Abstract:

Intuitive eating is defined as an adaptive eating process that involves focusing on internal hunger and satiety to guide eating behavior, using those physiological cues rather than emotions to determine when to eat, and choosing what to eat based upon preference and not external rules and expectations. The purpose of this study was to examine intuitive eating within the context of contemporary sociocultural models of eating in 701 early adolescent boys and 769 early adolescent girls. Support was found for the model and suggested that pressures to lose weight or gain muscle, restrictive message

Abstract:

Eating disorder symptoms are serious and prevalent problems in industrialized societies. Although many studies have individually investigated the influence of environmental factors on the development of eating disorder symptoms, few have considered the relative and cumulative impact of various contexts within the same study. The current study was conducted to examine the influence of the mass media, mothers, and peers on the development of eating disorder symptomology in male and female adolescents using an ecological model proposed by Bronfenbrenner (1977, 1979, 1986, 1988, 1995).

Abstract:

This paper aims to study the factors relating to eating disorders and disordered eating onset. Adolescents are the focus on this review and through the evaluation of these factors. Individual factors being addressed are as follows: active social media use, experience of child abuse or maltreatment, and chronic illnesses. Evaluating family factors such as family history, experience of intimate partner violence, and parenting dynamics allow us to understand the environment and its effect on eating disorder onset. Finally, protective factors addressed include parental resilience, concrete support

Abstract:

Eating disorders (EDs) are regarded as a function of pubertal growth, personality, and body image (BI) development, as well as socio-cultural influences, during adolescence. Sex-specificities are getting more attention. However, empirical studies from this broad area of research do not systematically investigate EDs taking into account female and male specificities. The present PhD research project aims to explore vulnerability factors for increases in ED-related behaviours among boys and girls during adolescence, by conducting a 2-year longitudinal study.

Aims: Friendship plays an important and central role in adolescent life. This thesis was conducted in two parts to address two broad aims relating to friendship in adolescence.

Specifically, it was of interest to determine whether perfectionism exerts a negative influence on adolescent friendships. The second aim was to explore the friendship experiences of adolescents diagnosed with an eating disorder (ED) in order to address a significant gap in the current lite

Additionally, the books were evaluated to see if the portrayal of eating disorders over time had changed to correspond with evolving information on eating disorders.

The meal content affects the gastric emptying rate and the postprandial glycaemia in healthy adults and adults with type 2 diabetes.

Both constructs have demonstrated strong relationships to these behaviors, but emotion reactivity appears to be more strongly associated with NSSI, while family functioning appears to be more strongly related to eating disorders.

Abstract:

Body, weight and shape related obsessions and ruminations are characteristic traits of individuals with eating disorders (ED) that are found to predate the onset of the disorder. Individuals with chronic ED display altered neural activation in response to food stimuli, and are reported to have volumetric differences compared to healthy individuals, which is likely an effect of prolonged starvation. ED individuals are also seen to dispose an attentional bias to food stimuli, even when perceived sub-consciously, which are reported to interfere with cognitive tasks, including working memory (WM).

Girls with eating disorders scored higher rates of insecure attachment, lower attachment coherence and higher hypermentalising than non-clinical girls. Although mothers’ reflective functioning did not differ between groups, a proportion of clinical mothers scored very low reflective functioning compared to controls. Clinical families presented with higher depression, anxiety, communication difficulties and conflict.
