“…Exercise may be considered a more socially acceptable method of weight control and emotion regulation. However, recent evidence has highlighted the seriousness of driven exercise, even when it occurs in the absence of binge eating or other purging behaviors; “driven exercisers” were found to report equivalent levels of eating psychopathology as those who reported purging via other mechanisms (Lydecker, Shea, & Grilo, ). Further exploration is needed to identify if, and how monitoring tool use is linked to driven exercise behavior.…”

Objective To explore the relationships between the use of food intake and activity monitoring tools with compulsive exercise, eating psychopathology, and psychological wellbeing. Method Participants (N = 352; mean age 21.90 years) indicated their use of activity and food intake monitoring tools, and completed the Compulsive Exercise Test (CET), Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire (EDE‐Q), and the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS). Results Users of monitoring tools reported significantly higher CET and EDE‐Q scores than nonusers. Positive associations were detected between the frequency of activity monitoring tool use with CET and EDE‐Q scores. Participants who reported using monitoring tools primarily to manage weight and shape reported higher levels of eating and compulsive exercise psychopathology than those who reported using tools to improve health and fitness. Discussion Features of compulsive exercise and eating psychopathology are elevated among users of food intake and activity monitoring tools; and particularly among those who report using the tools for weight and shape purposes. Longitudinal and experimental research is needed to further our understanding of these observed associations, and specifically to explore the prospective relationships between monitoring tool use, eating psychopathology, and compulsive exercise.

“…However, it has been argued that this criterion should be included given its importance as a core component of eating disorders, it's high prevalence rate, and it's ability to predict health outcomes among individuals with binge-eating disorder (Grilo, White, Gueorguiva, Wilson, & Masheb, 2013). Similar research is also emerging for night-eating syndrome and purging disorder, two "other specified feeding or eating disorder" (OSFED) groups that are also not diagnostically characterized by weight/shape concerns, showing that adults meeting criteria for these disorders have greater weight/shape concerns compared to adults without these disorder (Lundgren, Allison, Reardon, & Stunkard, 2008;Lydecker, Shea, & Grilo, 2018). Taken together, this body of research suggests that while these disorders are not diagnostically characterized by weight/shape concerns, weight/shape concerns are notably prevalent amongst people meeting criteria for such disorders.…”

Objective Fear of negative evaluation has been proposed as a transdiagnostic factor associated with the development of eating disorders and has been shown to relate to disorders of body image, especially those with weight/shape concerns such as eating disorders and muscle dysmorphia. The current study aimed to investigate whether fear of negative evaluation was a transdiagnostic factor of disorders diagnostically characterized by weight/shape concerns. The study examined whether fear of negative evaluation was associated with higher odds for meeting criteria for an eating disorder and/or muscle dysmorphia, especially those disorders diagnostically characterized by weight/shape concerns. Method Data were used from a subgroup of the first wave of the EveryBODY study, a longitudinal investigation of eating disorders and body image concerns among Australian adolescents (N = 4,030). Participants completed measures on demographics, weight/shape concerns, disordered eating, psychological distress, muscularity concerns, and fear of negative evaluation. Results Findings revealed that fear of negative evaluation was associated with higher odds of meeting criteria for any eating disorder but significantly more so for those characterized by weight/shape concerns diagnostically, as well as binge‐eating disorder. Similar results were found for muscle dysmorphia. Discussion The findings suggest that fear of negative evaluation constitutes a transdiagnostic feature for developing and/or maintaining an eating disorder.

“…According to the literature from the last several years, people who suffer from anorexia or bulimia are dissatisfied with their bodies and are characterized by excessive perfectionism and a desire for control. They also may have interoceptive deficits, difficulties in building emotional bonds with other people, and suffer from other emotional disorders such as anxiety (including fear of puberty), depression, or obsessive-compulsive disorder [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52]. Moreover, the following psychological factors are also associated with increased risk of eating disorders: Emotional dysregulation and low self-esteem [46].…”

The growing number of women, who are characterized by restrictive and bulimic behaviours towards their own body is observed especially in countries influenced by Westernalization. However, there is a lack of cross-cultural studies in this area. The main aim of the present study was to examine the psychological and socio-cultural risk factors for eating disorders in Polish and Japanese women. A cross-sectional research study was conducted among 18-to 29-year old Polish (n = 89) and Japanese (n = 97) women. The variables were measured using the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Scale SATAQ-3, and the Eating Disorders Inventory EDI-3. The descriptive and comparative statistics, Spearman's rho, and the stepwise regression analysis were used. The global internalization of socio-cultural standards of body image proved to be a significant predictor of Body Dissatisfaction among Polish and Japanese women. The main analysis showed a significant relation between the Drive for Thinness and Interoceptive Deficits in the group of Japanese women, as well as a correlation between Drive for Thinness and Asceticism in the group of Polish women. The obtained results could improve the prevention aimed the dysfunctional eating behaviours. However, the cultural nuances need to be considered in understanding the risk factors for eating disorders.
