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