Sensation Seeking Scale

El presente estudio examina la impulsividad y la búsqueda de sensaciones como posibles factores asociados a actitudes y comportamientos característicos de la anorexia y bulimia nerviosas en estudiantes de ambos sexos, entre 12 y 20 años de edad. El diseño se corresponde con un estudio observacional analítico de casos y controles, donde los casos corresponden al grupo de sujetos sintomáticos (han superado el punto de corte propuesto por los autores en los distintos instrumentos de evaluación) y los controles al grupo asintomático (no han superado el punto de corte). La muestra estaba constituida por 300 estudiantes de la provincia de Málaga (España), 136 varones (45.33%) y 164 muje-res (54.66%), que respondieron de manera voluntaria, anónima y bajo el consentimiento de los padres a los siguientes cuestionarios y escalas: Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI-II), Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), Bulimia Test Revised (BULIT-R), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) y Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS-V). Los resultados constatan una correlación positiva entre la impulsividad y sintomatología asociada con la conducta alimentaria alterada, anorexia y bulimia nerviosas. En la variable búsqueda de sensaciones dicha correlación sólo es positiva cuando se estudia con sintomatología bulímica. En resumen, impulsividad y búsqueda de sensaciones parecen ser variables estrechamente relacionadas con los TCA y, por tanto, deberían ser incluidas en programas de estilos de vida saludables, ya que po-drían contribuir a disminuir y/o prevenir el incremento de los TCA en población adolescente.

Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten wurden die psychischen Auswirkungen elterlichen Alkoholismus auf deren Kinder (children of alcoholics) verstärkt betrachtet. Fragestellung: Hintergrund der Studie ist die Frage, ob das Aufwachsen in einer Familie, in der ein Elternteil an einer Alkoholstörung erkrankt ist, insbesondere für die Töchter das Risiko erhöht, an einer Essstörung zu erkranken. Vorausgegangene Studien analysierten, (a) inwieweit bei essgestörten Frauen eine Alkoholstörung bei deren Eltern vorlag bzw. (b) ob bei alkoholerkrankten Eltern die Rate töchterlicher Essstörungen erhöht war. Die bis heute uneindeutige Befundlage sollte in der Studie eruiert werden. Methode: Es wurden zwei Ansätze verfolgt: (a) Untersuchung 100 essgestörter Frauen (13-26 J.) mittels klinischer Interviews und Fragebögen ([1] Familiengeschichte, [2] Children of Alcoholics Screening Test (CAST)), (b) Untersuchung 47 alkoholerkrankter Elternteile über wahrgenommene Essstörungssymptome der Töchter ([1] klinische Interviews, [2] Eating Attitudes Test 26 - Fremdauskunft, [3] Subskalen des Eating Disorder Inventory EDI - Fremdauskunft; sowie Befragung von deren Töchtern (N = 54) [EAT-26, EDI, CAST]. Ergebnisse: Die Ergebnisse können unsere Hypothese, dass es einen Zusammenhang zwischen Essstörung der Töchter und dem Alkoholabusus der Eltern gibt, stützen. Für Untersuchungsstichprobe (a) (Töchter) ergab sich eine Rate elterlicher Alkoholerkrankungen von 47% (Grundrate in der Allgemeinbevölkerung 1.1-4%). Für Untersuchungsstichprobe (b) (Eltern mit Alkoholerkrankung) wurde eine töchterliche Rate an Essstörungssymptomen von ca. 40% ermittelt (Essstörungsraten bei jungen Frauen z.B. 3% für Bulimie, 10% für subklinische Essstörungssymptome). Schlussfolgerung: Elterlicher Alkoholabusus stellt einen bedeutsamen Risikofaktor für die Entwicklung einer Essstörung bei Töchtern dar. Die Ergebnisse werden vor dem Hintergrund familiärer Sozialisation und der allgemeinen Transmission psychischer Störungen diskutiert.

Objective: To examine eating disorder attitudes and psychopathology among female university students in Australia and Thailand. Method: Participants were 110 Caucasian Australians, 130 Asian Australians and 101 Thais in Thailand. The instruments included the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) and the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI). Results: Eating disorder attitudes and psychopathology scores in the Thai group were found to be highest. The Asian Australian group did not have significantly higher scores on the EAT-26 than the Caucasian Australian group, but had higher scores in some subscales of the EDI-2. That the Thai group had the highest scores in susceptibility to developing an eating disorder and eating disorder psychopathology may be partially explained in sociocultural terms, with pressure to be thin more extreme in Thailand than in Australia. The evidence suggested that unhealthy eating disorder psychopathology is not limited to Western societies but is already present in Thai and other Asian societies.

