描述(由申请人提供)：长期目标： 1.扩大我对肥胖和饮食失调的性质和治疗的认识和研究能力。 2.进一步了解儿童肥胖与EDS的关系，特别是肥胖儿童和青少年饮食病理和EDS发生的危险因素和维持因素。 具体目标： 1.对寻求治疗超重和肥胖的不同青年样本(10-18岁)进行精神病理学，特别是精神障碍、亚临床进食病理、情绪障碍和焦虑症的特征分析。 2.从经验和理论两个方面评价ED病理，特别是身体不满意、过度关注体重和体型与暴饮暴食之间的关系，以及与饮食病理发病机制相关的五个因素。要考察的五个因素包括负面情绪、完美主义、瘦身理想的内化、父母对饮食态度/行为的建模，以及与外表相关的取笑。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Long-term Goals: 1. To expand my knowledge of, and ability to conduct research into, the nature and treatment of obesity and eating disorders (EDs). 2. To better understand the relation between pediatric obesity and EDs, and particularly to look at risk and maintenance factors in the development of eating pathology and EDs in children and adolescents with obesity. Specific Aims: 1. To characterize a diverse sample of youth (ages 10-18) seeking treatment for overweight and obesity in terms of psychopathology, specifically EDs, subclinical eating pathology, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders. 2. To evaluate the relationship between ED pathology, specifically body dissatisfaction, over concern with body weight and shape, and binge eating, and five components linked to the pathogenesis of eating pathology by empirical and theoretical evidence. The five components to be examined include negative affect, perfectionism, internalization of a thin body ideal, parent modeling of eating attitudes/behaviors, and appearance-related teasing.
