Perfectionism, body dissatisfaction, and self-esteem in predicting bulimic symptomatology: Lack of replication

Article Abstract:

An independent replication of the prospective test of the three-factor 'Perfectionism X Body Dissatisfaction X Self-Esteem' etiologic model was conducted to predict bulimic symptomatology. Although the study provided a more sensitive test of the model as a sample at higher risk for bulimic symptom increases, more sensitive diagnostic interviews, a longer follow-up period, and a larger sample, the three-way interaction did not predict subsequent increases in bulimic symptoms.

Trial of a psychoeducational eating disturbance intervention for college women: A replication and extension

Article Abstract:

A controlled trial of a psychoeducational eating disturbance intervention was conducted to replicate the positive findings observed in the preliminary evaluation of this intervention and to determine whether the effects persisted for a longer follow-up period. Findings suggest that the intervention effects for eating disorder risk factors, eating disorder symptoms, and the weight gain prevention effects are reproducible and persist over time.

In vivo social comparison to a thin-ideal peer promotes body dissatisfaction: A randomized experiment

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to examine whether by virtue of social comparison and sociocultural pressure to embody the thin ideal, thin women make other women feel badly about themselves and their own bodies. Results show that social comparative pressure to be thin fosters body dissatisfaction but might not promote negative affect.
