In particular, stigma towards individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) has received little empirical attention.Īnorexia nervosa is primarily characterized by a relentless pursuit of thinness resulting in weight loss substantially below a normal body weight that predominantly affects young women, with a lifetime prevalence rate of approximately 1.9% and an additional 2.4% who partially meet the criteria for the disorder. Until recently, mental illness stigma research has focused primarily on conditions such as schizophrenia and depression, to the neglect of other psychological disorders. Research investigating attitudes towards mental illness indicates that stigmatization is widespread. The findings provide insight into the elevated levels of stigmatizing attitudes held towards individuals with AN, and the role of Attribution Theory in partially accounting for this stigma. There were significant increases in stigmatization towards targets described as blameworthy relative to targets described as non-blameworthy.

Participants reported a significantly greater desire for social distance from the target with AN compared to targets with obesity or skin cancer, and yet (contrary to Attribution Theory) attributed less blame to the target with AN.

Before and after receiving blameworthy or non-blameworthy information relating to the target’s condition, participants completed a series of self-report inventories measuring their emotional reactions, desire for social distance, and causal attributions regarding the target. One hundred and thirty-five female undergraduate students were randomly assigned to one of three conditions. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and Eating Disorders Association.Guided by Attribution Theory, this study assessed stigmatizing attitudes towards an individual with anorexia nervosa (AN) compared to obesity and skin cancer, and examined the extent to which manipulating a target individual’s level of blameworthiness affects levels of stigmatizing attitudes. Discussion The clinician's challenge is to help eating disorders patients to develop an unyielding sense of responsibility and self‐acceptance, aimed to integrate the therapeutic choice into their own intrapersonal frame of goals. Character variables, as Responsibility, Integrity and Self‐acceptance were protective factors to be at Precontemplation stage. Results Scores on Precontemplation at the beginning were predictors for dropout at 2‐year follow‐up. Two years later, 102 patients continued on treatment. During the follow‐up period, patients were re‐assessed. The Attitudes towards Change in Eating Disorders questionnaire was used, and personality was evaluated using the Temperament and Character Inventory. A total of 151 patients completed the whole assessment with a set of questionnaires evaluating eating and general psychopathology.
