AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how early adaptive schemas relate to eating disorder symptoms in adults, involving 388 participants (352 females and 36 males) aged 18 to 49.
- Results indicated that high levels of Healthy Boundaries and low levels of Optimism were associated with reduced eating disorder concerns, while Emotional Openness and Social Belonging also contributed to lower levels of eating concerns.
- The findings suggest that certain positive schemas may serve as protective factors against eating disorders, indicating potential areas for therapeutic intervention, and highlight the need for further research on schemas related to specific eating disorder types.
Article Abstract
Objective: The current study aimed to examine the relationship between early adaptive schemas and eating disorder symptomatology in adults.
Method: A cross-sectional, correlational design was used to collect data from 352 females and 36 males aged between 18 and 49 years (M = 25.70, SD = 7.04). Participants completed an online questionnaire, which included The Young Positive Schema Questionnaire (YPSQ), Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) and demographic measures.
Results: Four separate hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that high levels of Healthy Boundaries and low levels of Optimism significantly predicted lower Restraint, Eating Concern, Shape Concern and Weight Concern scores. Additionally, higher scores in Emotional Openness and Social Belonging significantly predicted lower Eating Concern, while higher scores in Self-Care significantly predicted lower levels of Shape Concern.
Conclusion: The findings highlight the protective function that certain early adaptive schemas may play in mitigating eating disorder symptomatology. Moreover, the findings allude to potential modifiable therapy targets in the treatment of eating disorders. Further research is needed to investigate any differences in early adaptive schemas between eating disorder diagnoses.

Exploration of cognitive flexibility and emotion recognition in adolescents with eating disorders.
J Int Neuropsychol Soc
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry, Ankara University, Ankara, Turkey.
Objectives: This study compared cognitive flexibility (CF) and emotion recognition (ER) in adolescents with eating disorders (ED) to a healthy group.
Methods: Forty healthy individuals aged 12-18 years with no psychiatric diagnosis and 46 patients diagnosed with anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), or binge eating disorder (BED) according to DSM-5 criteria participated. CF was assessed using the Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS), Stroop Test, and Berg Card Sorting Test (BCST), while ER was evaluated using the test of perception of affect via nonverbal cues.
The Protocol for the Multi-Ethnic, multi-centre raNdomised controlled trial of a low-energy Diet for improving functional status in heart failure with Preserved ejection fraction (AMEND Preserved).
BMJ Open
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Sciences, University of Leicester and the National Institute for Health Research Leicester Biomedical Research Centre, Glenfield Hospital, Leicester LE3 9QP, UK
Introduction: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterised by severe exercise intolerance, particularly in those living with obesity. Low-energy meal-replacement plans (MRPs) have shown significant weight loss and potential cardiac remodelling benefits. This pragmatic randomised trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of MRP-directed weight loss on exercise intolerance, symptoms, quality of life and cardiovascular remodelling in a multiethnic cohort with obesity and HFpEF.

Involuntary autobiographical memories as a transdiagnostic factor in mental disorders.
Clin Psychol Rev
January 2025
Center on Autobiographical Memory Research, Department of Psychology, Aarhus University, Denmark.
Involuntary autobiographical memories are memories of personal events that come to mind with no preceding retrieval attempts. They have been studied broadly in autobiographical memory for decades and shown to be common and mostly positive in everyday life. Clinical literature has focused on negative intrusive memories of stressful events and tended to neglect other forms of involuntary autobiographical memories.
