The putative correlates of bulimia, including measures of object relations impairment, ego defenses, trait anxiety, depression and dependency, have been investigated in college age women. There were significant group variables, and the relative contribution of these variables to the differentiation between psychometrically defined, bulimic and nonbulimic women, showed that trait anxiety, dependency and depression differentiated these groups.

Mood and forbidden foods' influence on perceptions of binge eating

Article Abstract:

Bulimia nervosa is distinguished by recurrent episodes of binge eating. The effects of induced mood and food type on perceptions of eating have been studied. Results showed limited support for affect regulation models of bulimia nervosa when consuming food, and no support for the theory when they imagined eating. Forbidden foods had an influence on perceptions in an imagined eating situation, although not when participants ate.
