“…There are no significant differences at all for both age levels when our sample is compared to the sample obtained by Casper et al (1981). In the older age group, the scores of the sample of Swift et al (1986) are lower with regard to social Relationships (p = .05) and Sexual Attitudes ( p = .01). However, considering the necessary adjustment of p values for multiple comparisons (in this instance, p = .005), these differences may be ignored.…”

“…were collecting data for our study, two American studies (Casper, Offer, & Ostrov, 1981;Swift, Bushnell, Hanson, & Logemann, 1986) as well as our own preliminary analyses of a smaller subsample (Steinhausen, 1983(Steinhausen, -1985 indicated that the OSIQ profiles of adolescent anorectic patients are remarkably similar in different samples and highly specific. Therefore, the present paper also addresses the question as to whether or not this finding of a transculturally stable profile of self-image can be replicated in an extended sample.…”

Forty German adolescent anorectic patients were assessed with regard to self‐image components as measured by the Offer Self‐image Questionnaire (OSIQ). The profile of this group deviated negatively from the German standardization group of healthy subjects on measures of impulse control, emotional tone, body image, social relationships, sexual attitudes, and psychopathohgy. In addition, the OSIQ profile of this German sample was remarkably similar to the profiles of samples reported in two American studies. Finally, it was found that inpatient treatment served to improve the psychological condition of the patients with regard to certain but not all self‐image components. Despite a trend of improvement, some of the scores did not fully normalize in this sample. © 1993 by lohn Wiley & Sons, Inc.

“…In fact, when we performed multiple linear regression analysis of our suburban data, we found that self-esteem explained 44% of the variance in EAT scores . Low self-esteem and high anxiety have each been well reported in patients with both anorexia nervosa and bulimia (Swift, Bushnell, Hanson, & Logemann, 1986;Weiss & Ebert, 1983;Mitchell, Hatsukam, Eckert & Pyle, 1985;Baird & Sights, 1986), and have recently been described in both black and white college students with disordered eating attitudes and behaviors (Abrams et al, 1992).…”

We administered the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT), Rosenberg Self‐Esteem Scale, and Spielberger Trait Anxiety Inventory to two populations of high school students. The first group, 268 suburban females (mean age 16.2 years), completed their questionnaires in May 1988. The second population, 389 females and 281 males (mean age 16.0 years) in a city school with 92% black or Hispanic students, completed their questionnaires in February 1990 and were also measured for height and weight as part of a health screening. Scores of 21 or higher on the EAT‐26 were achieved by 17.5% of the suburban females, 15.0% of the urban females, and 6.0% of the urban males. Significantly more suburban females (63%) considered themselves overweight, compared with both urban females (35%) and males (19%), yet only 14% of suburban females were calculated to be >10% over ideal body weight, compared with 45% of urban females and 39% of urban males. Contrary to expectations, self‐esteem was higher and anxiety lower in the urban students than the suburban students; self‐esteem and anxiety were each significantly correlated with higher EAT scores in both populations, but believing oneself overweight was correlated with higher EAT scores in only the suburban students. These data indicate that abnormal eating attitudes are present among both urban and suburban students but with important differences in their manifestations and implications. © 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

“…Difficulties identifying feelings have been found to be predictive of treatment outcomes, independent of both depressive and ED symptoms (Speranza, Loas, Wallier, & Corcos, 2007 (Torres et al, 2011). This contrasts somewhat with the bulk of evidence from individual studies with EDs which report high levels of anger, hostility and disgust (Fava, Rappe, West, & Herzog, 1995;Ille et al, 2014;Krug et al, 2008;Swift, Bushnell, Hanson, & Logemann, 1986;Troop, Treasure, & Serpell, 2002;Williams, Chamove, & Millar, 1990) as well as elevated joy and surprise (Overton et al, 2005).…”
