恐惧和厌恶是与ED独立相关的不同情绪，并且可以激发可能是艾德干预的相关目标的回避行为（例如，食物排斥）。尽管类似的动机功能，这是可能的，一种情绪是更强烈地与艾德症状，相对于其他。鉴于新出现的证据表明，基于厌恶的行为可能比基于恐惧的行为更难改变，需要研究来评估每种情绪是否与艾德症状有差异。因此，目前的研究测试了恐惧和厌恶在解释艾德症状差异方面的相对重要性。参与者包括来自美国东北部一所大学的本科生男性（n = 127）和女性（n = 263）。参与者完成了评估人口统计学，饮食失调态度和行为的自我报告措施，以及评估对高热量食物图像，低热量食物图像和非食物恐惧和厌恶图像的恐惧和厌恶反应的视觉模拟量表。双变量相关性揭示了恐惧、厌恶和EDE-Q整体症状评分之间的显著正相关。相对权重分析结果产生的相对重要性权重，表明厌恶反应高热量的食物图像占最大的总方差在EDE-Q全球症状评分的男性，和恐惧反应高热量的食物图像占最大的总方差在EDE-Q评分的女性。调查结果提供了初步证据，调查和临床工作应考虑恐惧和厌恶的负面影响的独特方面，不同的模式相对重要性的艾德症状在本科男性和女性。(C)2018爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Fear and disgust are distinct emotions that have been independently linked with EDs and may motivate avoidance behaviors that may be relevant targets for ED interventions (e.g., food rejection). Despite similar motivational function, it is possible that one emotion is more strongly associated with ED symptoms, relative to the other. Given that emerging evidence suggests that disgust-based behavior may be more difficult to change than fear-based behaviors, research is needed to evaluate whether each emotion differentially relates to ED symptoms. Therefore, the current study tested the relative importance of fear and disgust in accounting for variance in ED symptoms. Participants included undergraduate men (n = 127) and women (n = 263) from a university in the northeast US. Participants completed self-report measures assessing demographics, disordered eating attitudes and behaviors, and visual analog scales assessing fear and disgust responses to high-calorie food images, low-calorie food images, and non-food fear and disgust images. Bivariate correlations revealed significant positive associations among fear, disgust, and EDE-Q global symptom scores. Relative weights analysis results yielded relative importance weights that suggested disgust responding to high calorie food images accounts for the greatest total variance in EDE-Q global symptom scores in men, and fear responding to high calorie food images accounts for the greatest total variance in EDE-Q scores in women. Findings provide initial evidence that investigative and clinical efforts should consider fear and disgust as unique facets of negative affect with different patterns of relative importance to ED symptoms in undergraduate men and women.
