The aim of the study was to analyse differences in observer rated affect consciousness (AC) between subgroups of patients diagnosed with eating disorders (N = 44; 30 with anorexia nervosa and 14 with bulimia nervosa), and a non-clinical group (N = 40). Another aim was to study the short-term stability of AC over 10-11 weeks of treatment and its relation to self-reported eating pathology and general psychopathology. A moderate short-term stability of AC was found but the levels were not correlated with eating pathology or psychopathology. No differences between the two diagnostic categories were found, but the eating disorder group as whole had significantly lower AC compared with a non-eating disorder reference group. AC seems to be a moderately stable ability that differentiates patients diagnosed with eating disorders from a non-clinical population. However, AC is not related to symptoms of eating disorder or general psychiatric symptoms in this group of patients.
本研究旨在分析在不同组别患者中观察到的情感意识（AC）差异，这些患者被诊断为饮食障碍（N=44；30 名神经性厌食症和 14 名神经性贪食症），以及非临床组（N=40）。另一个目的是研究在 10-11 周的治疗过程中，AC 的短期稳定性及其与自我报告的饮食病理学和一般精神病理学的关系。研究发现 AC 具有中度的短期稳定性，但水平与饮食病理学或精神病理学无关。在这两个诊断类别之间没有发现差异，但整个饮食障碍组的 AC 明显低于非饮食障碍参考组。AC 似乎是一种中等稳定的能力，可将诊断为饮食障碍的患者与非临床人群区分开来。然而，在这组患者中，AC 与饮食障碍症状或一般精神症状无关。
