There are constantly studies being completed about eating disorders. The information presented below is only a small amount of the current information being presented and researched.
The 2011 article entitled “The Other Side of Well-being--What Makes a Young Woman Become an Anorexic?” describes the narrative accounts of young women who were/are diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa and formulates a conclusion of the experience of an individual with Anorexia Nervosa based on their responses. This particular recent article suggests that researchers are not only looking at a genetic causes but an environmental ones as well (Savukoski, Määttä, & Uusiautti 2011).
Another article, published in 2012, entitled “Social Information-Processing and Coping in Adolescent Females Diagnosed With an Eating Disorder: Toward a Greater Understanding of Control”, is a study comparing asymptomatic control participants to participants receiving treatment for an eating disorder. The study measured emotional reaction, emotional intensity, and strategies used for coping. In result, researchers found that social cognitive processing biases and coping strategies could have a large effect on the development and maintenance of eating disorders (McFillin, Cahn, Burks, Levine, Loney, & Levine 2012).
Additionally, in the article entitled “New Solutions” by Amy Novotney, many new findings about eating disorders have been described such as the impact of genes, new means of treatment, and evidence based prevention (Novotney, 2009). Novotney explains how many misconceptions about eating disorders continue and in result, there are groups of people who are not diagnosed or receiving treatment.
