A greater role of emotional than physical or sexual abuse in predicting disordered eating attitudes: The role of mediating variables

Article Abstract:

Research into the long term consequences of childhood abuse on eating psychopathology has focused mainly on the impact of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), although there have been some examinations of the role of childhood physical abuse (CPA). Childhood emotional abuse (CEA) has virtually been ignored. A study aimed to determine the links between the different types of reported childhood trauma and eating psychopathology, in a non-clinical sample. All forms of abuse were independently related to eating psychopathology, although CEA was seen as the most reliable predictor of general eating disordered attitudes and behavior.

Perceived control in eating disorders: relationship with reported sexual abuse

Article Abstract:

The relationship between perceived control and eating disorders is examined by comparing samples of women with a history of sexual abuse and those with no such history. The study tested the hypothesis that women with eating disorders and who had experienced sexual abuse will have lower perceived control over their lives. The findings suggest a relationship between a reported history of sexual abuse and external locus of control.
