Eating disorders are serious psychiatric illnesses that are associated with excess morbidity and mortality as well as high costs to society. A better understanding of risk and maintenance factors that are both shared across psychiatric disorders and that are unique to eating disorders and their component symptoms can help advance prevention and treatment. My program of research aims to: 1) elucidate the biobehavioural mechanisms that underlie transdiagnostic risk factors and their relation to eating disorders, and 2) identify symptom-specific disease processes that influence the expression of psychopathology in the context of transdiagnostic risk factors. In this talk, I will review a series of studies using multiple methodologies (i.e., prospective longitudinal designs, behaviour genetic methods, psychophysiology paradigms) to consider emotion regulation as a key transdiagnostic process involved in the etiology and maintenance of eating disorders. I also will present findings indicating that eating disorder-specific risk factors (e.g., sociocultural appearance pressures) interact with emotion regulation to lead to eating disorder symptoms, but not symptoms of other psychiatric disorders. Finally, I will discuss future research directions that relate to expanding this transdiagnostic framework to include other forms of psychopathology and that will inform the development of mechanistically-based treatments. ___________________________________ Mehrgol Tiv Ph.D. Student, Psychology, McGill University Language and Multilingualism Lab *mehrgoltiv.comhttp://mehrgoltiv.com
