The aims were to determine if emotion recognition deficits observed in eating disorders generalize to non-clinical disordered eating and to establish if other psychopathological and personality factors contributed to, or accounted for, these deficits.
Females with high (n=23) and low (n=22) scores on the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) were assessed on their ability to recognise emotion from videotaped social interactions. Participants also completed a face memory task, a Stroop task, and self-report measures of alexithymia, depression and anxiety.
Relative to the low EDI group, high EDI participants exhibited a general deficit in recognition of emotion, which was related to their scores on the alexithymia measure and the bulimia subscale of the EDI. They also exhibited a specific deficit in the recognition of anger, which was related to their scores on the body dissatisfaction subscale of the EDI.
In line with clinical eating disorders, non-clinical disordered eating is associated with emotion recognition deficits. However, the nature of these deficits appears to be dependent upon the type of eating psychopathology and the degree of co-morbid alexithymia.
本研究旨在确定在进食障碍中观察到的情绪识别缺陷是否泛化到非临床的饮食失调，并确定其他心理病理和人格因素是否有助于或解释了这些缺陷。
采用进食障碍问卷（EDI）对高分（n=23）和低分（n=22）组的女性进行评估，以评估她们从录像社交互动中识别情绪的能力。参与者还完成了面孔记忆任务、斯特鲁普任务以及述情障碍、抑郁和焦虑的自我报告测量。
与低 EDI 组相比，高 EDI 组表现出一般的情绪识别缺陷，这与他们的述情障碍测量分数和 EDI 的贪食分量表分数有关。他们还表现出对愤怒的特定识别缺陷，这与他们在 EDI 的身体不满分量表上的分数有关。
与临床进食障碍一致，非临床饮食失调与情绪识别缺陷有关。然而，这些缺陷的性质似乎取决于饮食病理的类型和共病述情障碍的程度。
