The role of global Negative Self-Evaluations in the influence of body weight on weight and eating concerns
Eating and Weight Disorders - Studies on Anorexia Bulimia and Obesity, 2001Co-Authors: Bjørn LauAbstract:The aim of this study was to test a model based on the assumption that a social comparison-process of body mass index could lead to weight and eating concerns by lowering self-evaluation. Three hundred and ninety-five girls from five age cohorts (in grades five through nine at the time of data collection) participated in a questionnaire-based study. Support for a model where global Negative Self-Evaluations played a mediating role was found among the oldest girls who perceived slimness norms among their peers. Among girls not perceiving a norm of thinness, and among younger girls perceiving such a norm, the model found no support. The proposed model gives an explanation of how the dynamic process of social norms of thinness, body weight and self-evaluation, can cause some girls to become concerned about their body weight.

Global Negative Self-Evaluations, weight and eating concerns and depressive symptoms: A prospective study of adolescents
Eating and Weight Disorders - Studies on Anorexia Bulimia and Obesity, 2000Co-Authors: Bjørn LauAbstract:A longitudinal study with four sequential cohorts of girls and boys in early to mid-adolescence (n=607) was used to assess adolescent changes in global Negative self-evaluation, depressive symptoms and weight and eating concerns. The effects of these areas on one another over time were also assessed. Over the six months between the two data collection times, both the girls and the boys experienced an improvement in depressive symptoms, while the boys also experienced a decrease in weight concerns. The results indicated that global Negative Self-Evaluations could predict weight and eating concerns in boys and girls, while weight concerns could predict depressive symptoms in girls. These results are of particular interest, since these relationships have not been previously examined in a longitudinal study.

linking stigma to psychological distress testing a social cognitive model of the experience of people with intellectual disabilities
Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy, 2004Co-Authors: Dave Dagnan, Martina WaringAbstract:In this study we explore the link between the social experience of people with intellectual disabilities and core cognitive process that have previously been shown to be related to a range of psychological disorders. Thirty-nine people with intellectual disabilities completed self-report scales measuring the perception of stigma, core Negative evaluations and social comparison. Correlation analysis suggests that core Negative evaluative beliefs about the self are positively associated with the experience of feeling different: a process that could be described as internalizing the experienced stigma. Relationships were also found between Negative Self-Evaluations and the social attractiveness dimension of the social comparison scale. Using regression techniques stigma was found to have an impact on social comparison processes that was mediated by evaluative beliefs. These findings support a social–cognitive view of the importance of the social world to people with an intellectual disability, and the psychological damage that stigmatization can cause. We discuss interventions that integrate both social and cognitive domains. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Self-esteem and binge eating: Do patients with binge eating disorder endorse more Negatively worded items of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale?
Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2020Co-Authors: Gianluca Lo Coco, Laura Salerno, Sonia Ingoglia, Giorgio A. TascaAbstract:OBJECTIVE Self-esteem is a core aspect of eating disorder symptomatology. This study aims to examine whether method effects associated with Negatively worded items of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) may interact the Negative Self-Evaluations experienced by patients with obesity and binge eating disorder (BED). We also examined whether Negatively worded items were associated with psychological distress and eating symptoms. METHOD Five hundred thirty three female outpatients (mean age: 42.59) with BED (n = 160) or obesity without BED (n = 373) completed the RSES and measures of interpersonal problems, psychological distress, and eating symptoms. RESULTS Patients with BED responded more strongly to the Negatively worded items of the RSES than those with obesity. The RSES Negatively worded item factor was Negatively associated with higher interpersonal problems, psychological distress, and binge eating. CONCLUSIONS Patients with BED may be more responsive to Negatively phrased items on the RSES consistent with their Negative Self-Evaluations and self-perceptions.

Type A and Self-Evaluations: A social comparison perspective
Personality and Individual Differences, 1992Co-Authors: Sandra A. Yuen, Nicholas A. KuiperAbstract:Abstract This paper provides an overview of several recent Type A models that focus on Negative Self-Evaluations as a prominent characteristic underlying the Type A pattern. Following a presentation of these models, it is proposed that Type A individuals may use maladaptive social comparison strategies that contribute to their Negative Self-Evaluations and Negative affect. In particular, a self-worth contingency model of Type A is integrated with the social comparison literature to provide a framework for detailing aberrant social comparison processes. Using this model, it is proposed that the dysfunctional contingencies of self-worth endorsed by Type A individuals, along with their Negative self-schemata, may help regulate and guide their maladaptive social comparison strategies. Finally, several of the more general implications of aberrant social comparison strategies are described. These include Type A interpersonal and social concerns, coping difficulties, and assessment and intervention issues.