Abstract Background: The 26-item Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) is a commonly used tool to assess eating disorder risk. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the EAT-26 with a sample of adults (n=469; age=36.17±17.83 years; female =72.5%; white=66.3%; obese BMI category=58%).Methods: Rasch analysis of the EAT-26 assessed model-data fit, an item-person map to evaluate relative distribution items and persons, item difficulty, and person’s eating disorder (ED) risk level, differential item functioning (DIF), and rating scale functioning. Results: A total of 7 misfit items were removed from the final analysis due to unacceptable Infit and Outfit mean square residual values. The item-person map showed that the items were biased toward participants with moderate to high levels of ED risk and did not cover those who had low risk for having an ED (< -1 logits). The DIF analyses results showed that none of the items functioned differently across sex, but 5 items were flagged based on obesity status. The six-category Likert-type rating scale did not function well indicating a different response format may be needed.Conclusion: Several concerns were identified with the psychometric evaluation of the EAT-26 that may question its utility in assessing ED risk. Because the EAT-26 is a frequently used screening tool for nonclinical populations, future work should focus on developing screening tools that are more effective at assessing ED risk in people with overweight and obesity.

Of 184 female outpatients meeting the DSM-III-R criteria, for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or anorexia nervosa with bulimia, approximately 25% reported previous sexual abuse. Furthermore, previous sexual abuse was associated with greater psychological disturbance, measured by the Eating Disorder Inventory and Eating Attitudes Test. Sexual functioning did not differ among women who did or did not report sexual abuse. This finding suggests that sexual abuse or its correlates may affect severity rather than type of eating disorder.

This paper focuses on the validation of the Spanish form of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26; Garner, Olmsted, Bohr & Garfinkel, 1982) across two studies. Participants in Study 1 were 778 females recruited from community settings (aged 12-21). Study 2 included 86 females recruited from clinical and 86 females from community settings (aged 12-35). Results from Principal and Simultaneous Component Analyses showed a unidimensional structure of the EAT-26 item scores. Reliability analyses supported the internal consistency of the scale. Study 1 also explores the ability of the EAT-26 to discriminate between subjects with Eating Disorder (ED), Symptomatic or Asymptomatic by means of ROC analyses and using results from the Questionnaire for Eating Disorder Diagnoses (Q-EDD; Mintz, O'Halloran, Mulholland, & Schneider, 1997) as criterion. The EAT-26 demonstrated good specificity but insufficient sensitivity to detect a full or partial ED. Study 2 explores the ability of the questionnaire to discriminate between subjects with and without ED. The EAT-26 demonstrated good specificity and moderate sensitivity to detect ED. Clinical and theoretical implications of these results are discussed.

O perfecionismo tem sido associado ao desenvolvimento de sintomatologia de perturbação alimentar, apesar de ser ainda necessário o seu escrutínio em adolescentes dos dois sexos. Pretendeu-se investigar o contributo e as relações entre o perfecionismo e a sintomatologia emocional no desenvolvimento de comportamento alimentar perturbado em ambos os sexos numa amostra de 531 adolescentes. Utilizaram-se o Eating Attitudes Test 26, Cuestionario Educativo-Clínico: Ansiedad y Depresión e a subescala de perfecionismo do Eating Disorder Inventory 2. Com recurso a regressões múltiplas hierárquicas identificou-se que a idade, dieta, perfecionismo auto-orientado e depressão contribuem para explicar significativamente 42% da variância da sintomatologia de perturbação alimentar nas raparigas. Nos rapazes o perfecionismo global e a sintomatologia de perturbação emocional contribuíram para explicar 10% da variância da sintomatologia relativa a esta perturbação. São discutidas as implicações dos fatores de risco estudados para o desenvolvimento das perturbações alimentares na adolescência e sua forma de avaliação.

RESUMO Introdução: Parece que a busca pela muscularidade pode ter relação com os transtornos alimentares (TA) em atletas do sexo masculino. Todavia, de acordo com nosso conhecimento, não existem estudos sobre esse tema. Objetivo: Analisar a relação da busca pela muscularidade e estado de humor com os transtornos alimentares nessa população. Métodos: Participaram do estudo 112 competidores de diversas modalidades esportivas, pertencentes a federações do sudeste brasileiro. Utilizou-se o Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), Drive for Muscularity Scale (DFM) e a Escala de Humor de Brunel (BRUMS) para avaliar, respectivamente, os comportamentos alimentares de risco de TA, a busca pela muscularidade e o estado de humor. Resultados: Os achados dos modelos de regressão hierárquica não demonstraram relação da busca pela muscularidade (p > 0,05) e do estado de humor (p > 0,05) com os transtornos alimentares. Todavia, os resultados indicaram diferença de busca pela muscularidade em razão das classificações do EAT-26 (p < 0,05), fato que não foi revelado para o estado de humor (p > 0,05). Conclusão: Concluiu-se que tanto o estado de humor quanto a busca pela muscularidade não se relacionaram com os transtornos alimentares em atletas do sexo masculino.
