“…There were significant differences in the SRI scores between patient groups, but none between each patient group and control group. This does not provide support for Boskind-Lodahl's (1976) suggestion that bulimic women embrace the traditional female role or Crisp's (1977) notion that anorexic women are rejecting the traditional female role. If these theories were accurate, bulimic women would have scored lower on the SRI (or in a "traditional female" direction).…”

“…In comparing the means of all three groups with the data available from previous studies, it would appear that all groups were relatively more feminist than one might expect for the average population (Kalin & Huesser, Note 1). This information again fails to provide support for Boskind-Lodahl's (1976) or Crisp's (1977) observations. We have also observed that many of the bulimic patients are quite career oriented and involved professionally.…”

“…The emaciated anorexic denies both her hunger and her true physical proportions in an attempt to shed fat that is not there (Crisp, 1977). Bulimia involves episodic binge eating, combined with an awareness that the eating pattern is abnormal.…”

“…Casper and Davis (1977) suggest that what may have started as normal dieting, with the aim of increasing a girl's sexual attractiveness, gets out of control. On the other hand, Crisp (1977) sees food as representing not male sex, but the patient's own developing femininity, and her aversion to carbohydrates, he believes, is an aversion to the building blocks of her own breasts and hips. The patient refuses to turn into a woman and accept the sexual and emotional responsibilities for her life by dieting and maintaining her body mass below the level thought to trigger puberty.…”

Anorexia nervosa is a complex of physical, emotional, and behavioral changes occurring in individuals who starve themselves because of an aversion to weight gain. Bulimia involves episodic binge eating, combined with an awareness that the eating pattern is abnormal. Theorists suggest that individuals with anorexia nervosa can be seen as rejecting the traditional female role, while individuals with bulimia can be seen as overidentifying with the traditional female role. The validated Sex Role Ideology Scale by Kalin and Tilby was used to determine if anorexics did in fact have a feminist perspective on women's role in society, and if bulimics had a traditional perspective. Data from the two patient groups (anorexics and bulimics) were compared to those of a control group of university students, matched for sex and age. No significant differences were found on the Sex Role Ideology Scale.

“…Phobic symptomatology is common and they declare a reduced interest in sexual activity. Indeed, Crisp (1977) has commented that massive obesity, like anorexia nervosa, generated within the turbulence of puberty, can allow the patient to avoid the stress of adult sexuality. However, this self-selecting clinic population is strikingly different from the mainstream of the obese, both biologically and psychologically.…”

The relationships between two aspects of the female role, stress, and anorexic personality characteristics were explored in an effort to cast some light on the antecedents to anorexia nervosa. The degree to which college women were concerned with traditional sex‐role distinctions and the extent to which they idealized a low body weight were considered as critical variables associated with being an adult woman in our society. Women sharing anorexic characteristics were less concerned about traditional stereotyping of behavior than controls and did not select a lower ideal body weight. However, both variables functioned as moderators of stress among women with anorexic personality characteristics. If the female with anorexic characteristics also displayed a concern with traditional sex‐role differences or a lower ideal body weight, she was vulnerable to excessive stress. These effects were not apparent among control females. Parallel analysis of the sample based upon the presence or absence of bulimic characteristics failed to disclose any comparable trends.
