Comparing stigmatizing attitudes toward anorexia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder, and subthreshold eating behaviors in college students
Eating Behaviours Nov 05, 2020
Ellis JM, Essayli JH, Zickgraf HF, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate the relative stigmatization of various eating disorders (EDs) and the subthreshold eating behaviors that are risk factors for their development, and the relation of gender differences to stigma. Researchers recruited a sample of 1,147 college students. Individuals were assigned randomly and presented with a vignette representing a clinical ED [anorexia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder], or a subthreshold eating presentation (restrained eating, emotional eating, picky eating). Further study is needed to investigate how the severity of eating behavior influences perceptions and at what level behaviors such as restriction are recognized as disordered.
