Abstract:
In this study, we compare levels of weighing anxiety in normal-weight women who show disordered eating behaviours and who were exposed to open and blind weighing. Participants who were open weighed felt increasingly anxious over time, whereas participants who were blind weighed felt less anxious. Both groups experienced increased weight preoccupation and disordered eating behaviours on weighing days compared to non-weighing days.
