Abstract
The current study includes overweight and normal weight Binge-Eating Disorder (BED) and healthy controls (HCs) to assess the multifactorial construct of body image. Independent of weight status, women with BED significantly overvalue shape and weight and report significantly reduced weight satisfaction after a Body Comparison Task relative to HC groups.
