Spurious effects in random-intercept cross-lagged panel models: Results from simulations and reanalyses of data on self-esteem and problematic eating behaviors used by Beckers et al. (2023)

Published: Jan. 11, 2024

The random-intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) is an extension of the traditional model. In RI-CLPM, prospective effects are estimated within rather than between individuals. present simulations, we found that RI-CLPM susceptible to spurious findings when observed scores on two variables affected by common auto-correlated state factors. reanalyses empirical data, contradictory decreasing, increasing, and null within-individual levels self-esteem problematic eating behaviors among Dutch teenagers (N = 1856). These indicated previously reported probably were spurious. Caution advised using as it may produce misleading results. Researchers recommended validate alternative analyses, particularly examining person-mean centered scores.

Neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions in 600 Swedish Children with the ARFID phenotype

medRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: May 16, 2024

Abstract Objective Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a feeding and eating characterized by extremely restricted dietary variety and/or quantity resulting in serious consequences for physical health psychosocial functioning. ARFID often co-occurs with neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs) psychiatric conditions, but previous data are mostly limited to small clinical samples examining narrow range of conditions. Here, we examined NDCs large, population-based group children ARFID. Method In sample 30,795 born 1992–2008 Sweden, was assessed using parent reports diagnoses from national registers. Parents further reported symptoms at child age 9 or 12 years. We conducted regressions symptom scores screening (identified validated cut offs) on interactions sex. Results Children had significantly increased odds all 17 ratios ranging 3.3 visual hallucinations 13.7 autism (all p<.0001). The most common were oppositional defiant (19.4%), ADHD (16.9%), tic disorders (14.8%), (12.1%). Among separation anxiety (29.0%) sleep problems (20.0%) the highest prevalence. did not find any sex-specific differences co-occurring Conclusion This study highlights co-occurrence broad non-clinical cohort. Our findings underscore that face significant burden multiple co-existing which should be considered during assessment treatment.

In aqua veritas: Triangulation of cross-lagged effects for improved causal inference

Published: May 14, 2024

Objective: To show which adjusted cross-lagged and concurrent effects to expect from panel models in the case of true causal increasing decreasing effects.Design: Full factorial prospective situ experimental study.Setting: The first author’s kitchen.Participants: Twenty plastic cups.Main outcome measures: Total weight (i.e. including their content) cups before after adding or removing water to/from them. Results: We found amount added have: (1) A positive effect on subsequent total when adjusting for initial weight; (2) negative (3) - difference cups. Removing filled with had opposite effects.Conclusions: same combination signs as should be expected between studied constructs all areas research, such psychology. Estimation three these effects, instead only one, allows stronger inference about causality is recommended order triangulate scrutinize findings models.

The Role of Body Image Perception on a Continuum from Dysfunctional to Healthy Eating Attitudes and Behaviors Among People Seeking Treatment

Journal of Clinical Medicine, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(2), P. 597 - 597

Published: Jan. 17, 2025

Background: Body image disturbance has been associated with various health conditions and the potential to trigger development of unhealthy behaviors, including dysfunctional attitudes eating which may evolve into disorders. This study explores relationship between body variables-such as global self-worth, physical attractiveness-and continuum behaviors. Methods: A canonical correlation analysis was performed assess multivariate attitudinal perceptual variables a total 113 cases analyzed. Results: The findings indicate that intuitive positive (including self-worth attractiveness) are most strongly functional end continuum, while disordered behaviors dissatisfaction linked end. Conclusions: These results suggest interventions targeting emotional dimensions dissatisfaction, whether delivered in vivo or via virtual reality (e.g., weight exposure), facilitate shift toward healthier, more along continuum.

Meta-analytic prospective associations between self-esteem and eating disorders appear to be spurious: a reanalysis and comment on Krauss et al. (2023)

Frontiers in Psychology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16

Published: Feb. 7, 2025

In a recent meta-analysis, Krauss et al. found support for reciprocal model of low self-esteem and eating disorders where, in vicious circle, makes people more vulnerable to developing disorders, turn, scars individuals' self-esteem. However, the present reanalyses same meta-analytic data, we that prospective effects between are likely spurious, meaning they do not reflect true causal effect, but rather correlations with residuals regression mean. Consequently, claims by can be challenged. To avoid statistical artifacts, recommend researchers fit, as did study, complementary models their data order evaluate if may genuinely increasing or decreasing appear spurious.

Eating Disorders (EDs) and related symptoms pose a substantial public health concern due to their widespread prevalence among both genders associated negative outcomes, underscoring the need for effective preventive interventions. In this context, deepening our understanding of interplay between ED protective factors appears crucial. Therefore, study employed structural network analysis approach considering symptom dimensions (i.e., drive thinness, bulimic symptoms, body dissatisfaction) functionality appreciation, intuitive eating, self-esteem) shed light on how these are interrelated. A community sample 1391 individuals (34.4% men; Mage = 26.4 years) completed socio-demographic schedule self-report questionnaires. The showed that nodes with highest positive expected influence were while those eating physical rather than emotional reasons unconditional permission eat two components eating). Crucially, most relevant bridges conceptual communities "ED dimensions" "Protective factors" relations (a) (b) (c) appreciation dissatisfaction. Finally, age, gender, mass index did not moderate any edge in network. practical implications findings discussed, especially terms interventions symptoms.
