Abstract: | |||||
The thesis focused on binge-eating and consisted ofa review ofthe existing literature and an
original research project. The literature regarding the role ofnegative emotions as antecedents to
binge-eating was reviewed. Although there is agreement that negative emotions are important
precipitants of binge-eating, the research in this area is characterised by methodological
limitations. Further research is needed that addresses the issues ofvalidity with different types of
populations who engage in binge-eating before conclusions can be drawn.
The empirical paper examined the relationship between coping style and perfectionism in binge eaters
ofabove average weight and comparison women, using self-report questionnaires. Bingeeaters
had higher scores than non binge-eaters on some dimensions ofperfectionism
