“…In the study of Meyer et al [61] , bulimic attitudes were associated with state anger in men and with anger suppression in women. In the study of Milligan and Waller [62] , conducted in a female sample, binge eating was associated with suppression of anger, whereas vomiting was associated with high levels of state anger.…”

Anger and aggressive behaviours, especially those self-directed, are frequent in subjects suffering from anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. They increase the complexity of the clinical features, change the prognosis and cause a more difficult management of these disorders. In order to elucidate the complex relationships between eating disorders, anger and aggressiveness, the history of traumatic experiences, the prevalence of dissociative, obsessive, impulsive and compulsive symptoms, as well as the role of severe personality disorders in subjects suffering from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and self-injurious behaviours are considered. In the final section of this paper, a model exploring such a relationship in the light of the undefined sense of self is described.

“…However, when compared to females, there are relatively few studies that have assessed the possible impact of mass media exposure to male beauty ideals on men's health. Nevertheless, the existing studies appear to coincide in that men are increasingly expected to attain slender and muscular bodies (Farquhar & Wasylkiw, 2007;Grilo & Masheb, 2005;Hospers & Jansen, 2005;Keel & Gravener, 2008;Meyer, Leung, Waller, Perkins, Paice, & Mitchell, 2005), at times, through extreme weight control behaviours such as over-exercise and steroid use (Hatoum & Belle, 2004). In the study by Hatoum and Belle (2004), the authors likewise reported an association between magazine exposure to this type of content and concerns regarding body-building, fitness, beauty and dietetic products along with low self-esteem which was associated significantly to these weight concerns.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between disordered eating behaviours/attitudes and mass media exposure in a cross-sectional national survey of 1165 Spanish secondary students (age between 14 and 16 years). A battery of questionnaires were used to investigate mass media influence, body dissatisfaction, physical appearance, sociocultural attitudes and self-esteem. Likewise, the EAT-26 questionnaire was used to assess disordered eating behaviours/attitudes, identifying that 6.6% (n = 32) of the male and 13.6% (n = 68) of the female students reached a cut-off point of 20 or above. The main finding was that female and male adolescents with disordered eating showed an increased exposure to TV and magazine sections related to body image, specifically regarding music video channels, in comparison with those without eating disordered, gender-matched counterparts. However, findings indicate that media exposure was different to some degree between males and females with disordered eating behaviour. Males with disordered eating behaviours and attitudes were associated with higher TV and magazine exposure to health sections and also greater body dissatisfaction, internalisation of the thin-ideal and social and appearance comparison. In females, disordered eating was associated with higher TV and magazine exposure to dieting, fashion and sport sections, greater body dissatisfaction, internalisation and awareness of the thin-ideal and lower self-esteem. Understanding the mechanism involved in the media exposure's influence on adolescents is critical in preventing disordered eating.

“…For example, initial findings suggest that anger and aggression might be associated with bulimic behaviors in men. 23,24 No other studies to date have examined relationships between aggressive behaviors, delinquency, or socially intrusive behavior and eating pathology in males. These types of externalizing behaviors, largely ignored in the field, might play a significant role in the expression or development of eating pathology in males versus females.…”
