To identify distinguishing features of personality associated with anorexia nervosa in adolescence, univariate and multiple group discriminant function analyses were used to compare the Cattell High School Personality Questionnaire responses of 50 anorectics and matched groups of depressed and antisocial adolescent females. Results indicated the presence of two major sources of discriminating variance. Relative to both control groups, anorectics were characterized by significantly greater conformity, neurotic anxieties, control of emotionality, and stimulus avoidance. These findings suggest that at the level of personality functioning, the anorectic has failed to acquire the sense of individuation, mastery, and general plasticity of psychological functioning necessary to cope effectively with critical developmental tasks and progress toward identity formation. Results are discussed in terms of the extant literature on anorexia nervosa and future research needs.
为了确定与青春期厌食症相关的人格特征，使用单变量和多变量判别函数分析比较了 50 名厌食症患者和匹配的抑郁和反社会青春期女性组的 Cattell 高中人格问卷（Cattell High School Personality Questionnaire）的反应。结果表明存在两个主要的判别方差源。与两个对照组相比，厌食症患者的从众性、神经质焦虑、情绪控制和刺激回避明显更高。这些发现表明，在人格功能水平上，厌食症患者未能获得个体化、掌握和心理功能普遍可塑性的意识，而这些意识是有效应对关键发展任务和走向身份认同形成所必需的。结果是根据现有的厌食症文献和未来的研究需求进行讨论的。
