Note. We examined whether the impact of fear of weight gain on contemporaneous emotions, cognitions, and ED behaviors varies by ED diagnosis (i.e., AN vs. other ED). In Model 1, we examined the impact of fear of weight gain on concurrent emotions, cognitions, and ED behaviors and whether the effects varied by AN vs. other ED participants. In Model 2, we examined the temporal impact of fear of weight gain on emotions, cognitions, and ED behaviors at the next meal and whether the effects varied by AN vs. other ED participants.
