Relationships between nonappearance self-discrepancy, weight discrepancy, and binge eating disorder symptoms.

CONCLUSION: These findings suggest distinct associations of weight discrepancy and nonappearance self-discrepancy with ED and related symptoms, as well as each of these constructs' relevance to everyday functioning in BED. The results also highlight potential avenues for future research to examine mechanistic pathways by which self-discrepancy influences BED severity.
