A longitudinal study of potentially traumatic events and binge-purge eating disorder onset in children
Although the association between childhood trauma and subsequent binge-purge spectrum eating disorders (BP-EDs) is established in adult samples, little is known about the temporal association between potentially traumatic life events and BP-ED onset in children. Using longitudinal data from the U.S.-nationwide Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study with children aged 9-10 at baseline, logistic regression with complex sampling assesse…
Psychiatric comorbidity of eating disorders in children between the ages of 9 and 10
BACKGROUND: Eating disorders exhibit high comorbidity with other psychiatric disorders, most notably mood, substance use, and anxiety disorders. However, most studies examining psychiatric comorbidity are conducted in adolescents and adults. Therefore, the comorbidity among children living with eating disorders is unknown. The aim of this study was to characterize co-occurring psychiatric disorders with eating disorders in a US sample of children…
Confirmatory factor and measurement invariance analyses of the Drive for Muscularity Scale in sexual minority men and women
The Drive for Muscularity Scale (DMS) is a commonly used measure used to assess the pursuit of muscularity. However, the factor structure of this measure has yet to be confirmed in a sample of sexual minority women. Moreover, the invariance of this measure across gender has also yet to be explored. The aim of the present study was, therefore, to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the DMS in samples of both cisgender sexual minority m…
Integrating minority stress theory and the tripartite influence model
Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses associated with high mortality rates and health complications. Prior research has found increased rates of eating pathology in sexual minority (SM; e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual) individuals compared to sexual majority (i.e., heterosexual) individuals. Two prominent models have potential to explain these differences: the tripartite influence model and minority stress theory. While both models separatel…
Appearance discrimination and binge eating among sexual minority men
An evaluation of the Aerie Real campaign
This study evaluated the impact on young women's body satisfaction of an advertising campaign: Aerie Real, which included images of models who were not digitally modified. In total, 200 female students were randomly allocated to view either Aerie Real images or digitally modified images from previous campaigns. In the total sample, no condition differences appeared. However, participants with high appearance comparison reported a smaller decrease…
