjunct to group or individual psychotherapy or to initiate change in clients waiting for professional counsel.

Full textAbstract:
Despite a dramatic increase in research on eating-related pathologies, gaps remain in our understanding of the factors responsible for the development and maintenance of dysfunctional attitudes and behaviour related to weight and eating among adolescents. A study was therefore conducted to compare eating and weight concerns among underweight, normal-weight and obese affluent adolescent girls in New Delhi. The sample comprised fifty underweight, fifty normal-weight and thirty obese girls, 16–18 years of age. Information was collected about their body image perception, weight concerns and eating attitudes by a well-structured questionnaire. Dietary intake was determined by 24 h recall and a food-frequency questionnaire. Body size was adjudged by measurements of weight, height, waist, hip and mid upper arm circumferences, and the BMI and waist : hip ratio were determined. Of the subjects, 99·2 % had a gynoid pattern of fat distribution. Concerns about excess weight were prevalent among the adolescent girls, even among those who were normal-weight and underweight. The level of satisfaction with body size decreased with increase in weight. Dieting behaviour was reported in a higher number of obese (76·6 %) compared with normal-weight (38 %) and underweight (14 %) girls. Of the obese girls, 43·3 % were found to be at a significantly (P=0·00109) greater risk of developing anorexia in the future. Characteristic dietary features of adolescence, such as missing meals, snacking and eating out, were observed. While the diets of most of the subjects were adequate in Ca, thiamin, riboflavin and vitamin C, they were found to be deficient in energy, protein, Fe, niacin, vitamin A and fibre. Thus, it is important to recognize that weight concerns and dissatisfaction with body size may pose a threat to a healthy nutritional state, and may develop into precursors of a later eating disturbance.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The аim is to study family influence on formation of eating and weight disorders. The concept of an “alimentary family” is defined as a family with dysfunctional, disharmonious relationships, which is a prerequisite for emergence and support of distorted patterns of eating behaviour, leading in the future to children’s eating and weight disorders. Methods: The research was carried out using the method of a thematic retrospective analysis (MTRA)-food, which is a variant of the narrative method, the questionnaire “Parental convictions and control tactics as for eating behaviour of their children during food taking”. The data was processed by the content analysis method; Fisher’s φ-criterion was used to compare differences between the groups. Results: The research has allowed us to clarify eating behavioural characteristics and to identify the “roots” of eating disorders. Various forms of forcing at eating, direct and indirect ways of making children to eat or blocking of eating are manifested in ignoring of children’s taste preferences, their desire and readiness to eat. Parents often use manipulative techniques influencing children’s eating behaviour (encouragement, inducement, reward promises, approval, recognition, warning, or switching attention), direct means of influence (coercion: prohibition, restriction, rejection, destructive criticism, intimidation, deprivation from various pleasures). There is the statistical confirmation that parents’ use of manipulative means and / or direct coercion towards their children during eating predetermines formation of pathological processes of corporeality, attitudes and psychological mechanisms stipulating eating disorders. Conclusions: The research results indicate necessity to develop psychotherapeutic programs for people with eating disorders, as well as programs to help parents improve family relationships and, accordingly, to apply correctional effects on their children.

Full textAbstract:
Eating disorders are among the most common psychological problems faced by women. Perfectionism, impulsivity and poor self-esteem have been identified as significant risk factors for the development and maintenance of eating disorders. Further, elevated body mass
has been found to amplify the effect of these risk factors on the development of eating pathology. However, although the symptoms associated with eating disorders have been theorised to lie on a continuum with frank eating disorders at one end and normative eating concerns at the other, there is limited research and findings are mixed about the correlates and predictors of dysfunctional eating attitudes and behaviours in non-clinical populations. The present research contributes to a clearer understanding of risk factors associated with
dysfunctional eating attitudes and behaviours in non-clinical populations. Correlational analyses in the present study indicated that dysfunctional eating attitudes and behaviours are associated with increased perfectionism, lowered self-esteem and elevated body mass. Regression analyses identified body dissatisfaction as a significant predictor of bulimic symptomatology. Further research is needed to extend these results. The current study found
that dysfunctional eating attitudes and behaviours occur in non-clinical populations and are associated with similar risk factors to those associated with eating pathology in clinical populations. Further, it advocates the need for early detection and intervention of eating
disturbances in at risk non-clinical samples, particularly in relation to body image dissatisfaction. Finally, it highlights the need for further research focussing on non-clinical
samples in order to more clearly understand the correlates and predictors of dysfunctional
eating attitudes and behaviours in these populations.

