Table 4. “Equal-to-own-size” responses made by anorexia nervosa patients and control healthy participants after left- and right-hand activation.

	Thinner (False)	REAL	Fatter (False)
Anorexia Nervosa Group
LH (right hand)	.10b (.12)	.73 (.17)	.24b (.25)
RH (left hand)	.08 (.13)	.73 (.22)	.18 (.23)
Control Group
LH (right hand)	.13 (.19)	.80 (.20)	.19 (.21)
RH (left hand)	.08 (.16)	.80 (.22)	.16 (.20)

Mean proportions (sd in parentheses) of “equal-to-own-size” responses to actual body size pictures (0% distortion) made by anorexia nervosa and control healthy participants for negative self-related primes as a function of Left- and Right-Hand Activation Condition.

Note: Responses to actual body picture as REAL differ significantly from those classified as thinner or fatter than the real body (p < .001). For anorexic patients thinner versus fatter responses differed after LH activation (Subscript b: p < .05), however, they did not differ significantly after RH activation. Thinner versus fatter responses did not differ significantly in either activation condition of the control group.
