Examined the reliability and validity of binge eating disorder (BED), which has been proposed for inclusion in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV). The interrater reliability of the BED diagnosis compared favorably with that of most diagnoses in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-III-Revised (DSM-III-R). To assess validity, the authors compared obese individuals with and without BED and bulimia nervosa patients. BED Ss differed from the non-BED obese group on variables related to dieting and weight histories but did not differ significantly on other important variables, including measures of psychopathology. When compared with bulimia nervosa patients, Ss with BED had significantly less psychopathology and reported significantly less dietary restraint. This study lends some support to the concept of BED but suggests that additional studies of the characteristics of this disorder at different degrees of obesity would be useful.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
