DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There has been much speculation that individuals who evidence eating pathology have impairments in emotional processing and emotion regulation (e.g., Mountford, 2004; Vervaet et al., 2003). Despite the critical role emotions are thought to play in the etiology and maintenance of eating pathology there has been relatively little empirical work conducted in this area. The purpose of the proposed study is to further understand emotional impairments in women with eating pathology by studying emotional reactivity and regulation in response to affect eliciting pictures (pleasant, unpleasant and neutral) in women with primarily anorexic-type symptoms (restrictors), primarily bulimic symptoms , and controls using psychophysiological and subjective indices of emotional response. It is hypothesized that both restrictor and bulimic participants will show greater physiological reactivity to the pleasant and unpleasant pictures compared to the control participants, and the pattern of heightened reactivity will continue to be displayed among these two groups after picture offset, consistent with emotion dysregulation. In addition, it is expected that restrictor participants will report diminished self-reported emotion relative to the bulimic and control participants.

描述（由申请人提供）：有很多猜测，证明饮食病理学的人在情绪处理和情绪调节方面有损害（例如，Mountford，2004； Vervaet等，2003）。尽管人们认为情感在饮食病理学的病因学和维持中发挥了关键作用，但在该领域进行的经验工作相对较少。拟议的研究的目的是通过研究情绪反应性和调节来进一步理解患有饮食病理的女性的情绪障碍，以应对影响的女性（愉快，不愉快和中性），主要是厌食症症状（限制性症状），主要是粗暴的症状，主要是耐心的症状，以及使用心理生理学和主题的情感互动的对照。假设与对照参与者相比，限制仪和粗暴的参与者都会表现出更大的生理反应性，对愉快和令人不快的图片，并且在这两组偏移后，反应性的增强模式将继续显示，这与情绪失调一致。此外，预计限制性参与者将报告相对于暴躁和控制参与者，自我报告的情绪减少。
