30.11.14 Structure

Before I start writing up my EPQ I needed to think of how to structure it. After thinking about this I have come up with this structure:

1. Introduction 
2. Anorexia Nervosa
3. Bulimia Nervosa
4. Excessive Exercise Disorder
5. Obesity
6. Nature Argument
7. Nurture Argument
8. Primary Research 
9. Results from Primary Research
10. Conclusion from Primary Research
11. Overall Conclusion 

25.11.14 Starting the Write Up

I have started to collate all my research together and to determine which pages from each book will be useful with each part of the research. This process can be shown below:

Though this could be construed as disorganised and messy it seems to work for me and so I think that is the most important factor. These pages numbers are then highlighted in the book using Post-it notes and then the important section is either highlighted or underlined:

20.11.14 Lack of Posts

Apologies for the lack of posting, but I have been unable to make more progress with the project as my other subjects have been all-consuming however I hope to get back on track this week.

01.11.14 Journals

Although I feel as though the books I have read will adequately aid me with my EPQ I have also decided to look at some journals to see what other research has occurred in the field that I can include when writing up my EPQ.

These are ones I found of interest to me:

1. The Eating Disorder Examination: A semi-structured interview for the assessment of the Specific Psychopathology of Eating Disorders by Zafra Cooper, D
2.  The Attractive Female Body Weight And Female Body Dissatisfaction In 26 Countries Across 10 World Regions by Swami, V. et al. 
3. Exacting Beauty: Theory, Assessment, and Treatment of Body Image Disturbance by Thompson, J. Kevin et al.
4. Personality Variables and Disorders in Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa by Vitousek, Kelly and Manke, Frederic
5. Eating And Body Image Disturbances Across Cultures: A Review by Soh, Nerissa L., Stephen W. Touyz, and Lois J. Surgenor. 

I have yet to determine which I will actually refer to in my write-up
