Demographic Covariates

Eating disorder (ED) symptoms often co-occur with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). This comorbidity is consistent with evidence that trait negative urgency increases risk for both of these phenomena. We previously found that impaired late-stage negative emotional response inhibition (i.e., negative emotional action termination or NEAT) might represent a neurocognitive mechanism for heightened negative urgency among people with NSSI history. The current study evaluated whether relations between negative urgency and ED symptoms similarly reflect deficits in this neurocognitive process. A total of 105 community adults completed an assessment of ED symptoms, negative urgency, and an emotional response inhibition task. Results indicated that, contrary to predictions, negative urgency and NEAT contributed independent variance to the prediction of ED symptoms, while controlling for demographic covariates and NSSI history. Worse NEAT was also uniquely associated with restrictive eating, after accounting for negative urgency. Our findings suggest that difficulty inhibiting ongoing motor responses triggered by negative emotional reactions (i.e., NEAT) may be a shared neurocognitive characteristic of ED symptoms and NSSI. However, negative urgency and NEAT dysfunction capture separate variance in the prediction of ED-related cognitions and behaviors, distinct from the pattern of results we previously observed in NSSI.

Early Experiences

BackgroundThere is some evidence that early sexual abuse is an aetiological factor for eating disorder. However, there is sparse information from large-scale, non-clinical studies.AimsThis study was designed to explore which early experiences, recalled during pregnancy, were associated with both lifetime and antenatal eating disorder symptoms in a community sample.MethodUnivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted of data from questionnaires administered during pregnancy to a community sample of pregnant women.ResultsRecall of parental mental health problems and of early unwanted sexual experiences were independently associated with both lifetime eating problems, laxative use and vomiting during pregnancy, and marked concern during pregnancy over shape and weight.ConclusionsThere are public health implications for these results. Eating disorders in mothers represent a risk for child development. It may be important to enquire during pregnancy about a history of eating problems and to provide the opportunity for early experiences to be discussed.

Abstract Objective: The high co-occurrence of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviours and eating disorder (ED) symptoms suggests these conditions share common aetiological processes. We assessed whether insecure attachment and maladaptive schemas were related to NSSI and ED symptoms through affect dysregulation, impulsivity, self-esteem, and body dissatisfaction. Method:123 ED patients and 531 individuals from the community completed an online survey, which included measures assessing the variables of interest. Results: The model was a good fit for the ED group, however only a revised model reached an acceptable fit for the community sample. In the community group, impulsivity was a shared predictor for NSSI and bulimic symptoms, whereas affect dysregulation was a unique predictor for NSSI in both the ED and community groups. No other variables were shared by NSSI and ED symptoms in the two groups. Both attachment and maladaptive schemas were implicated in the pathways leading to ED and NSSI symptoms in the clinical ED and the community sample. The variance explained for NSSI and drive for thinness were highest for the clinical ED sample (29% and 57% respectively). Conclusion: Common factors may underlie NSSI and ED symptoms, however, these factors may become more specific and less prevalent as a function of disorder severity.
