✦ Synopsis

Two studies are described which investigated the relationship between disgust sensitivity and eating disorders. In a normal sample, Study 1 found a signi®cant correlation between measures of eating disorder and measures of disgust sensitivity, but only in female subjects. This relationship was not mediated by existing levels of anxiety or depression. Study 2 found that subjects who had clinically-diagnosed eating disorders exhibited signi®cantly higher levels of disgust than matched normal control subjects. Both studies indicated that elevated disgust in relation to eating disorders appeared to be con®ned primarily to disgust of food, the body and body products, and did not extend to disgusting stimuli which are not associated with food or the body. *
