Abstract: Despite revisions to the DSM-5, current diagnostic criteria poorly capture the phenomena of eating disorders. The construct of food craving may help to explain the range of disordered eating and compensatory behaviors, but current measures do not fully capture the construct. Borrowing from the substance use literature and emphasizing both approach and avoidance craving inclinations, the ambivalence model of craving (AMC) provides a useful framework for predicting broad patterns of disordered eating behaviors. This study sought to develop and preliminarily validate a multidimensional AMC-based measure of food craving. Items for the Food Approach and Avoidance Questionnaire were generated and development and validation data were collected via online survey from community-based adults and university students (N = 1,070). Exploratory factor and item response theory analyses were used for measure development. Linear regressions were used to examine convergent and discriminant validity. Exploratory sensitivity analyses included logistic regressions and receiver operating characteristic curves. As hypothesized, a 2-factor measure was supported. No sex differences emerged in item functioning. The approach factor was associated with greater trait food craving, more uncontrolled eating, and greater likelihood of meeting self-reported diagnostic criteria for bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. The avoidance factor was associated with higher levels of restrained eating, drive for thinness, and an increased likelihood of meeting self-reported diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Preliminary data support a new multidimensional measure of approach and avoidance food craving with potential for a transdiagnostic conceptualization of disordered eating and compensatory behaviors.

TL;DR: The Physical Effort Scale is a valid and reliable measure of individual differences in the valuation of physical effort and can assess the propensity to engage in physically demanding tasks in non-clinical populations.

Support for a two-dimensional model of food craving using self-report questionnaire and cue-reactivity methodologies.
TL;DR: Evidence supports the transdiagnostic importance of food cravings across the spectrum of disordered eating behaviors and highlights the importance of including an avoidance dimension of food craving and have important implications for disordered Eating Prevention and intervention work.

Risk factors for eating disorders.
TL;DR: The authors illustrate how studies of sociocultural risk factors and biological factors have progressed on parallel tracks and propose that major advances in understanding the etiology of eating disorders require a new generation of studies that integrate these domains.

Dieting and Disordered Eating Behaviors from Adolescence to Young Adulthood: Findings from a 10-Year Longitudinal Study
TL;DR: Study findings indicate that disordered eating behaviors are not just an adolescent problem, but continue to be prevalent among young adults and suggest a need for both early prevention efforts before the onset of harmful behavioral patterns.

TL;DR: Women significantly more likely than men to report body checking and avoidance, binge eating, fasting, and vomiting, effect sizes were small to moderate and suggest that a substantial minority of men also report eating disorder symptoms.
