Ellis JM, Essayli JH, Zickgraf HF, et al. - This study was attempted to evaluate the relative stigmatization of various eating disorders (EDs), subthreshold eating behaviors that predict their development, and how gender relates to stigma. Researchers included a sample of 1,147 college students who completed the study online. Individuals were assigned randomly and presented with a vignette representing a clinical ED (anorexia nervosa [AN], binge-eating disorder [BED], avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder), or a subthreshold eating presentation (restrained eating, emotional eating, picky eating). Compared to women, men reported more stigmatizing views toward BED and AN. Compared to the other targets overall, restraint was stigmatized less, and AN was the most stigmatized. Participants rated BED and AN as more pathological than all other targets, and restrained eating as less pathological than all other targets. Further study should evaluate how the severity of eating behavior affects perceptions and at what level behaviors, like restriction, are recognized as disordered.
