Disordered eating is related to deficits in emotional processing: A correlational study with a subclinical sample.

Background: Both clinical and non-clinical levels of disordered eating behaviours have been associated with deficits in emotional processing.

Methods: Through a correlational design, the present study examined the relationship between different types of disordered eating behaviours and various forms of emotional processing. N = 209 female undergraduate participants completed self-report measures of disordered eating behaviours, perceived emotion intensity, emotion regulation skills, and self-compassion.
