| Abstract: | This study tested the hypothesis that restrained eaters tend to hold rigid, absolute, ‘irrational’ beliefs. It also examined the relations of the two subscales of the Revised Restraint Scale (RRS), Concern with Dieting (CD) and Weight Fluctuation (WF), with irrational beliefs. Female college students completed the RRS, the Rational Beliefs Inventory (RBI), which measures (ir)rationality, and the Cognitive Bias Questionnaire (CBQ) which assesses depressive distortions. The RRS (P = 0.013) and CD (P < 0.001) scale were both significantly correlated with the RBI while the WF scale was not. Neither the RRS, CD or WF scales was significantly related to depressive distortions. These findings indicate that restrained eaters are prone to rigid, absolute beliefs. Their tendency to hold maladaptive cognitions is not pervasive however, as they showed no evidence of depressive distortions. The results also indicate that the CD factor of restraint is more closely related than the WF factor to responses thought to characterize restrained eaters. |
