这项研究调查了焦虑，再加上对外表的关注，是否会确定最有可能表现出饮食病理的个人，这些病理被概念化为安全行为/避免策略。特别是，我们考察了外表或有自我价值感和与朋友的外表对话，作为焦虑-饮食失调关系的可能调节因素。参与者是441名就读于东南大学的女性，她们完成了一项在线调查。结果表明，高焦虑、高表象自我价值感和频繁表象对话三者的暴饮暴食频率最高。虽然在广泛的饮食病理和饮食限制方面没有出现显著的三向交互作用，但在这两个模型中，焦虑x外表或有自我价值的交互作用解释了这些饮食模式的独特差异。研究结果为研究人员和临床医生提供了更好的理解，使他们更好地了解谁经历了与焦虑相关的各种类型的饮食紊乱，以及可能的干预点。
This study examined whether anxiety, combined with a focus on appearance, would identify individuals most likely to exhibit eating pathology, conceptualized as safety behaviors/avoidance strategies. In particular, we examined appearance contingent self-worth and appearance conversations with friends as possible moderators of the anxiety-disordered eating relation. Participants were 441 women attending a Southeastern university who completed an online survey. Results indicated that those with the three-way combination of high anxiety, high appearance contingent self-worth, and frequent appearance conversations exhibited the most frequent binge eating. While no significant three-way interactions emerged for broad eating pathology and dietary restraint, in both models it was the anxiety x appearance contingent self-worth interaction that accounted for unique variance in these eating patterns. Results provide researchers and clinicians with a better understanding of who experiences various types of disordered eating in association with anxiety and possible points of intervention.
