Abstract

Abstract Body checking, characterized by the repeated visual or physical inspection of particular parts of one’s own body (e.g. thighs, waist, or upper arms) is one of the most prominent behaviors associated with eating disorders, particularly Anorexia Nervosa (AN). In this paper, we explore the explanatory potential of the Recalcitrant Fear Model of AN (RFM) in relation to body checking. We argue that RFM, when combined with certain plausible auxiliary hypotheses about the cognitive and epistemic roles of emotions, is able to explain key characteristics of body checking, including how body checking behavior becomes habitual and compulsive.

神经性厌食症的身体检查:从询问到习惯

身体检查，其特征是对自己身体的特定部位(如大腿、腰部或上臂)进行反复的视觉或身体检查，是与饮食失调，特别是神经性厌食症(AN)相关的最突出的行为之一。在本文中，我们探讨了AN的顽固性恐惧模型(RFM)在身体检查方面的解释潜力。我们认为，当RFM与某些关于情绪认知和认知作用的貌似合理的辅助假设相结合时，能够解释身体检查的关键特征，包括身体检查行为如何成为习惯性和强迫性的。
