“…Prospective longitudinal studies are needed to determine whether weight-related teasing is more likely to contribute to the actual development of dysfunctional eating cognitions and symptoms than depressive cognitions and symptoms. Given evidence that dysfunctional cognitive styles appear to develop throughout childhood and stabilize by early adolescence (see Cooper, 2005b;Garber & Flynn, 1998;Haines, Metalksy, Cardamone, & Joiner, 1999) as well as evidence for the dramatic rise in the prevalence of both depression (Hankin et al, 1998) and eating disorders (Steinhausen et al, 2005;Striegel-Moore et al, 2004) in adolescence, the time period of late childhood and adolescence seems a particularly important area of focus.…”

Although there is evidence that verbal victimization in childhood may be a nonspecific risk factor for a variety of disorders, there may be mediational pathways that are specific to each disorder. In this study, we hypothesized that disorder-specific cognitions would mediate the relation between reports of childhood verbal victimization and undergraduates' current symptoms of depression and eating disorders. In addition, we hypothesized that a specific type of verbal victimization, weight-related teasing, would be more strongly related to the presence of dysfunctional eating cognitions than depressive cognitions. Both hypotheses were supported, providing preliminary evidence for the hypothesized disorder-specific mediational pathways.

“…ages of 15 and 17 (Striegel-Moore et al, 2004). In addition, being diagnosed with an eating disorder earlier in life presents an increased risk for experiencing such symptoms as an adult (Kotler, Cohen, Davies, Pine, & Walsh, 2001).…”

“…Some years later, Rosen 4p190 stated that ''body image disturbance is essentially what distinguishes them [ED] from other psychological conditions that occasionally involve eating abnormalities and weight loss''. Body-image disturbances are now regarded as a key element in ED, [5][6][7] and are part of the criteria for diagnosing both anorexia and bulimia. 8 Body size overestimation and body dissatisfaction are risk factors for both ED development 9,10 and relapse.…”

The aim of this article was to study the effect of virtual-reality exposure to situations that are emotionally significant for patients with eating disorders (ED) on the stability of body-image distortion and body-image dissatisfaction. A total of 85 ED patients and 108 non-ED students were randomly exposed to four experimental virtual environments: a kitchen with low-calorie food, a kitchen with high-calorie food, a restaurant with lowcalorie food, and a restaurant with high-calorie food. In the interval between the presentation of each situation, body-image distortion and body-image dissatisfaction were assessed. Several 2Â2Â2 repeated measures analyses of variance (high-calorie vs. low-calorie foodÂpresence vs. absence of peopleÂED group vs. control group) showed that ED participants had significantly higher levels of body-image distortion and body dissatisfaction after eating high-calorie food than after eating low-calorie food, while control participants reported a similar body image in all situations. The results suggest that body-image distortion and body-image dissatisfaction show both trait and state features. On the one hand, ED patients show a general predisposition to overestimate their body size and to feel more dissatisfied with their body image than controls. On the other hand, these body-image disturbances fluctuate when participants are exposed to virtual situations that are emotionally relevant for them.

“…Past research suggests that dysfunctional cognitive styles first develop in childhood and stabilize by early adolescence (see Cooper 2005b;Garber and Flynn 1998;Haines et al 1999). There is also a dramatic rise in the prevalence of both depression (Hankin et al 1998) and eating disorders (Steinhausen et al 2005;Striegel-Moore et al 2004) in adolescence. Therefore, the time period of late childhood and adolescence appears to be a particularly important area of focus.…”

Cognitive Biases in Depression and Eating Disorders

This study examined the link between cognitive biases (i.e., attention biases and implicit associations) and symptoms of depression and eating disorders and whether the content of these biases is disorder-specific. These hypotheses were examined with a sample of 202 undergraduate women. Cognitive biases were measured via computer-based tasks (i.e., the probe detection task and the Implicit Association Test) and symptom levels were measured via interview and self-report. Partially supporting the main hypothesis, symptoms of depression and eating disorders were significantly correlated with disorder-specific implicit associations but not attentional biases. Partially supporting the specificity hypothesis, there was evidence for stronger associations between symptoms of eating disorders and eating specific implicit associations.
