Family relationships, interpersonal relations, coping strategies, and stressful behavioral response patterns of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa individuals

A booklet was completed by 7 anorexia nervosa patients, 12 bulimia nervosa patients, and 19 non-clinical individuals. The research instrument was designed to measure transgenerational family processes, interpersonal relations orientations, coping strategies, and stressful behavioral response patterns of anorexics and bulimics. Separate multivariate analysis of variance procedures were performed on the aforementioned variables to determine significant differences among the groups. The findings indicated that significant differences existed among the groups in regards to transgenerational family processes (F = .000), interpersonal relations orientations (F = .014), and coping strategies (F = .003).
