Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

People with bulimia nervosa share some personality features with those who have anorexia nervosa, primarily perfectionism and low self-esteem, but differences also exist. Unlike the classic restricting subtype of anorexia nervosa, people with bulimia tend to be more impulsive and have higher novelty-seeking behavior. These different personality traits are intriguing and reflect the symptom profiles of the disorders. Individuals with the restricting subtype of anorexia nervosa display more rigid and obsessional personalities-congruent with their rigid eating patterns. By contrast, those with bulimia nervosa exhibit more erratic and impulsive traits-consistent with the impulsive and fluctuating nature of alternating starving, binge eating, and compensatory behaviors.
