AI Article Synopsis
- Eating disorders (EDs) are becoming a significant global health issue, and this study explores how psychological traits, like perfectionism and anxiety sensitivity, alongside sociocultural factors like body dissatisfaction, impact the risk and resilience associated with EDs.
- The research involved 698 undergraduate students who completed an online survey measuring their perfectionism, emotion regulation, anxiety sensitivity, body image issues, and eating behaviors.
- Results indicated that certain psychological factors, such as self-oriented perfectionism and emotional dysregulation, increased the likelihood of disordered eating behaviors, while other traits, like emotional clarity, offered protective effects, highlighting the complexity of risk and resilience pathways related to eating disorders.
Article Abstract
Objective: Eating disorders (EDs) represent a rising global health concern. The current study takes a multivariate approach to examine psychological (i.e., perfectionism, anxiety sensitivity [AS], emotion dysregulation) and sociocultural factors (i.e., body dissatisfaction) that may relate to risk and resilience in EDs.
Methods: Participants were 698 undergraduate students (M = 21, SD = 4.02), mainly female (71%) and Hispanic (61.6%), who participated in an online survey assessing perfectionism, emotion dysregulation, AS, body dissatisfaction, and eating behaviors.
Results: The results from structural equation model analyses revealed differential associations with disordered eating (DE) outcomes. Self-oriented perfectionism and dysmorphic appearance concerns were associated with increased dieting/carb restriction, desire for thinness, and binging tendencies. Specifically, emotional nonacceptance and lack of emotional awareness showed associations with elevated risk for dieting/carb restriction and purging tendencies, respectively. Conversely, lack of emotional clarity showed a protective pathway to these risk behaviors. Anxiety sensitivity cognitive concerns related to higher purging tendencies, while AS social concerns related to lower purging and binging tendencies.
Discussion: Findings highlight the differential pathways of psychosocial risk and resilience for EDs. Subscales of emotional dysregulation and AS showed risk as well as resilience associations with DE outcomes. This information is key for advancing transdiagnostic prevention and intervention to reduce the rising rates of EDs.

Department of Clinical Nutrition, School of Medicine, Chongqing University Cancer Hospital, Chongqing University, Chongqing, China.
Background: Nurses serving in infectious disease ward represent a distinct occupational group that has attracted considerable attention following epidemic outbreaks. However, prior to this study, no research had delved into the underlying mechanism linking anxiety to burnout symptoms among infectious disease nurses. This study aimed to explore investigate the association between anxiety and burnout among nurses working in such environments and scrutinized the mediating role of perceived stress and the moderating influence of resilience on the principal relationship.

To enhance sustainability and resilience against climate change in infrastructure, a quantitative evaluation of both environmental impact and cost is important within a life cycle framework. Climate change effects can lead performance deterioration in bridge components during their operational phase, highlighting the necessity for a risk-based evaluation process aligned with maintenance strategies. This study employs a two-phase life cycle assessments (LCA) framework.

Agricultural management significantly affects insects, especially pollinators, which are crucial for crop pollination and biodiversity. In agricultural landscapes, various factors spanning different spatial scales are known to affect pollinator health, which, in turn, can influence pollination services. However, the importance of these factors in driving the health and performance of different pollinator groups remains unclear.

Aim: To explore the effect of violence exposure on altruistic behavior and grit among emergency nurses in 103-bed emergency departments in rural hospitals in Egypt.
Background: Workplace violence is a pervasive issue in emergency departments. Nurses in rural hospitals, facing limited resources and isolation, may be even more vulnerable to the adverse effects of workplace violence.
Racial Trauma and Black Mothers' Mental Health: Does Cognitive Flexibility Buffer the Effects of Racialized Stress?
J Racial Ethn Health Disparities

Department of Biobehavioral Health, The Pennsylvania State University, 219 Biobehavioral Health Bldg, University Park, PA, 16802, USA.
Racialized stress disproportionately impacts Black individuals and confers increased risk for psychological distress and executive dysfunction. However, there is little evidence on psychological distress' association with cognitive flexibility (CF), an executive function theorized to be a neurocognitive resilience factor, as it is shown to reflect the ability to adapt thoughts/behaviors to changing environmental stimuli. As such, we aimed to examine the relation between racialized stress and psychological distress and the potential buffering effects of CF.