Introdução: As Perturbações Alimentares têm sido consideradas como um problema de
saúde pública, que tem vindo a aumentar cada vez mais principalmente nos países
desenvolvidos. Por sua vez, o perfecionismo é uma característica central das
perturbações alimentares, bem como um factor de patogénese, manutenção e um factor
importante no tratamento destas. Objetivo: Analisar o papel preditivo das dimensões do
Perfeccionismo nas Atitudes Alimentares Disfuncionais. Método: A amostra é
constituída por 224 estudantes universitários que preencheram a Escala
Multidimensional do Perfecionismo de Frost (EMP_F-24) e o Teste de Atitudes
Alimentares - 25 (TAA-25). Foram realizadas análises estatísticas com recurso ao
programa IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) versão 23.0.
Resultados: As dimensões do perfecionismo correlacionam-se com as dimensões das
atitudes alimentares, à exceção da dimensão Padrões Pessoais. Existem diferenças nas
dimensões Comportamentos Bulímicos, no total de atitudes alimentares, Organização e
Preocupação com os Erros em função do género. As variáveis sociodemográficas como
o género e nacionalidade revelam-se preditoras das dimensões atitudes alimentares,
Pressão Social para Comer e Comportamentos Bulímicos; e, as dimensões Criticismo
Parental e Organização são preditoras das dimensões Comportamentos Bulímicos e
Dieta. Conclusão: A dimensão do perfecionismo considerada como mais adaptativa é a
dimensão dos Padrões Pessoais, enquanto as dimensões maladaptativas são o Criticismo
Parental e a Organização, sendo preditoras de atitudes alimentares disfuncionais. A
utilização da Escala de Frost pouco explorada e as suas dimensões detalhadas permite
melhor compreender a etologia das perturbações do fórum alimentarIntroduction: Eating Disorders have been considered as a public health problem, which has been increasing in the developed countries in particular. In turn, perfectionism is a central feature of eating disorders, as well as a factor of pathogenesis, maintenance and an important factor in the treatment of these disorders. Objective: This study aims to analyze the predictive role of perfectionism dimensions at the eating dysfunctional attitudes. Method: The sample is composed by 224 college students and they completed the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS-24) and the Eating Attitudes Test -25 (TAA-25). Statistical analyzes were performed using the software IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 23.0. Results: The dimensions of perfectionism are correlated with the dimensions of eating attitudes, with the exception of the Personal Standards. There are differences in Bulimic Behaviors dimensions, total food attitudes, Organization and Concern Over Mistakes according to gender. Sociodemographic variables such as gender and nationality are predictive of eating attitudes, Social Pressure to Eat and Bulimic Behaviors; and the Parental Criticism and Organization dimensions are predictors of the Bulimic Behaviors and Diet dimensions. Conclusion The dimension of perfectionism considered as more adaptive is the dimension of Personal Patterns, while the maladaptive dimensions are Parental Criticism and Organization, who are predictors of dysfunctional eating attitudes. The use of the Frost Scale little explored and its detailed dimensions allows to better understand the ethology of the disturbances of the food fórum.

Dada a escassez de investigações sobre o tema, os objetivos principais deste estudo foram analisar a relação do perfecionismo e da auto-compaixão com as atitudes alimentares disfuncionais; Analisar se há diferenças de género nas atitudes alimentares disfuncionais; Analisar se as atitudes alimentares disfuncionais diferem consoante a nacionalidade e, analisar o papel preditor do perfecionismo, da auto-compaixão, do género e da nacionalidade nas atitudes alimentares disfuncionais em estudantes universitários. Participaram164 universitários e foram aplicadas a Escala da Auto-Compaixão (EAC), a Escala Multidimensional do Perfecionismo (EMP) e o Teste de Atitudes Alimentares (TAA-25). Os dados foram introduzidos no programa informático de análise estatística SPSS. Encontramos correlações entre o Perfecionismo e o TAA-25, bem como entre a Auto-Compaixão e o TAA-25. O género, por seu turno, só se correlacionou com os Comportamentos Bulímicos. No entanto, a nacionalidade, correlacionou-se com todas as dimensões do TAA-25. No que concerne ao teste de diferenças entre o TAA-25 e o género, apenas os Comportamentos Bulímicos se mostraram significativos. Por último, relativamente às variáveis preditoras de todas as subescalas do TAA-25, apenas o PSP apresentou uma contribuição preditiva para a Motivação para a Magreza, para os Comportamentos Bulímicos e, ainda, para a Pressão Social para Comer. Os nossos resultados contribuem para uma melhor compreensão da relação entre o perfecionismo, a auto-compaixão e as atitudes alimentares disfuncionais.Given the paucity of research on the subject, the main objectives of this study were to analyze the relationship between perfectionism and self-pity with dysfunctional eating attitudes; Analyze whether there are differences of gender in dysfunctional eating attitudes; Consider whether dysfunctional eating attitudes differ depending on the nationality and examine the role predictor of perfectionism, self-pity, gender and nationality in dysfunctional eating attitudes in college students. They participated 164 university and were applied to the Self-Compassion Scale (EAC), the Multidimensional Scale of perfectionism (EMP) and the Eating Attitudes Test (SAT-25). Data were entered into the computer of SPSS statistical analysis program. We find correlations between perfectionism and the TAA-25 and between the Self-Compassion and the TAA-25. Gender, on the other hand, only correlated with bulimic behaviors. However, nationality, was correlated with all dimensions of TAA-25. With regard to test differences between the AAR-25 and the like, only the bulimic behaviors were significant. Finally, for the predictor variables of all subscales of the TAA-25, only the PSP had a predictive contribution to the motivation for Thinness, for Bulimics behaviors and also for social pressure to eat. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between perfectionism, self-pity and dysfunctional eating attitudes.

