BODY SCHEMAThe primary objective of the current study is investigating whether AN patients and controls differ in body schema. The first secondary objective of the current study is investigate whether there is a relation between body dissatisfaction…
The primary objective of the current study is investigating whether AN patients and controls differ how they experience the shape and size of a rubber hand that during the Rubber Hand Illusion is incorporated in their body image, compared to how…
This study aims to contribute from a cognitive-motivational perspective to a better understanding of the processes involved in dysfunctional eating behavior in anorexia nervosa and obesity.
The objective of the proposed study is to investigate the disturbance of body size representation at the various levels of attitude, image and schema (1). It will be tested whether 1) AN patients have relatively a high level of negative body…
In the current study we want to investigate the illness perceptions of ED patients, to compare their perceptions with the illness perceptions of their family caregivers and therapists and to compare the illness perceptions of ED patients to a…
We hypothesized that trying to regulate negative emotions would lead to binge eating in patients with BED. Patients with BED who actively try to alter their negative emotions are unable to control or inhibit their desire to resist (fattening) food…
The aim of the present study is to test whether there is a causal relationship between expectancies regarding the effect of eating on mood, changes in mood and actual caloric intake. In order to test whether there is a causal relationship between…
