Less differentiation of trait impressions from faces in OA is consistent with previous evidence for less differentiation in face and emotion recognition. Results indicated that that age-related dedifferentiation does not reflect narrow changes in visual function. They also provide a novel explanation for OA positivity effects.

Purging disorder (PD) is a new category of eating disorder, which is characterized by inappropriate compensatory behavior occurring in the absence of binging. There has been increasing evidence that acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) may be an effective treatment for individuals with a range of maladaptive disordered eating concerns, including purging. The present case report shows therapeutic processes, course, and outcomes of a Latina woman with PD who participated in 10 weekly individual sessions of ACT. The weekly average number of self-induced vomiting episodes was 5.0 at pretreatment, 1.1 during treatment, and 0 at both a 3-month follow-up and a 12-month follow-up. Additionally, body image flexibility, an open and flexible way of relating and responding to negative body image, increased throughout the course of treatment and continued to increase at follow-up. Implications for future research and clinical practice of ACT for PD are discussed.