The results showed that only the Neuroticism factor correlates significantly with the Bulimic Behaviors dimension. The remaining personality dimensions do not correlate with Bulimic Behaviors, Diet, and Social Pressure for Eating. No significant gender differences were found. However, only Neuroticism proved to be a predictor of Bulimic Behaviors. Thus, it is concluded that Neuroticism is a personality factor to be taken into account in the development of dysfunctional eating attitudes.

Introdução: O pensamento perseverativo negativo define-se por uma forma de pensar
sobre os próprios problemas ou experiências negativas, tornando-se intrusivo, repetitivo
e difícil de controlar. O pensamento perseverativo negativo sob a forma de ruminação e
preocupação tem sido associado em alguns estudos a indivíduos com Perturbações
Alimentares.
Objetivo: Este estudo pretende analisar se as dimensões do pensamento perseverativo
são preditores significativos de atitudes alimentares disfuncionais.
Amostra: Participaram neste 468 estudantes universitários, 138 rapazes e 330 raparigas
com uma média de idades de 21.88 anos. Para a recolha de dados foram aplicados: o
Teste de Atitudes Alimentares (TAA – 25) e o Questionário de Pensamento
Perseverativo (QQP – 15).
Resultados: o Pensamento Repetitivo apresentou uma correlação positiva significativa
com os Comportamentos Bulímicos e a Dieta. Por sua vez, a Interferência Cognitiva
apresentou uma correlação significativa e positiva com todas as dimensões do TAA-25
(Comportamentos Bulímicos, Dieta e Pressão Social para Comer). Não foram
encontradas diferenças de género nas pontuações das atitudes alimentares disfuncionais
e do pensamento perseverativo. Relativamente às análises de regressão, percebemos
que, o Pensamento repetitivo apenas revela ser preditor da dimensão Dieta, enquanto a
Interferência Cognitiva é preditora dos Comportamentos Bulímicos, da Dieta e da
Pressão Social para Comer. Estes resultados sustentam, ainda que de forma preliminar,
que a interferência cognitiva pode ser um fator importante a ter em conta atitudes
alimentares disfuncionais.Introduction: The negative perseverative thinking is defined by a way of thinking about their own problems or negative experiences, which becomes intrusive, repetitive and hard to control. The negative perseverative thinking in the form of rumination and worry/preoccupation has been associated in some studies to individuals with Eating Disorders. Objetive: This study pretends to analyze if the dimensions of the perseverative thinking are significant predictors of dysfunctional eating attitudes. Sample: In this study participated 468 university students, 138 boys and 330 girls with an average age of 21.88%. For the data collection were applied: the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT - 25) and the Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire (PTQ - 15). Results: the Repetitive Thinking presented a significant positive correlation with Bulimic Behavior and Diet. On the other hand, the Cognitive Interference revealed a significant positive correlation with all dimensions of TAA-25 (Bulimic Behaviors, Diet and Social Pressure for Eating). No gender differences were found in the scores of dysfunctional eating attitudes and perseverative thinking. Relatively to the regression analysis, we realized that repetitive thinking only reveals to be a predictor in the Diet dimension, while, on the other hand, cognitive interference is a predictor of Bulimic Behaviors, Diet and Social Pressure for Eating. These results support, even though in a preliminary way that cognitive interference may be an important fator to take into account in dysfunctional eating attitudes.
