A sample of 4550 teenagers (2221 males and 2329 females) aged between 12,3 and 18,9 years (mean age = 14.49+/-3.8), was consecutively recruited taken from several secondary schools and high schools. The Pisa Survey for Eating Disorders (PSQ), a questionnaire aimed at evaluating both eating habits and self-perception of body image, was administered. Answers given to some items have highlighted a recurrence of cognitive distortions, an excessively rigid self-perception of body image as well as frequent, often daily, dysfunctional eating habits. The PSED questionnaire has proved itself to be a useful and easy-to-use tool. It helps to reveal maladjusted behavior and to evaluate probable risk factors connected with the development of eating and emotional disorders.

(1993) METHODS: 250 participants, inpatient and outpatient, suffering from acute or chronic back-pain have been consecutively recruited from various Italian physiotherapy and functional rehabilitation centres. All participants were administered FABQ and QUALEFFO, to evaluate if avoiding behaviors canprovoke disability independently from experimented pain. Varimax rotation, point out a 4 factor structure: "Prognosis", "Work as cause", "Damage Expectancy", "Physical activity as cause". Statistical analysis underlined a good internal consistency. A good criterion validity resulted from correlation between FABQ scoring and QUALEFFO. The sample was splitted in "avoiders" (A) and "confronters" (C). Group A had no significant correlation bet...
