Eating attitudes in seasonal affective disorder and bulimia nervosa

Maternal and paternal controlling feeding practices with male and female children

“…The mean EDI scores for females are consistent with those for non-clinical females reported by Berman, Lam and Goldner (1993), and although non-clinical comparison data regarding fathers is limited, the mean EDI scores for non-clinical males in this sample are comparable to those of Meyer and Waller (1998), in their student sample. The mean CFQ scores are broadly comparable to those reported for North American parents of young children ) and slightly higher than those reported for a UK sample of mothers of one-year-old infants (Farrow & Blissett, 2006).…”

“…The EDI-2 has good internal consistency and good testretest reliability, with adequate content, convergent, and discriminant validity (Garner, 1991). It has also been found to be useful and to have acceptable validity and reliability in non-clinical samples (Berman, Lam & Goldner, 1993;Meyer & Waller, 1998;Wicks, Siegert & Walkey, 2004).…”

Maternal mental health and child feeding problems in a non-clinical group

“…The EDI scores reflect a non-clinical group, where eating psychopathology scores are typically low, and indeed this sample"s scores are similar to those collected for a non-clinical sample of women with a mean age of 31 (Berman, Lam & Goldner, 1993). On average, the sample also show low anxiety and depression scores, with the mean scores being below the commonly used cut-off points of 10 for mild depression (Beck, Steer & Garbin, 1988) and 8 for mild anxiety .…”

Eating disorder symptoms and parenting styles

“…The EDI-2 has been used extensively with non-clinical samples (e.g., Berman, Lam & Goldner, 1993;Blissett, Meyer & Haycraft, 2006) and has demonstrated good levels of reliability and validity (Garner, 1991 .69 for Authoritarian; and .65 for Permissive subscales.…”
