AB  - Empirical studies have identified emotional abuse in childhood (CEA) as a risk 
      factor with long-term implications for psychological problems. Indeed, recent 
      studies indicate it is more prevalent than behavioral forms of abuse, (i.e. 
      childhood sexual and physical abuse) and the childhood trauma most clearly 
      associated with subsequent eating pathology in adulthood. However, relatively 
      little is understood about the mechanisms linking these distal experiences. This 
      study explores three psychological mechanisms - self-criticism (SC), depression 
      and anxiety symptoms - as plausible mediators that may account for the 
      relationship between CEA and binge eating (BE) among adult women. Detailed 
      telephone interviews conducted with a community-based sample of 498 adult women 
      (mean age 44) assess BE, CEA and SC along with the most frequently researched 
      psychological variables, anxiety and depression. Regression analyses reveal that 
      BE is partially explained by CEA along with the three mediators. Bootstrapping 
      analysis, which compares multiple mediators within a single model using thousands 
      of repeated random sampling observations from the data set, reveals a striking 
      finding: SC is the only psychological variable that makes a significant 
      contribution to explaining BE severity. The unique role of punitive 
      self-evaluations vis-a-vis binge eating warrants additional research and, in the 
      interim, that clinicians consider broadening treatment interventions accordingly.
