Abstract

Introduction

It is well known that eating disorders (EDs) are related to intimacy difficulties and to previous adverse experiences; however, little is known about dating abuse and how this kind of abuse is related to the different facets of body investment and emotion regulation difficulties in EDs. This study aimed to evaluate the presence of dating abuse in ED outpatients and to evaluate the moderating role of difficulties in emotion regulation in the relationship between dating abuse and the different facets of body investment.

Method

Sixty-four ED outpatients (95.3% females; aged from 15 to 30 years) completed self-report measures regarding dating abuse, body investment, difficulties in emotion regulation, and ED symptoms.

Results

Approximately 89% of ED outpatients identified a current or past dating relationship. Of those, 51 (89.5%) reported at least one episode of dating abuse perpetration, and 52 (91.2%) reported at least one episode of dating abuse victimization. Emotional abuse was the most reported type of dating abuse. High levels of dating abuse were related to elevated body care in participants with more difficulties in emotion regulation. The remaining models, incorporating the other facets of body investment, did not show significant moderating effects.

Discussion

A substantial number of ED outpatients reported dating abuse. Pending longitudinal replication, body care may be used as a strategy to deal with dating abuse in the absence of more adaptive emotion regulation strategies.

情绪调节困难是约会虐待和饮食失调身体投资之间关系的调节因素吗？

众所周知，饮食失调(EDs)与亲密关系困难和以往的不良经历有关;然而，人们对约会虐待知之甚少，也不知道这种虐待如何与ed的身体投资和情绪调节困难的不同方面相关。本研究旨在评估急诊科门诊患者约会虐待的存在，并评估情绪调节困难在约会虐待与身体投资不同方面的关系中的调节作用。方法急诊门诊64例(女性95.3%;年龄在15至30岁之间)完成了关于约会虐待、身体投资、情绪调节困难和ED症状的自我报告测量。结果大约89%的急诊科门诊患者确定了当前或过去的约会关系。其中，51人(89.5%)报告了至少一次约会虐待的实施，52人(91.2%)报告了至少一次约会虐待的受害者。情感虐待是报告最多的约会虐待类型。高水平的约会虐待与情绪调节困难的参与者的身体护理水平升高有关。其余的模型，包括身体投资的其他方面，没有显示出显著的调节作用。相当数量的急诊科门诊病人报告了约会虐待。在纵向复制之前，身体护理可能被用作在缺乏更多适应性情绪调节策略的情况下处理约会虐待的策略。
