Answer to Question 1

The cognitive-behavioral model focuses on distorted cognitions about body shape, weight, eating, and personal control that lead to and maintain unhealthy eating and weight related behaviors. Proponents of the model emphasize the power of thoughts to influence feelings and behaviors in eating disorders. By contrast, sociocultural models emphasize the western cultural preoccupation with thinness as beauty. The sociocultural model traces exposure to the ideal of thinness, to internalization of this ideal, observation of a discrepancy between actual and ideal, body dissatisfaction, dietary restraint, and restriction.
