N2 - Sixty-one subjects with bulimia nervosa completed a checklist of cues that might be expected to elicit symptoms. Principal components analysis revealed three components: 1) self-consciousness, 2) negative affect, and 3) “impulse” cues. Subjects with narcissistic personality characteristics reported responding more strongly to “self-consciousness” cues, while subjects with avoidant personality characteristics reported responding more strongly to “negative affect” cues. Subjects who were not abstinent at the end of group psychotherapy endorsed a greater number of cues in general and also responded to a greater number of the “impulse” cues.
