Theoretical Framework
This study is based on an eating disorder (Anorexia nervosa) and how it affects students'
academic performance, which is a type of approach to cognitive-behavioral learning theory that
focuses on the idea that all behaviors are learned through interaction with the environment. This
learning theory states that behaviors are learned from the environment and says that innate or
inherited factors have very little influence on behavior. In addition, it contains an approach to
psychology that attempts to explain human behavior by understanding thought processes—a
scientific study of the mind as an information processor that focuses on how researchers take in
information from the outside world and make sense of that information.
Furthermore, researchers can determine how eating disorders (Anorexia nervosa) affect
students' academic performance by studying observations, data, and problems that are supported
by cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that was developed by Aaron Beck. This theory has been
extensively researched and found to be effective in a large number of outcome studies for
psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, substance abuse,
and personality disorders. CBT has been adapted and studied for children, adolescents, adults,
couples, and families. This activity reviews the efficacy of CBT in both psychiatric and non-
psychiatric disorders and the role of the interprofessional team in using it to improve patient
outcomes (Aaron Beck, 1960).
According to Yeager et al. (2017), personality theories influence or change stress, health,
and achievement during adolescence. Under Carol Dweck's Implicit Theories of Intelligence,
they discussed theories of personalities such the entity theory of personality and the incremental
theory of personality. In this paper, they carried out three investigations on the aforementioned
theories and split their samples into two groups: incremental theory and entity theory.
The notion that personality is fixed is emphasized by the entity theory of personality. An
entity hypothesis may have an impact on general stress, health, and performance. (Yeager, 2017).
This leads people to attribute social difficulties to both their own and other people's
characteristics, and it forecasts more intense affective, physiological, and behavioral responses.
(e.g., depression, aggression). The incremental view, on the other hand, contends that people
have the capacity to alter their socially significant characteristics.
Students in the ninth grade made up the entity theory group, and they were observed for
one month. As a result of the students' increased stress, worse health, and decreased academic
performance, the researchers' study anticipated more adverse instant reactions to social hardship.
The incremental theory group, on the other hand, showed fewer negative instant reactions to
social hardship, which eventually led to a decline in overall stress, physical illness, and improved
academic achievement over the course of the year. Both the entity theory and the incremental
theory apply to this study since they show how a student's actions, personality, or habits in a
particular scenario may have an impact on both their health and their academic achievement.
This study is anchored to the study of Sharon L. Hoerr, RD, PhD, et al. (2013) in Risk for
Eating Disorder Relates to Both Gender and Ethnicity for College Students, where she found that
"eliminating high-fat foods" and "weight concerns interfering with the academic performance"
were two causes of eating disorders in students. Additionally, Maracena Valladares, PhD, et al.
(2016) discovered that women were more likely than men to suffer from an eating disorder. As a
result, female students who engage in emotional eating score worse academically than male
students for whom there is no connection between eating behavior and performance.
In addition, Fairburn et al. (2005) found that although two-stage community estimates of
eating disorders are even more uncommon in Asian cultures than in Western populations,
approximate estimates are nonetheless cause for concern. 3–10% of adolescent females in Hong
Kong, according to a number of community studies, have eating disorders. The public was often
informed about the rising prevalence of weight-controlling activities and persons who had
experienced eating disorders by the media in a number of Asian nations. Women experience
eating disorders more frequently than do men. Jordan M. Ellis et al. (2020), men stigmatize
binge-eating disorder (BED) and anorexia nervosa (AN) more than women do. He proposes
looking into how eating habits effect the way that person perceives the world.
