Subliminal activation of abandonment- and eating-related schemata: Relationship with eating disordered attitudes in a nonclinical population

Article Abstract:

Subliminal abandonment and food-shape cues were presented to determine whether activation of abandonment-related or food-related schemata resulted. Subliminal presentation of abandonment cues resulted in the activation of food and shape related schemata, although subliminal appetive cues led to activation of abandonment related schemata.

Dissociation and eating psychopathology: gender differences in a nonclinical population

Article Abstract:

The scores of non-eating disordered men and women in the Eating Disorders Inventory and the Dissociated Experiences Scale were examined to determine whether there are sex differences in the relationship between eating psychopathology and dissociation in a nonclinical population. The findings indicate that it is not enough to use dissociation as a unitary construct when assessing its relationship with eating psychopathology, and that it may be better to analyze its various components.

The impact of emotion upon eating behavior: the role of subliminal visual processing of threat cues

Article Abstract:

Research designed to test the theory that the subliminal visual activation of threat-related schemata encourages eating in nonclinical women, especially those with unhealthy eating attitudes, has established that women eat considerably more after exposure to the abandonment cue (lonely). This finding reinforces the hypothesis that the role of overeating may be specifically to cut activation of abandonment schemata. Exposure to the positive emotion cue (happy) was not found to lead to a rise in eating relative to the neutral cue (gallery), suggesting that eating is facilitated specifically by negative emotional stimulation.
