Abstract :
This study aimed to investigate the role of depression and body dysmorphic metacognition components in eating disorders. This research method was descriptive- correlational. 324 girls students in Lorestan high school province were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. The participants completed the Eating Attitudes Test (Garner, Olmsted, Bohr & Garfinkel, 1982), the Body Dysmorphic Metacognition Questionnaire (Rabiei, Salahian, Bahrami & Palahang, 2011), and the Child Depression Inventory (Kovacs & Beck, 1977). The Pearson Correlation and Concurrent Regression were used for analysis. The results showed that the components of depression (negative mood, interpersonal problems, ineffectiveness, anhedonia, and negative self-esteem) and the components of body dysmorphic metacognition (metacognitive control, thought-action fusion, metacognitive negative and positive beliefs, and safety behaviors) had a significant and positive relationship with an eating disorder. In addition, the results of regression analysis showed that negative mood, negative self-esteem, and metacognitive control could predict eating disorders. Based on findings considering the components of depression and body dysmorphic metacognition may have an important clinical role in the processes of prevention and treatment of the eating disorder.
