Abstract

Social and emotional problems have been implicated in the development and maintenance of eating disorders (ED). This paper reviews the facets of social processing in ED according to the NIMH Research and Domain Criteria (NIMH RDoC) 'Systems for Social Processes' framework. Embase, Medline, PsycInfo and Web of Science were searched for peer-reviewed articles published by March 2013. One-hundred and fifty four studies measuring constructs of: attachment, social communication, perception and understanding of self and others, and social dominance in people with ED, were identified. Eleven meta-analyses were performed, they showed evidence that people with ED had attachment insecurity (d=1.31), perceived low parental care (d=.51), appraised high parental overprotection (d=0.29), impaired facial emotion recognition (d=.44) and facial communication (d=2.10), increased facial avoidance (d=.52), reduced agency (d=.39), negative self-evaluation (d=2.27), alexithymia (d=.66), poor understanding of mental states (d=1.07) and sensitivity to social dominance (d=1.08). There is less evidence for problems with production and reception of non-facial communication, animacy and action.

  • People with eating disorders, depression, schizophrenia, and autism spectrum disorders have similar difficulties in accurate interpretation of emotions, including recognition of basic emotions in faces and tone of voice with small effect sizes and in emotional theory of mind with medium to large effect sizes.

    “Meta-analyses have found that people with eating disorders (EDs), depression, schizophrenia, and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have similar difficulties in accurate interpretation of emotions, including recognition of basic emotions in faces and tone of voice with small effect sizes and in emotional theory of mind with medium to large effect sizes (Bora and Berk, 2016;Bora and Köse, 2016;Caglar-”
  • Current models recognize the importance of social and emotional difficulties in the development, maintenance, and recovery from eating disorders.

    “Beyond reward difficulties in relation to food, current models also recognize the importance of social and emotional difficulties in the development, maintenance, and recovery from eating disorders (91, 92).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
