Question 1

Anorexics and bulimics often exhibit high levels of neuroticism, which is associated with emotional instability and anxiety. They also tend to have low self-esteem, which can contribute to their disordered eating behaviors as a way to cope with negative self-perceptions.

Question 10

One significant limitation of the work on perfectionism dimensions in eating disorders is that:

Accepted Answer

The passage highlights the need for both establishing the causal role of perfectionism dimensions in eating disorders and conducting longitudinal and prospective research on the same. Hence, options A and B are correct. Option C is not mentioned as a limitation in the passage.

Question 11

The way that some individuals (including those with eating disorders)try to minimize making mistakes in front of other people both in terms of their physical image and in general has been termed

Accepted Answer

Perfectionistic self-presentation refers to the desire to present oneself as flawless and mistake-free in front of others. This includes concerns over physical appearance as well as general behavior. This concept is applicable to individuals with eating disorders who may feel heightened pressures to maintain a certain ideal body image and to present themselves as perfect in other aspects of their lives as well. However, options A, C, and D do not fully capture the specific concept of perfectionistic self-presentation.

Question 12

The three-factor interactive model of bulimia links perfectionism with:

Accepted Answer

The three-factor interactive model of bulimia proposes that three factors interact to contribute to the development and maintenance of bulimia: perfectionism, low self-esteem and body dissatisfaction, and negative affect. Perfectionism is linked specifically to low self-esteem and body dissatisfaction, as individuals with high levels of perfectionism may hold unrealistic and unattainable standards for their appearance and self-worth. This can lead to chronic dissatisfaction with one's body and a drive to engage in unhealthy behaviors like bingeing and purging in an attempt to achieve these unrealistic standards.

Question 14

According to Canadian psychologists Steiger and Israel (1999), psychodynamic models interpreted symptoms of anorexia from a _________ perspective while contemporary models interpreted symptoms of anorexia from a _________ perspective.

Accepted Answer

Steiger and Israel (1999) contrasted psychodynamic and contemporary models of anorexia by stating that psychodynamic models interpret symptoms from a conflict perspective, suggesting internal conflicts are at the core of the disorder. Contemporary models, on the other hand, interpret symptoms from a deficit perspective, focusing on lacks or deficiencies in the individual's psychological makeup or in their environment.

Question 15

Studies of the personality of anorexics indicate that they are generally

Accepted Answer

Studies have found that individuals with anorexia nervosa typically have personality traits such as shyness, low self-esteem, and perfectionism. These individuals may also be overly compliant and have difficulty expressing their emotions or asserting themselves.

It is important to note that while these traits may be common among individuals with anorexia, it is not accurate or appropriate to make assumptions or stereotypes about any individual based on their diagnosis.

Question 16

Observing a family, rather than relying on self-report, can highlight the difference between a child's _______ and parents' _________.

Accepted Answer

Observing a family allows for the objective assessment of actual behavior, whereas relying on self-report may be influenced by a desire to look good or present oneself in a certain way, which may not necessarily reflect reality. This can highlight the difference between a child's perception of their own behavior and their parents' actual behavior. Option A and B focus on the motives behind the self-report, rather than the difference between perception and behavior. Option D only addresses behavior, without considering the potential influence of perception.

Question 17

Steiger and Israel (1999)agree with early theorist Hilde Bruch (1980)who suggests that anorexics

Accepted Answer

Steiger and Israel (1999) agree with Bruch's (1980) theory that anorexics may use dieting as a means of gaining control and identity in a world where they feel overcontrolled by parents. This suggests that anorexics are not trying to become thin for sexual conflicts or out of spite for their mothers, nor are they simply pursuing thinness as a societal ideal.

Question 18

Minuchin has argued that families of children with eating disorders are:

Accepted Answer

Minuchin has argued that families of children with eating disorders are rigid, overprotective, and enmeshed. Rigid families have strict rules and lack flexibility, which can lead to a child feeling pressure to conform to unrealistic standards. Overprotective families may not allow their child to experience normal developmental challenges, which can contribute to a sense of helplessness and a lack of autonomy. Enmeshed families have unclear boundaries between family members, which can cause a child's identity to become confused or lost. All three of these family patterns can contribute to the development and maintenance of an eating disorder.

Question 19

According to a study by DeGroot et al. (1992), what percentage of Toronto women with an eating disorder reported a history of sexual abuse?

According to the study by DeGroot et al. (1992), 25% of Toronto women with an eating disorder reported a history of sexual abuse.
