Anorexia Nervosa is a life-threatening illness that affects a large number of women, young and old. Because the etiology of this eating disorder is often viewed as multifaceted and diverse, treatment providers have struggled to find the best method for helping these individuals. Recently, eating disorder literature has focused on a specific temperament or personality profile as a risk factor for the development and maintenance of Anorexia. Although a great deal of research has been performed on the aggregation of Anorexia (AN) in families and the personality dimensions of women who are diagnosed with AN, little research has looked at common personality dimensions between parents and their AN daughters. This is important to study because an awareness that a family has an underlying “AN temperament” can help researchers and treatment providers to look at one sibling who has developed AN, in comparison to another who has not, and hopefully pinpoint what environmental stressors contribute to the development of the disorder. This could eventually have significant implications for the treatment of AN. The results of the small amount of research that has been executed on this topic are contradictory. This study aimed to clarify these results and add to eating disorder literature by using the Temperament and Character Inventory to study the correlation of parents' temperament and that of their daughters who have been diagnosed with Anorexia. One significant correlation was found, on the Cooperativeness dimension, and there were positive correlations between parents and daughters on many of the temperament and character dimensions. Likewise, mothers tended to have a similar temperament profile of their AN daughters. Further research would benefit from larger samples of parents and daughters to see if other significant correlations do exist.
