Cognitive avoidance of threat cues: association with eating disorder inventory scores among a non-eating disordered population

Article Abstract:

A two-part investigation of the process of cognitive avoidance of threat among non-eating disordered women with bulimic tendencies is presented. The study requires the women to unscramble threat and non-threat anagrams. It is hypothesized that women with greater levels of eating problems and related psychopathology will take longer to solve food- and threat-related words than the control group. It is found that non-eating-disordered women processe both food- and threat-related words slower if they have other problems, such as those associated with ego development.
