Symposium: Emotions and Cognitive Processes in Individuals with Disordered Eating
Aims of the symposium It is well known that affective processes have an effect on social and fundamental cognitive processes. Strikingly, despite biological and psycho-social models of disorded eating placing disturbed affective and emotion processes at the core of Eating Disorders (ED) at both sides of the weight spectrum (i.e. Anorexia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorder), very few studies have investigated the effect of affect and emotions on cognitive processes such as executive functioning and body image in ED. In this symposium we will discuss the effect of two main affective symptomologies, i.e. anxiety and depression, on cognitive processes in individuals with disordered eating.
