Sleep Quality and Eating Disorder-Related Psychopathologies in Patients with Night Eating Syndrome and Binge Eating Disorders.

Night eating syndrome (NES) is an eating disorder (ED) characterized by nocturnal ingestion (NI), evening hyperphagia, morning anorexia, as well as mood and sleep disturbances. This study compared subjective and objective sleep quality and ED-related psychopathologies in patients seeking treatment for ED. Method: The sample was composed of 170 women, aged 18-68, who were referred for an ED assessment from 2011 to 2020.

Dietary patterns of patients with binge eating disorders with and without night eating.

Objective: This study aimed to compare dietary patterns (timing and frequency of binge episodes, caloric intake and macronutrient composition) of patients with binge eating disorders (BE) with and without night eating syndrome (NES).

Design: The study includes 59 women (18-60) who sought treatment for Eating Disorders (EDs) and were diagnosed with BED or BN (BE) with or without NES. They were divided into two groups: NES-BE and BE-only.

Negative Stereotypes of Ethnic Out-groups: A Longitudinal Examination Among Palestinian, Israeli Jewish, and Israeli Arab Youth.

Ethno-political conflict impacts thousands of youth globally and has been associated with a number of negative psychological outcomes. Extant literature has mostly addressed the adverse emotional and behavioral outcomes of exposure while failing to examine change over time in social-cognitive factors in contexts of ethno-political conflict. Using cohort-sequential longitudinal data, the present study examines ethnic variation in the development of negative stereotypes about ethnic out-groups among Palestinian (=600), Israeli Jewish (=451), and Israeli Arab (=450) youth over three years.

Reliability and cross-validation of the Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ): Hebrew version.

Background: Several developments in diagnosing night eating syndrome (NES) occurred during the last decade. New proposed diagnostic criteria are now available, and a short Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ) was published. The study aims were to validate the NEQ for assessing NES, to identify the optimal NEQ cut-point for NES diagnosis, and to validate and test the internal reliability of the translated Hebrew version of the NEQ.
