Generalized network psychometrics of eating-disorder psychopathology.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

As network models of eating disorder (ED) psychopathology become increasingly popular in modeling symptom interconnectedness and identifying potential treatment targets, it is necessary to contextualize their performance against other methods of modeling ED psychopathology and to evaluate potential ways to optimize and capitalize on their use. To accomplish these goals, we used generalized network psychometrics to estimate and compare latent variable models and network models, as well as hybrid models.

Method

We tested the structure of the Eating Pathology Symptoms Inventory (EPSI) and Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) in Recovery Record, Inc. mobile phone application users (N = 6856).

Results

Although all models fit well, results favored a h
