To the most important individuals in my life – Albert, Frederick and Fluffy. Thank you for your endless love and support. I love you more than anything. You’ll be in my heart forever.

Acknowledgements I dearly want to thank many people who have supported me during the last four years as I conducted this study and wrote this thesis. First of all, I want to thank my supervisor, principal, and mentor Univ.Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Freidl who made it possible in the first place to conduct this study. He supported me during the past few years with his broad knowledge, encouraged me to do research in my fields of interest and always gave me advice concerning methodological as well as theoretical questions. His invaluable support throughout my career has enabled me to become the researcher I am today. I am incredibly thankful to him. I also want to thank Univ.-Doz. Dr. Elfriede Greimel and Univ.-Prof. Dr. Peter Stix who supported and supervised me while doing this research in the field of eating disorders. I especially want to thank Mag. Dr. Karl Koschutnig for his support with the MRI measurement and data a
