Abstract
This study examined whether elevations on four variables (drive for thinness, depressed mood, maladaptive cognitions, and ineffectiveness) were related to increased severity of eating disorder symptoms over a 4-year prospective interval in a sample of female undergraduates ( N=80). Results indicated that initial scores on the four variables were related to severity of anorexic and bulimic symptoms 4 years later. Examination of each variable individually indicated that anorexia and bulimia may have different risk pathways, and that initial maladaptive cognitions and drive for thinness scores were more related to later eating disorder symptoms than were depressed mood or ineffectiveness.
