It remains an open question whether there are basic emotional perception and emotional processing deficits in eating disorders (ED). The aim of this study was to explore deficits in emotional perception in restrictive anorexia nervosa (AN-R) and bulimia nervosa (BN), using visual emotional stimuli.
Thirty-four patients with ED (19 with BN and 15 with AN-R) were compared with 25 controls. Visual stimuli from the international affective picture system were used.
Patients with AN-R showed increased fear when confronted with stimuli containing anger, whereas patients with BN showed a tendency towards decreased fear. There were no other fundamental differences in the emotional perception of fear, happiness, sadness, and anger.
The finding of increased fear when exposed to the emotion of anger might be attributed to introversion and conflict avoidance of anorectic patients. No other basic deficiency of emotional perception was found.
饮食失调(ED)患者是否存在基本情绪感知和情绪加工缺陷仍是一个悬而未决的问题。本研究旨在使用视觉情绪刺激来探究限制型神经性厌食症(AN-R)和神经性贪食症(BN)患者的情绪感知缺陷。
将34例饮食失调患者(19例BN患者和15例AN-R患者)与25名对照者进行比较。使用国际情感图片系统的视觉刺激。
AN-R患者在面对包含愤怒的刺激时表现出恐惧增加,而BN患者则表现出恐惧降低的趋势。在对恐惧、快乐、悲伤和愤怒的情绪感知方面没有其他根本差异。
暴露于愤怒情绪时恐惧增加的发现可能归因于厌食症患者的内向性和冲突回避。未发现其他基本的情绪感知缺陷。
