Abstract

This research examined the relations between aspects of self-concept and various stages of eating disorder recovery. Individuals formerly seen for an eating disorder at a Midwestern clinic were categorized as having an active eating disorder (n = 53) or as partially recovered (n = 15) or as fully recovered (n = 20) using a comprehensive recovery definition whereby full recovery included physical, behavioral, and psychological recovery and partial recovery included only physical and behavioral recovery. The self-concepts of these groups were compared to each other and to 67 controls. The fully recovered group had higher self-esteem, higher self-directedness, and lower levels of the imposter phenomenon than individuals who were partially recovered or those who met criteria for an eating disorder, as well as higher self-efficacy than the active eating disorder group. Fully recovered individuals also looked better in terms of specific domains of self-concept (e.g., intimacy, sociability, etc.) when compared to the active eating disorder group. Results provide evidence that fully recovered individuals were comparable to controls on all measures of self-concept. Partially recovered individuals, however, were more similar to active eating disorder cases, suggesting that improved self-concept may be an integral part of full eating disorder recovery. Additionally, these results provide further support for a more comprehensive definition of recovery which acknowledges the psychological aspects of an eating disorder.

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.
