Warren [33] found that problems with emotion regulation
improved with weight restoration in AN through a specialized
day treatment program that included two hours of
dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) skills training per
week. However, because the treatment program in this
study included DBT skills training, which is an empirically
supported intervention for problems with emotion regulation,
it is unknown whether the improvements in emotion
regulation were related to skills training or to weight restoration.
In addition, while Haynos and colleagues [31]
studied a sample of individuals who were all diagnosed with
AN, Ben-Porath and colleagues [33] recruited a mixed sample
of individuals diagnosed with either AN (~35 %) or BN
(~65 %). As such, participants in Ben-Porath study had a
greater mean admission BMI than participants in Haynos
and colleagues’ [31] study, and not all participants in the
former study were underweight, making it difficult to compare
findings across the studies. Overall, however, it is clear
that there is a lack of research with respect to the relationship
between weight restoration, improvements eating disorder
psychopathology, and changes in emotion regulation
difficulties. As such, additional research on this topic is necessary
in order to elucidate and clarify the nature of these
relationships. In support of this, recently psychological science
has shown a renewed interest in the area of study replication
[34]. Indeed, researchers have coined replication
“the cornerstone of science” [35], highlighting its importance
in determining whether any given finding is a false
positive or the result of sampling error or non-generalizable
sample specific features [34, 35]. Thus, the current study
aimed to replicate and extend research on difficulties with
emotion regulation in AN.
