完美主义和饮食失调之间存在密切联系，但迄今为止很少有研究探讨这种关系的中介因素。本研究的目的是在寻求治疗的饮食失调患者的临床样本（N = 370，M年龄= 25.04，99%女性）中调查焦虑对完美主义和饮食病理学之间关系的中介作用（神经性贪食症 - 41 %；未另有说明的饮食失调 - 41 %；神经性厌食症 - 18 %）。结构方程模型的结果表明，焦虑部分介导了自我导向的完美主义与饮食失调精神病理学之间的关系。研究结果表明焦虑和完美主义在饮食病理学认知行为模型中的作用，并对饮食失调的治疗具有影响。
There is a strong link between perfectionism and eating disorders, yet little research to date has examined mediators of this relationship. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of anxiety on the relationship between perfectionism and eating pathology in a clinical sample (N = 370, M age = 25.04, 99 % female) of treatment-seeking eating disorder patients (bulimia nervosa-41 %; eating disorder not otherwise specified-41 %; anorexia nervosa-18 %). Results from structural equation modeling indicated that anxiety partially mediated the relationship between self-oriented perfectionism and eating disorder psychopathology. The findings suggest the role of anxiety and perfectionism within cognitive-behavioral models of eating pathology, and have implications for the treatment of eating disorders.
