Objectives: The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral training on the body image of women with eating disorder symptoms.
Method: The research method was semi-experimental (pre-test-post-test design with an unequal control group). The statistical population of the research included all women with eating symptoms who were referred to nutritional clinics, psychotherapy centers, and fitness and aerobics clubs in Kashan City in 2021. Among them, 20 people were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned into two control and experimental groups. The measurement tool included the satisfaction with body image questionnaire (2002). The experimental group was exposed to 10 sessions of cognitive behavioral training, and during this time, the control group was placed on the waiting list. Multivariate and one-way analysis of covariance was used for data analysis by SPSS software version 22.
Results: The results showed a significant difference in the linear combination of body image scores of women with symptoms of eating disorders and food between groups.
Conclusion: According to the results, the body satisfaction scores of the experimental group increased in the post-test compared to the control group. Also, the scores of dissatisfaction with body image have decreased in this group. In conclusion, the change in scores indicates the positive effect of cognitive behavioral training.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential roles of emotion control strategies and social anxiety in explaining and predicting eating disorder symptoms. Method: The statistical population included all students of the Mohaghegh Ardabili University, studying in the 2015/2016 academic year. Data on social anxiety, emotion control, and eating disorder symptoms were collected from 190 students of Mohaghegh Ardebili University, using the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), Eating Attitude Test - 26 (EAT-26), and Emotion Control Questionnaire - 2 (ECQ-2). Pearson’s correlation coefficient statistical method and stepwise regression were applied. Results: Rehearsal and benign control (subscales of emotion control questionnaire) positively correlated with all three subscales of social anxiety (fear, avoidance, and physiological arousal). Among different subscales of social anxiety, only avoidance could predict dieting and oral control. Among different subscales of eating disorder test, benign control was the only subscale of emotion control questionnaire that could predict bulimia and food preoccupation. Discussion: This study suggests that social anxiety and emotion control are, to some extent, related and can partially predict eating disorder symptoms.
