Article Abstract:

Research suggests that food and weight preoccupation are the most powerful predicators of binge eating. Binge eating was probed in two groups. One sample was comprised of 96 women, consisting of under graduate students and nurses and called 'ordinary group'. The second group consisted of models, dancers, athletes and members of health club numbering 105. This group was called 'body group'. Binge eating was examined as a function of actual body weight, attempts to control eating, food/weight preoccupation and neuroticism. Food and weight preoccupation was the major predictor in each group.

Article Abstract:

The Eating Disorder Inventory and the Bulimia Test Revised and four scales which measure various components of narcissism were completed by 117 women.

Moreover, the eating disorder measures were correlated with the measures of narcissism, indicating that there is a connection between bulimia and narcissism.

MMPI performance among women with bulimia: a cluster-analytic study

Article Abstract:

Cluster analysis of the MMPI performance of 42 women with bulimia revealed two separate profile types, illustrating the description, treatment and overall understanding of bulimia sufferers. The first cluster of 64% of sample produced a mean profile where only the Pd scale achieved a t score of 70, while about 36% of subjects yielded a cluster-derived mean profile which was higher on Pd, D, Pt and Sc scales.
