Hypotheses
We had two competing hypotheses. One hypothesis was that
given widespread impairments in other social cognitive domains
(e.g. emotion recognition and ToM) and the relevance of these
skills for decoding social situations, individuals with AN would
perform poorly on the IPT-15 overall and on all subscales
compared to HC. As previous research in BN states, at least some
aspects of SC remain intact (namely ToM), we hypothesise that
BN participant performance would fall intermediate between AN
and HC
