... Individuals high in neuroticism tend to experience more unpleasant emotions, anxiety, impulsiveness, and possess poor coping skills, which may lead to engagement in ED behaviours (Cervera et al., 2003;Garrido, Funes, Peñaloza Merlo, & Cupani, 2018;Ghaderi & Scott, 2000;Lilenfeld, Wonderlich, Riso, Crosby, & Mitchell, 2006). Furthermore, low self-esteem has continuously been found to contribute to the development of body dissatisfaction and is a strong predictor of ED attitudes and behaviours (e.g., food restraint and aversion, and a tendency to base one's worthiness on body shape; Alfoukha, Hamdan-Mansour, & Banihani, 2017;Etcoff, Orbach, Scott, & D'Agostino, 2004;Fairburn, Shafran, & Cooper, 1999;Gunnard et al., 2011;Izydorczyk, Sitnik-Warchulska, Lizińczyk, & Lipiarz, 2019;Kuck et al., 2021;Mantilla & Birgegård, 2015;Paterson, McKenzie, & Lindsay, 2011;Rodgers et al., 2020;Tiunova, 2015;Van den Berg et al., 2010). Thus, as FNE shares some characteristics of the facets of neuroticism (e.g., self-consciousness, anxiety, vulnerability; Hazel, Keaten, & Kelly, 2014;Levinson & Rodebaugh, 2011) and low selfesteem, FNE may be further strengthening the potentiality for ED development (Junghans-Rutelonis et al., 2015;Khanam and Mogha, 2012;Kocovski & Endler, 2000;Schmitz et al., 2003). ...
