Machiavellianism has not previously been systematically explored in the eating disorders. This personality dimension involves the social cognitive processes required to identify others' intentions and the use of strategies to deceive and manipulate others. Individuals suffering with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) often try to conceal their disorder through the use of deceptive strategies. In this study we explore Machiavellianism in 22 female AN patients and 41 female healthy controls (HCs). AN patients and HCs did not differ significantly in their self-reported Machiavellianism, but both groups did score highly in this domain. Possible explanations for these results are discussed.
马基雅维利主义此前尚未在饮食失调领域得到系统研究。这一个性维度涉及识别他人意图所需的社会认知过程，以及运用策略欺骗和操纵他人。神经性厌食症（AN）患者常常试图通过使用欺骗策略来隐瞒自己的病情。在本研究中，我们对22名女性AN患者和41名女性健康对照者（HCs）的马基雅维利主义进行了探究。AN患者和HCs在自我报告的马基雅维利主义方面没有显著差异，但两组在这一维度上的得分都很高。我们对这些结果的可能解释进行了讨论。
