  • Title: Perceptions and metaperceptions of same-sex social interactions in college women with disordered eating patterns.
    Author: Rofey D, Reede VK, Landsbaugh J, Corcoran KJ.
    Journal: Body Image; 2007 Mar; 4(1):61-8. PubMed ID: 18089252.
    Abstract:
    This study compared perceptions and metaperceptions after a social interaction between a woman with disordered eating (subclinical bulimia nervosa) and a female interaction partner. Hypotheses were: women with disordered eating would have more negative metaperceptions of social interactions than women without disordered eating, and women with disordered eating would show a greater discrepancy between metaperceptions and perceptions than women without disordered eating. All participants completed questionnaires about their perceptions and metaperceptions post-interaction. Results showed women with disordered eating thought that they had made a negative impression; findings addressing the relationships among social desirability, loneliness, social support utilization, and fear of negative evaluation are also discussed.
