Imagery rescripting and cognitive dissonance: A randomized controlled trial of two brief online interventions for women at risk of developing an eating disorder
We examined the degree to which each intervention reduced disordered eating and modified risk and protective factors for eating disorders. MethodFemale university students (N = 107, 17–28 years of age) completed a screening questionnaire, followed by random allocation to one of the three conditions, followed by a baseline assessment, body dissatisfaction induction, and brief online intervention. Participants in the active conditions then completed online daily home practice and a postintervention questionnaire. ResultsFindings provide qualified support for the imagery rescripting intervention, with participants reporting...

Associations of parents' self, child, and other “fat talk” with child eating behaviors and weight
ConclusionsParents reported using different forms of fat talk frequently. Parent self‐ and obesity‐fat talk were reported more frequently, but child‐fat talk was the most strongly associated with children's eating and weight. Because of associations with disordered eating behaviors, intervening to reduce fat talk might contribute to improving pediatric disordered eating and weight‐related interventions.

Confirmatory factor analysis of the Eating Disorder Examination ‐Questionnaire: A comparison of five factor solutions across vegan and omnivore participants
This study compared goodness‐of‐fit of five alternative models of the EDE‐Q in vegans (i.e., individuals refraining from all animal products, n = 318) and omnivores (i.e., individuals not restricting intake of animal products, n = 200). Confirmatory factor analyses were used to compare fit indices of the original four‐factor model of the EDE‐Q, along with alternative three‐, two‐, full one‐, and brief one‐factor models. ResultsNo model provided adequate fit of the data in either sample of respondents. The fit of the brief one‐factor model was the closest to acceptable in omnivores, but did not perform a...

Self ‐objectification and disordered eating: A meta‐analysis
DiscussionOverall, results from the first meta‐analysis to examine the relationship between self‐objectification and disordered eating provide support for one of the major tenets of objectification theory and suggest that self‐objectification may be a meaningful target in eating disorder interventions, though further work is needed to establish temporal and causal relationships. Findings highlight current gaps in the literature (e.g., limited representation of males, and ethnic and sexual minorities) with implications for guiding future research. Resumen ObjetivoLa teoría de la cosificación postula que la auto‐c...

Dropout from cognitive ‐behavioral therapy for eating disorders: A meta‐analysis of randomized, controlled trials
ConclusionPresent study dropout estimates are hampered by the use of disparate dropout definitions applied. This meta‐analysis highlights the urgency for RCTs to utilize a standardized dropout definition and to report as much information on patient dropout as possible, so that strategies designed to minimize dropout can be developed, and factors predictive of CBT dropout can be more easily identified. Resumen ObjetivoLa terapia cognitivo conductual (TCC) es eficaz para una variedad de presentaciones de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA), sin embargo el abandono prematuro es un factor que puede limitar la eficac...

Comparing men and women with binge ‐eating disorder and co‐morbid obesity
This study examined differences in clinical presentation of men and women with binge‐eating disorder (BED) who participated in treatment research at a medical‐school based program. MethodParticipants were 682 adults (n = 182 men, n = 500 women) with DSM‐IV‐defined BED. Doctoral‐level research clinicians assessed eating‐disorder psychopathology, including BED diagnosis, using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐IV Disorders (SCID) and Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) interview. Research clinicians measured height and weight and participants completed a battery of established self‐report measures. Resu...
