“…In young female dieters with no current or past Axis I disorders, enhanced processing of negative self-beliefs previously shown to be associated with eating disorders predicted scores on the Eating Attitudes Test both cross-sectionally (Pringle, Harmer & Cooper, 2010a) and 12 months later (Pringle, Harmer, & Cooper, 2010b). Not surprisingly, enhanced processing of body weight and shape related self-beliefs also predicted scores on the Eating Attitudes Test, but this finding was much stronger for dieters who also showed enhanced processing of negative self-beliefs (Pringle Harmer & Cooper, 2010a). …”

Objective Findings of a randomized trial of an identity intervention programme (IIP) designed to build new positive self‐schemas that are separate from other conceptions of the self in memory as the means to promote improved health in women diagnosed with eating disorders are reported. Method After baseline data collection, women with anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa were randomly assigned to IIP (n = 34) or supportive psychotherapy (SPI) (n = 35) and followed at 1, 6, and 12 months post‐intervention. Results The IIP and supportive psychotherapy were equally effective in reducing eating disorder symptoms at 1 month post‐intervention, and changes were stable through the 12‐month follow‐up period. The IIP tended to be more effective in fostering development of positive self‐schemas, and the increase was stable over time. Regardless of baseline level, an increase in the number of positive self‐schemas between pre‐intervention and 1‐month post‐intervention predicted a decrease in desire for thinness and an increase in psychological well‐being and functional health over the same period. Discussion A cognitive behavioural intervention that focuses on increasing the number of positive self‐schemas may be central to improving emotional health in women with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.

“…In these cases, the 6-month score for the closest match case on the relevant measure replaces the missing data. This approach has been demonstrated to be highly effective in repeated measures psychiatric research (Pringle, Harmer, & Cooper, 2010) and to be superior to common approaches, such as listwise deletion, regression imputation, and last value carried forward (Elliott & Hawthorne, 2005).…”

“…Research consistently shows that eating disorder risk is associated with the perception of ambiguous stimuli to be negatively related to one's appearance (Brockmeyer et al, 2018;Rodgers & DuBois, 2016) and self-worth (e.g., Cooper, 2005;Cooper & Cowen, 2009;Pringle, Harmer, & Cooper 2010).

The results support the usefulness of the CBM-I for appearance protocol, and suggests that this technique warrants further investigation with respect to modifying interpretation bias and risk factors associated with eating disorder psychopathology. Null effects of CBM-I for self-worth should be interpreted in light of study limitations, including the potential unsuitability of training material for young women. CBM-I for both types of interpretation bias should be evaluated in future research.

Investigating vulnerability to eating disorders: biases in emotional processing

Abstract: These results suggest that specific biases in the processing of social cues, cognitions about the self, and also about eating, weight and shape information, may be important in understanding risk and preventing relapse in EDs.
